 Pro3 owners: what would actually make you test a different professional LiDAR scanner? Disclosure: Realsee is a WGAN marketing partner. This thread isn't a pitch — it's a genuine question for the community, and Realsee is one of several options worth comparing. The Matterport Pro3 has been the default professional capture device for a lot of us for a while now. But the LiDAR scanner space has gotten a lot more crowded — newer cameras like the Realsee Galois P4 are pushing on specs like 24K visuals, ~16-second scan points, 100m LiDAR range, and a wider set of exportable deliverables (point clouds, CAD, floor plans, 3D models). So I want to put the question to those of you actually running a Pro3 day to day: » Image quality — would sharper, higher-res visuals change what you can charge or who you can shoot for? » Capture speed — does faster per-point capture meaningfully change your day, or is travel/setup the real bottleneck? » Export options — do you want more downloadable deliverables (raw, CAD, point clouds), or is a hosted tour link enough? » Pricing model — would pay-as-you-go / credit-based hosting beat a fixed monthly subscription for your workflow? I'm curious where the real friction is. Is the Pro3 still "good enough" that switching isn't worth the hassle? Or is there a specific gap — a deliverable a client keeps asking for, a cost that keeps stacking up — that has you eyeing alternatives? If you've tested another scanner alongside your Pro3, I'd love to hear what held up and what didn't. Vote with your gut: of those four — image quality, capture speed, export options, pricing model — which one would actually get you to switch? |

| So far the Pro3 is unbeatable when I combine price, ease, and output. I would consider switching if another product met two of those and significantly improved the third. | ||
