Flyability Elios 3 Surveying Payload
The Elios 3 Surveying Payload turns the Elios 3 into a flying mobile scanner that creates centimeter-accurate 3D scans of the most inaccessible spaces. Combining the high-resolution Ouster OS0-128 Rev 7 LiDAR with FARO Connect’s leading SLAM, it captures survey-grade point clouds from 0.1% drift — turning days of mapping into a 10-minute flight.
Survey-grade 3D point clouds
Every flight becomes a dense, colorized 3D point cloud — a detailed digital twin of the most complex and inaccessible spaces, ready to measure and report on with centimeter detail.
Centimeter accuracy in tough spaces
The Ouster OS0-128 Rev 7 LiDAR paired with FARO Connect SLAM delivers ±6 mm precision and accuracy from 0.1% drift, even in GPS-denied, feature-poor environments.
Scan a whole space in one flight
Fly the caged Elios 3 through galleries, tanks and voids and let it scan continuously — turning days of terrestrial setup into a single short flight.
Process in FARO Connect
Export to LAZ, LAS, PLY, TXT or E57 and process directly in FARO Connect — a streamlined path from flight to deliverable in minutes.
Reach the truly inaccessible
Fitting through a 50 x 50 cm opening, the caged Elios 3 maps confined galleries, ore passes, tanks and voids that no terrestrial scanner can safely reach.
