Take a look at the latest Leica scanner looks impressive and at $15,000 I envisage many people getting one.
Impressive.
Wonder what the distance is.
60m was the number that was stated in the video. Definitely a product that is geared more toward BIM, construction, and manufacturing than surveying and civil engineering.
The registration process sounds interesting, the video mentioned automatic registration on site.

At nearly 1/10th the cost of a P40 I'm willing to do a few intermediate setups around the site :joy:

That's Clair, he is from Michigan. He is the regional manager for Construction HDS. The guy hold the the BLK360 is President, Hexagon Geosystems NAFTA Ken Mooyman
This product is not designed to replace the P40 or any of the P-series for that matter. It designed to work with it or as standalone. I believe this product was designed to compete against FARO's high end scanner(s).
If you have any questions i was just in a "product overview" meeting early this week. I can fill in some information, but as the product isn't available till Spring 2017 details are a little vague at the moment. Leica is a VERY conservative company and they don't want to put out miss information.

I think that is probably the case alright. The pairing with Autodesk Recap rather than Cyclone suggests a workflow aimed at BIM and Revit.

Exactly the reason I didnt/don't believe it is in your best interest to buy a laser scanner. The technology is still morphing into something much more streamlined, small and affordable. 60 m is plenty for most applications including outside. Even with the "long range" scanners your point density is crap after 30-40 feet. So something of this magnitude is an industry changer and they will make their money on software rather than hardware....like most laser scanner manufacturers.
Impressive, too bad they had to get Autodesk involved. 🙁
dumb question, but what would be the advantage of this scanner versus a drone with 20mp camera? I passed on scanners 12 years ago but am interested in drones and their capabilities. You could get a 3d image with a drone flying around an object. both require post processing
Faster and much more accurate.
