Optech Announces Ladybug 5 Camera for Lynx Mobile Mapper

Toronto, Canada, October 8, 2013 Optech, the world leader in the development, manufacture and support of advanced lidar and camera survey instruments, is pleased to announce that its Lynx MG1 and Lynx SG1 Mobile Mapper product lines now support the use of the Point Grey Ladybug 5 spherical imaging system. The Ladybug 5, which boasts six high-sensitivity 5-Megapixel imagers that cover 90% of a full sphere, offers Optech users more options in assembling a mobile surveying solution optimized to meet their specific application requirements.

Supporting the use of the Ladybug 5 is a natural next step in our strategy to offer our users as much flexibility in their imaging solution as is necessary to meet their project requirements, said Albert Iavarone, Business Unit Manager, Optech.
