VLS Series
Long Distance Series Product Model
Real-world conditions are rarely ideal. Low-reflectivity surfaces, oblique angles, strong ambient light, and airborne particles all attenuate the return signal — reducing effective range well below what a sensor is rated for. The TFA1500-L long range LiDAR 's 1500m maximum range provides the signal margin to absorb these losses, ensuring stable, reliable measurements across diverse materials, target sizes, and extreme environments.

In any closed-loop control system, sensor update rate is a fundamental bottleneck — a slow sensor means the controller is always reacting to stale data, increasing the risk of instability at critical moments. The TFA1500-L long range LiDAR automatically scales its update rate with distance — a minimum of 60 Hz at long range to keep the control loop responsive, escalating to 800 Hz in the near field to provide the high-frequency distance feedback required for stable, precise near-field operations such as structure inspection and positioning hold.

Every gram added to a UAV gimbal or drone payload reduces flight endurance and narrows platform compatibility. At just 11g and ≤25×26×13mm, the TFA1500-L long range LiDAR adds ranging capability without meaningfully affecting the platform's weight budget or inertial characteristics — making it mountable on micro drones and lightweight gimbal systems.

Size: ≤25 × 26 × 13 mm
Sensor integration often stalls at the software layer. The TFA1500-L outputs standard 3.3V TTL UART with a simple, well-documented data protocol, and carries native support for PX4 and ArduPilot ecosystems.
Communication Interface: UART (TTL 3.3V)
Baud Rate: 500,000 bps
