Introducing the New FLIGHTS SCAN HANDY Series for Enhanced Measurement Efficiency

New Innovations in Measurement Technology

FLIGHTS, a technology startup focused on enhancing measurement efficiency in the construction industry, has unveiled its latest series of portable laser scanners: the FLIGHTS SCAN HANDY 2 and HANDY 2 Plus. This new lineup, which adds two additional models to the highly acclaimed original series, aims to meet the evolving demands of measurement tasks in various settings, including construction and surveying sites.

The Need for Enhanced Features

As the construction sector increasingly embraces i-Construction and the utilization of three-dimensional data, there has been a growing demand for easy-to-use handheld devices that maintain precision in complicated environments. Feedback from users indicated a desire for efficiency without sacrificing quality, particularly in challenging areas such as underground locations or complex terrains.

FLIGHTS responded to these requests by retaining the core concepts of the original FLIGHTS SCAN HANDY—lightweight, compact, and highly portable—while incorporating the latest advancements in Visual SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) technology and 3DGS (3D Gaussian Splatting). This innovation allows users to select optimal specifications tailored to their specific measurement requirements, thereby accelerating the digital transformation across all construction sites, from small indoor projects to extensive earthworks.

Product Lineup and Features

Both models in this new series are equipped with Visual SLAM technology, enabling self-location estimation even in GNSS-denied environments. This ensures consistent mapping stability, making it particularly effective in locations that lack defined features, such as tunnels.

1. FLIGHTS SCAN HANDY 2

The FLIGHTS SCAN HANDY 2 serves as the new standard in portable laser scanning. Building upon the success of its predecessor, it features dual panoramic cameras that significantly enhance scanning stability through Visual SLAM. This model achieves high-quality point cloud coloring and 3DGS model creation, ensuring ease of use while delivering exceptional accuracy.

- Relative Accuracy: ≤2cm
- Absolute Accuracy: ≤3cm
- Key Features: Dual-camera system, Visual SLAM compatible

2. FLIGHTS SCAN HANDY 2 Plus

As the flagship model in the series, the FLIGHTS SCAN HANDY 2 Plus is designed for a wide range of measurement needs. This high-spec model includes three panoramic cameras as well as dual cameras for SLAM, allowing for omnidirectional data acquisition with impressive detail in point cloud coloring and realistic spatial reproduction through 3DGS.

Additionally, the advanced laser sensors enable long-distance measurements that are 1.5 to 4 times faster compared to previous models, facilitating accurate data collection regardless of time or environmental constraints.

- Relative Accuracy: ≤1cm
- Absolute Accuracy: ≤3cm
- Key Features: Triple panoramic cameras, Visual SLAM, three selectable sensors based on user needs

Flexible Models for Diverse Sites

The FLIGHTS SCAN HANDY 2 Plus offers three distinct models tailored to various operational goals and site scales:

- XT16: Ideal for small to medium projects, particularly for supplemental surveying of earthworks.
- XT32: Suitable for small to medium projects involving complex structures requiring supplemental measurements.
- M2X: Designed for large-scale sites where efficient surveying and 3D modeling are paramount.

Sales Information

These new models will be available for order starting January 29, 2026, with deliveries commencing shortly thereafter. Pricing information and details regarding free demo sessions across the country can be found on the official FLIGHTS website.

With these innovative product offerings, FLIGHTS continues to lead the charge in optimizing measurement processes, and the new HANDY series stands out as a significant advancement in the industry.
