Emesent Hovermap Payload
Hovermap is a smart mobile scanning unit that can be mounted to a drone to provide autonomous mapping in challenging, inaccessible areas.

Hovermap is not only for drone use, its flexible design allows it to be used for walking, vehicle or backpack-mounted scans.

Equally capable above ground or underground, indoors or out, Hovermap is your complete mobile LiDAR mapping solution.

Hovermap’s quick-release mechanism makes it easy to switch from a drone flight to a walking scan, enabling the collection of critical data both in the air and on the ground, with the ability to automatically merge the results. Weighing only 1.8kg (4 lb), it is easily portable and compatible with smaller drones such as the DJI M210.

With this powerful combination you’ll be on your way to capturing LiDAR data like never before.
