Reality capture at height: Expanding the reach of XGRIDS PortalCam with the Extension Pole.
Our in-house survey team put the accessory to the test during a session with Sunderland City Council, showcasing how handheld scanning and 3DGS capture can support local authority workflows.
And it resulted in this model. If the video does not automatically play in HD, click the settings cog and select the highest video quality.
The dataset showcases PortalCam’s ability to create high-fidelity assets and the advantages of using the Extension Pole - which extends to two metres - for capturing ceiling-level detail safely from the ground.
