Accuracy figures are XGRIDS’ typical values; real results depend on the site, capture method, control and processing.

Plain answers.
01Lixel K2 or L2 Pro?
Both give 1 cm relative accuracy. The K2 is lighter (1.2 kg), has RTK built in and suits building sites and existing conditions up to about 40 m. The L2 Pro reaches 120 to 300 m, scans up to 640,000 points a second and mounts on a drone or vehicle, so it suits large sites, corridors and mining.
02Lixel L3 or L2 Pro?
The L3 leads on accuracy (5 mm relative, 2 cm absolute), colour (three 50 MP cameras with 4K HDR) and integration (RTK, screen and processing in the unit). The L2 Pro keeps the longer-range options and drone or vehicle mounting. Different tools for different jobs.
03Lixel K1 or K2?
The K2 adds built-in RTK, a longer maximum range (100 m), IP54 sealing and 512 GB storage for $1,500 more. If you need geo-referenced data or work outdoors, the K2 is the better buy.
04PortalCam or a Lixel scanner?
PortalCam is built for photoreal 3D Gaussian Splatting: true-to-life scenes for sales, heritage and film. The Lixel scanners are built for measurement: point clouds for surveying, BIM and construction. Many teams pair one of each.
05Can I try before I buy?
Yes. Demos can be arranged, and project-based hire is available on request.
