{"product_id":"freefly-flux-o1-lidar-sensor","title":"Freefly Flux O1 LiDAR Sensor","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Freefly Flux O1 is an NDAA-compliant, high-performance aerial LiDAR sensor built around the Ouster OS1 scanner. Delivering up to 5.2 million points per second across a 360° × 42.4° field of view with dual returns, the Flux O1 produces ultra-dense point clouds with ±3 cm accuracy and ±0.5 cm precision — confidently resolving edges, cables, and fine features in complex environments. With a maximum range of approximately 200m (656 ft), dual full-band GNSS receivers with PPK post-processing, and a 20 MP Ximea RGB camera for colorized deliverables, the Flux O1 is purpose-built for critical infrastructure inspection, corridor mapping, construction, and government operations. At approximately 650g (~23 oz), it mounts via the integrated Smart Dovetail interface to Freefly Astro and Astro Max. No calibration passes required, no software subscriptions, no ongoing maintenance fees. NDAA compliant and DIU Blue UAS listed.

The Flux H1 (Hesai XT-32MX) offers ±1 cm accuracy, 1.92M pts\/sec, and 300m range for the highest survey-grade precision. The Flux L1 (Livox Avia) is the entry-level option with 240K pts\/sec, 450m range, and non-repetitive scanning for power lines and hard-to-image assets.

In Freefly’s testing, an M3 iPad processes flight data at roughly 4× real time — so an 8-minute flight takes approximately 2 minutes to process. The Flux O1 flew a crosshatch survey in approximately 14 minutes 25 seconds, with data processing in about 4 minutes 26 seconds on an iPad. Simply remove the USB-C drive, import into the Flux app on your iPad, add your RINEX file for GNSS post-processing, and review your point cloud.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n  \u003csummary\u003eDoes the Flux O1 require calibration before each flight?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eNo. The Flux O1 requires no calibration passes or special flight patterns.
