DJI Zenmuse L1 Solutions
The Zenmuse L1 is DJI's first generation LiDAR system. When used with DJI M300 RTK and DJI Terra, the Zenmuse L1 gives you real-time 3D data, efficiently capturing structures and delivering accurate models. This entry-level system is a low-cost solution for users who are entering the surveying market.
DJI M300 RTK + DJI Zenmuse L1 + DJI Terra + TrueView LP360
This hardware and software kit includes the DJI Zenmuse L1, DJI M300 RTK drone, DJI Terra software, and TrueView LP360 software. This enables users to fly drone LiDAR missions using the customer’s L1/L2 base station. GeoCue’s LP360 software provides an integrated suite of software tools for exploiting data collected from the Zenmuse L1.
Recommended Add-Ons: Metashape for LP360, StripAlign for LP360, TrueView™ Reckon Data Hosting Portal
DJI Zenmuse L1 + DJI Terra + TrueView LP360
This hardware and software kit includes DJI Zenmuse L1, DJI Terra software, and TrueView LP360 software. This enables users to fly drone LiDAR missions using their own M300 RTK drone and L1/L2 base station. GeoCue’s LP360 software provides an integrated suite of software tools for exploiting data collected from the Zenmuse L1.
Recommended Add-Ons: Metashape for LP360, StripAlign for LP360, TrueView Reckon Data Hosting Portal
TrueView LP360
GeoCue’s TrueView LP360 software provides an integrated suite of software tools for exploiting data collected from the Zenmuse L1. This is for customers who already own a survey-grade L1/L2 base station, M300 RTK drone, or Zenmuse L1 and now need a more comprehensive surveying workflow. For optimal surveying accuracy, GeoCue recommends and offers camera calibration at an additional cost.
Recommended Add-Ons: Metashape for LP360, StripAlign for LP360, TrueView Reckon Data Hosting Portal, Camera Calibration
TrueView™ LP360 provides users the ability to:
- Import project control for data QC
- Generate accuracy reports with ease
- Perform volumetric analysis
- Classify data with automatic and interactive tools
- Create and deliver final products
We provide direct support to customers who acquire our bundled solution.
Key features of pairing TrueView LP360 with the DJI Zenmuse Z1:
- Virtually manage calibration files
- Process in PPK mode using most L1/L2 base stations
- Automatically gather and download ephemeris files
- Update EXIF tags
- Create photo package that feeds directly into Metashape (can be exported to Pix4D or Context Capture)
- Eliminate bouncing between multiple applications with addition of Metashape for LP360

Integrations
Metashape for LP360
We have built interfaces directly into our drone mapping processing software, TrueView™ LP360, for driving both an embedded version of Metashape (Metashape for LP360), as well as the full GUI version of Metashape Professional. This design provides a seamless photogrammetric workflow for users of LP360 processing software.
Metashape for LP360 supports the generation of:
- Block bundle adjusted imagery improving the positional accuracy
- Point clouds from imagery (“structure from motion”) – typically used in DJI camera workflows
- Orthomosaics
StripAlign for LP360
Data can exhibit small geometric inconsistencies, especially when combining data from multiple flights. BayesMap StripAlign for EVO detects and corrects these errors via an application of sensor-specific mathematical modeling. LP360 is a fully automated process with no need for users to set project-specific “tuning” parameters or to move in and out of the LP360 processing environment – press a button and it works!
