  The LiDAR base unit can be installed on a variety of platforms and can be housed in a weatherproof enclosure for field deployment. 
 
LiDAR_Scanner.jpg (210318 bytes)NEW: A new hemisphere scanner, designed and manufactured by Halo Photonics, allows the LiDAR beam to be scanned in any pattern. The design incorporates a slip ring, allowing continual azimuth scanning without cable wrap up. A video camera is situated close to the LiDAR output aperture. The scanner is a stand alone product, which may be suitable for other equipment - please contact us if you have a requirement.
