VP-1
Helicopter Pod for Airborne Laser Scanning
The RIEGL VP-1 HeliCopterPod is designed to offer smooth integration of airborne laser scanning systems into manned helicopters. The small and lightweight pod can be mounted on standard hard points and typical camera mounts. Quick release adapter brackets and a minimum of external cabling (i.e. power supply, LAN, GPS antenna) allow quick system installation and removal.
Description
