Blog Kategorien: 

Dear laser scanning community,

Laserscanning Europe offers a variety of robust and high-quality adapters for the panoramic camera iSTAR from NCTech.

When should I use the iSTAR camera?

Using the iSTAR camera in combination with a laser scanner is perfectly suited if your 3D scanner cannot create color photos or if the color photos have only poor quality. With iSTAR, you generate high definition images allowing you to colorize the point clouds of your scanner.

Which advantages do the iSTAR adapters provide?

Due to the suited adapter for your laser scanner, the lenses of the iSTAR camera and the mirror axis of the scanner are located exactly at the same height. Thus, you get parallax-free results.

The variable adapters for Leica, Z+F and Surphaser scanners allow you to adjust the height according to your scanner model.

For FARO scanners, we offer two adapters depending on the quick release you use for your tripod - the quick release from FARO or the quick release offered in our shop.

What is the workflow?

Since you can use the same tripod for scanner and iSTAR, you benefit from an easy workflow. You just replace scanner and iSTAR at each scan position. Scan - iSTAR capture - Position the tripod at another site - Repeat the steps. That's it!
