Greenvaley LiAir H800

Long-range airborne LiDAR campaigns over large forestry blocks, extended powerline corridors, and wide-area topographic surveys are constrained by two variables: how far the sensor can reach and how fast it can cover ground. The GreenValley LiAir H800 addresses both with a 1000 kHz pulse rate, 1000-metre scanning range, and a coverage rate of up to 7 square kilometres per hour, all in a 2.2 kg payload compatible with the DJI M300 and M350 RTK.

• 1000 kHz pulse rate and 1000-metre scanning range for large-area efficiency: The H800's high frequency and long detection range enable survey flights at greater altitude with wider swath coverage per flight line, significantly reducing the number of lines required to cover large project areas and lowering total flight time for campaigns measured in hundreds of square kilometres.
• Up to 7 square kilometres per hour coverage rate: Among the highest area coverage rates available in a sub-3 kg airborne LiDAR payload, the H800 keeps pace with large-area forestry inventory, wide-area topographic mapping, and extended corridor inspection programmes where campaign efficiency directly affects project economics.
• Up to 7 echoes per pulse for dense canopy penetration and terrain mapping: Multi-return capability with a small laser spot size and advanced algorithms ensures ground strikes reach through dense forest canopy, producing complete terrain models beneath full-cover vegetation where low-return systems fail to capture sufficient ground points for accurate DTM generation.
• Self-adaptive point cloud density for consistent data quality across terrain: The system automatically adjusts point density based on the scanning environment, maintaining data quality across varied terrain without manual parameter changes between flight lines or mission segments.
• 26 MP camera for simultaneous imagery and LiDAR in a single flight: The integrated camera captures high-resolution imagery alongside the LiDAR scan, enabling true-colour point cloud generation and orthophoto production without a separate camera payload or additional flight over the survey area.
• 2.2 kg for DJI M300 and M350 RTK deployment: The lightweight design fits within the payload envelope of the DJI M300 and M350 RTK without approaching weight limits, preserving aircraft flight time and performance across extended survey campaigns.

Overview and Who It's For

The LiAir H800 is designed for survey companies, forestry operations, power utility inspection teams, and disaster response mapping crews who need a high-performance long-range airborne LiDAR system that deploys from compact professional UAV platforms. At 1000 metres of detection range and up to 7 km per hour of area coverage, it is suited to large-scale projects where campaign efficiency and data density at range are the primary performance requirements. Pairs with GreenValley's LiGeoreference for post-processing georeferencing and LiDAR360 for point cloud classification, terrain modelling, and powerline analysis.

Primary verticals:

• Forestry and Environmental: Dense canopy penetration with up to 7 returns and large-area coverage for forestry inventory, biomass estimation, canopy height modelling, and terrain mapping beneath full-cover forest at campaign scales.
• Civil and Power: High-frequency scanning over extended transmission corridors for powerline inspection, vegetation clearance analysis, and conductor sag measurement across large grid networks.
• Survey and Mapping: Rapid wide-area topographic mapping at up to 7 km per hour for large infrastructure, land development, and national mapping projects where time-on-task is a primary cost driver.
• Public Safety: Fast deployment over disaster-affected areas for terrain assessment, damage documentation, and access route analysis in time-sensitive response and recovery operations.

FAQs

How does the LiAir H800 compare to the LiAir H600?
The H800 offers a longer detection range (1000 m versus 750 m for the H600 Pro), a higher pulse rate (1000 kHz versus 550 kHz), and a greater area coverage rate (up to 7 km² per hour). The H600 is lighter at 1.3 kg versus 2.2 kg for the H800. The right choice depends on your project area, required altitude, and aircraft payload capacity. Contact Candrone to discuss which system suits your workflow.

What software is required to process LiAir H800 data?
Field acquisition is managed through GreenValley's Flight Assistant app. Post-processing uses LiGeoreference for trajectory fusion and georeferencing, followed by LiDAR360 for point cloud classification, terrain analysis, and forestry metrics, or LiPowerline for powerline inspection workflows. Contact Candrone for current software bundle options.

Can the H800 capture ground returns through dense forest canopy?
Yes. The H800's small laser spot size and up to 7 returns per pulse enable ground strikes through dense canopy cover. This makes it well suited for forestry inventory and DTM generation beneath full-cover forest, including applications where ground point density is critical for accurate terrain modelling.
