The Freefly Flux L1 is an entry-level professional LiDAR sensor that makes aerial 3D mapping accessible without compromising on capability. Powered by the Livox Avia scanner, the Flux L1 offers extended 450m range, a wide 70.4° × 77.2° field of view, and both repetitive and non-repetitive scanning modes — making it especially well suited for power line inspection, forestry, corridor mapping, and other hard-to-image assets. At approximately 715g, it mounts via the integrated Smart Dovetail interface to Freefly Astro, Astro Max, and Alta X platforms. The Flux L1 features dual full-band GNSS receivers with PPK post-processing, a 20 MP Ximea RGB camera, low-noise IMUs, and on-site data processing via Apple iPad — go from scan to decision in minutes, right in the field. No calibration passes required, no software subscriptions, no ongoing maintenance fees. Designed, assembled, and tested in-house by Freefly in Woodinville, WA.

The lightest, simplest LiDAR workflow — scan, process, and deliver point clouds on-site in minutes.

Features

• Livox Avia LiDAR scanner with up to 240,000 points per second and triple-echo returns for enhanced data capture through vegetation, canopy, and dense environments
• Extended detection range up to 450m (in low-light conditions) — fly higher for greater efficiency or maintain safe standoff from assets
• Wide 70.4° × 77.2° field of view for maximum coverage per pass, reducing the number of flight lines needed
• Dual scanning modes: repetitive mode for high-precision mapping of terrain, construction sites, and agricultural fields; non-repetitive mode for complete coverage of complex structures like power lines, cables, and thin assets that are difficult to capture with traditional LiDAR
• ±5 cm accuracy and ±2 cm precision — reliable point cloud quality for surveying, inspection, and volumetric measurement
• Dual full-band GNSS receivers (L1/L2/L5/L6) with PPK post-processing via dual u-blox X20 modules integrated into each antenna for centimeter-level georeferencing
• 20 MP Ximea RGB camera for colorized point clouds and visual QA of deliverables
• Low-noise IMU system automatically syncs with GNSS and LiDAR data — no calibration passes or complex flight patterns required; fly directly to your first waypoint and start surveying
• On-site processing via Apple iPad (M-series) — import data from the USB-C flash drive, add RINEX file for GNSS post-processing, and visualize results in minutes while still in the field
• Data stored on removable 256 GB USB-C flash drive; export to standard LAS or LAZ point cloud formats
• No software subscription or maintenance fees — the workflow and processing tools are included with the sensor
• Compact at approximately 715g with integrated Smart Dovetail mount — optimized for long flights on Freefly Astro, Astro Max, and Alta X platforms
• Designed, assembled, and tested in-house by Freefly in Woodinville, WA, USA
• Class 1 laser product (905 nm) per IEC 60825-1:2014 — considered eye-safe, though prolonged direct viewing and use of optical instruments to view the laser should be avoided
