Riegl VZ-1000 V-Line 3D Terrestrial Scanner

The Riegl VZ-1000 V-Line 3D Terrestrial Scanner is a type of surveying instrument that allows it to be operated in unique conditions due to its lightweight and compact size in situations such as forestry, mining, and archeological research. This instrument has a near-infrared laser capable of detecting a target over 1,400 meters away and can evaluate up to 122,000 measurements a second. Accuracy and precision of the Riegl VZ-1000 are 8 and 5 millimeters; respectively due to its small beam divergence of 0.3 milliradians.
