Hardware Built in the US

Mobile Scanner Starter Kit.

A backpack LiDAR scanner that's ready to walk: sensor, onboard compute, battery, and Parietra Studio in one carry-on-safe pack. Native color point clouds straight from the sensor — no camera rig. A no-frills, open design you can expand with GNSS when the job asks for it, with no recurring license fees.

The backpack scanner: an Ouster LiDAR on a mast above a black backpack carrying the compute unit and battery.
Backpack configuration · built in the US ~8 kg ready to walk · 1.5+ h per battery
Why this kit

Open the case, charge, walk.

Ready on arrival

Everything you need to capture your first plot in one rugged backpack — scanner, computer, battery, monitor, and the software already installed and licensed. Safe to carry on and lug around the world.

Phone-driven capture

The backpack runs Atlas; in the field you control it with Explorer on your phone. Join the unit's Wi-Fi hotspot, press Start, and watch the map build live as you walk. No screen on your back, nothing to babysit.

Straight into Atlas

Every scan lands as a standard map file. Open it in Atlas at the desk to clean, georeference, and export LAS or PLY — or run jobs on the unit in the field and download the result.

An open design

A standard Ubuntu computer you can log into, not a black box. Expand with GNSS when the job asks; a handheld configuration is available too.

No recurring license fees. Simple, no headaches: the software is included outright — no subscriptions, no worries about being locked out of your data, and no additional or hidden operating fees.
In the field

You walk. It maps.

A sensor wired to the backpack computer running Atlas, controlled entirely from your phone with Explorer on the unit's own hotspot. A locked phone or a dropped link reconnects and catches up on its own — the scan never stops.
