We require all operators to have their part 107 and show proof of over 20 hours of 1000-class multirotor flight time.

MODUS Rental Training

LiDAR Operator Training

This two-day course covers everything you need to plan, collect, and post-process LiDAR data to create a raw geo-corrected point cloud.

 

Course Info

LiDAR LEVEL 1 Training

This optional one-day course picks up where we left off with the Operator Course.  You will learn how to do basic classification, visualization, and convert files into over 250 popular formats to allow 3rd party software to process your data.   We highly encourage this course.

RENTAL PROCESS

We offer a simple no fuss rental process.  We offer an easy one-price cost.  No tax, shipping, etc.  This makes bidding a job easy.  When you have won your bid, simply schedule and hold your equipment with a deposit.  Your equipment will arrive on your request day.  When you are complete, just drop it in the mail with one of our return mailing slips. It is that easy.

DATA PROCESSING SERVICE

When you need to leverage professional data analysts to get the job done right.

Raw Calibrated Point Cloud 

A raw geo-corrected point cloud is the base product LiDAR equipment produces.  However starting out, you may want to make sure you have a team of data analysts behind you to ensure you can wow your customer.  Perfect when you are trying to do big jobs or your company is new to LiDAR.

Point Cloud Classification

Classification assigns points into groups with useful and logical categories, such as points on a road surface, building roofs, trees, etc. Without the proper training, experience, and software renters can spend hours of tedious work trying to isolate the data of interest.  

MODUS has your US team to make sure you can deliver downstream data products to support your customer.  

Colorized Point Cloud

Need RGB LiDAR data.  No problem.  Let our professionals take your imagery and lidar data and fuse them to create a 3D colorized image.  This would provide your customer all the color they see from photogrammetry with all the accuracy and under vegetation coverage of lidar.

F.A.Q.

What does the training consist of and is it web based?
The training is hands on and in person, either in San Diego or at your site (standard GSA per diem and travel costs are added.) The training is designed for up to five students per instructor. Additional students beyond this will require more laptops and software licenses.

The training is standard industry practice OEM. Many customers are familiar with drones and photogrammetry but not LiDAR; flying LiDAR collections is different as it is an active sensor. Modus AI wants to ensure that you are successful in field operations, as well as understanding and being able to do the six-step workflow, resulting in a geocalibrated raw point cloud.
We also use this time to assess the client’s flying proficiency. A drone is only $5000 but the sensors run in excess of $50,000. This is why we certify/qualify every operator.

Are shipping days part of the rental?
NO – we charge for useable days. We expect the equipment to arrive on a certain date. The next day will start the rental time period. Shipping is charged as part of the rental as a line item on the quote. We understand there may be rain days, set up, or natural delays with the site. We found that 3 days works the best for most customers. On the last day, the postage is already paid as part of the contract. Simply take the equipment to a UPS store and they will get it back to us.
What are the average 3-day rentals cost?
Call for pricing and availability? We recommend six weeks’ notice as the equipment is in high demand.

Rental Requirements
  1. Part 107 certification
  2. Proficiency check and flight log review
  3. MODUS LiDAR and Operations training course for each operator.
  4. We also require proof of insurance with Modus as COI and full replace coverage of the equipment being rented from us.
  5. Small refundable deposit or a hold on a charge card to cover small damage like missing rotor blades, lost iPad, etc.
Why do we require training?

We want you to succeed.  Even if you have used other LiDAR systems before, every manufacturer does their process a bit different.  We know, we have worked with a lot of them.

Also, this creates a safe environment to learn and experiment.  The last thing you want is your team learning this for the first time on a job site.  You will lose money.

Last quality control.  We know when you certify with us that you will be able to operate safely and protect your insurance policy.
