Option A Leica

Leica BLK2GO

Handheld SLAM Scanner

The Leica BLK2GO is a handheld SLAM scanner allowing walk-through capture, combining LiDAR, IMU, and visual data for seamless indoor and outdoor mapping.

Pros

Walk-through capture
Fastest data collection
Ultra-portable
Stairs and multi-level
Intuitive operation

Cons

Lower accuracy than static
Limited range
SLAM drift on long routes
Not for survey-grade

Best For

Rapid indoor captureMulti-story buildingsAs-built documentationTime-critical projects

Option B Leica

Leica BLK360 G2

Ultra-Portable Static Scanner

The Leica BLK360 G2 offers static scanning with tighter accuracy than handheld devices. Set it down, press a button, and get survey-grade results — under 20 seconds at the coarsest resolution setting.

Pros

Higher accuracy than handheld
Better range
Consistent results
No SLAM drift
Better for documentation

Cons

Multiple setups needed
Slower for large areas
Cant scan while moving

Best For

Accurate room scansReal estate photographyDetailed documentationWhen accuracy matters more than speed

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Leica BLK2GO specification applies?

Leica currently publishes two BLK2GO sheets; the 2025 shop sheet states 6–15 mm relative accuracy, the 05/2021 datasheet ±10 mm indoor. The figures quoted here are from the currently published shop sheet.

Which captures faster?

BLK2GO is faster for large areas—walk through once. BLK360 G2 requires multiple setups; each takes under 20 seconds at its coarsest setting (50mm point spacing at 10m, LDR image) and longer at finer settings.

Which is more accurate?

BLK360 G2 at 4mm @ 10m 3D point accuracy versus the BLK2GO's 6–15mm relative and 20mm absolute indoor accuracy. Static scanning wins for accuracy.

Can I use both together?

Excellent strategy—BLK2GO for overview capture, BLK360 G2 for detailed areas requiring precision.
