South SA130 mini UAV LiDAR Kit (26 MP Camera)
The South SA130 mini is a lightweight UAV LiDAR system that weighs 1.3 kg and still reaches up to 1200 m, with up to 16 returns per pulse and 2,000,000 points per second. Accuracy is ±5 cm at 300 m. The kit includes an integrated 26 MP RGB camera (45 MP upgrade available), AcuteLAS Studio standard version and the Fly2Map Pilot app for DJI RC Plus 2. Benefits Light payload, so the drone flies longer per battery. 2,000,000 points per second for dense point clouds. Up to 16 returns per pulse for ground under vegetation. Software for flight and processing included. Applications Topographic mapping and DTM Forestry and vegetation surveys Power line and corridor mapping Mining and earthworks volumes Flood and drainage studies

Product Highlights
- 1.3 kg: light enough to leave flight time for the mission.
- Up to 1200 m range: long-range LiDAR in a compact unit.
- 2,000,000 points per second: dense point clouds per flight line.
- 16 returns per pulse: ground points under vegetation.
- ±5 cm at 300 m: for mapping and corridor work.
Overview
The South SA130 mini is a compact 180 x 116.5 x 87.2 mm LiDAR unit that weighs 1.3 kg. On a survey drone, a lighter payload means more flight time per battery and more area per day.
Range reaches up to 1200 m, the scanner records up to 16 returns per pulse and measures up to 2,000,000 points per second across a 100° field of view. Accuracy is ±5 cm at 300 m, which suits topographic mapping, corridor work and volume surveys.
The kit comes with a 26 MP RGB camera for colorized point clouds (a 45 MP camera is available as an upgrade), the Fly2Map Pilot app for DJI RC Plus 2, and AcuteLAS Studio standard version for processing. A DJI M350 or M400 mount is available as an option.
When the SA130 mini is not the right choice: if you also want to mount the scanner on a vehicle, the SG130 is built for multi-platform use with a slider mount and a selectable field of view up to 360°. For full specifications such as IMU accuracy and IP rating, ask us for the SA130 mini datasheet before you order.

South SF1200 Quadcopter Drone Kit
The South SF1200 is a heavy-lift survey quadcopter for LiDAR, oblique and RGB mapping. In South's flight test it hovered for 85 minutes without payload and 65 minutes with a 2.2 kg LiDAR, and it carries up to 6 kg. The kit comes ready to fly with the RC20 remote controller, the SC3200 charging hub and two batteries. Drone and LiDAR are controlled from one system, so you take off with one key and set no LiDAR parameters on a laptop first. Benefits More area per flight: 65 minutes with a 2.2 kg LiDAR in South's test. One-key takeoff with drone and LiDAR controlled together. Terrain following and forward radar obstacle avoidance for hilly sites. Cable-free mounts for LiDAR, 5-lens oblique or RGB cameras. Applications Airborne LiDAR mapping Oblique photogrammetry and 3D city models Corridor mapping for roads, rail and power lines Mining and stockpile surveys Forestry and terrain models
