Laser rangefinder modules for uav / drone payload
Board-level modules · published single-unit prices · figures verified 2026-10-23
For uav / drone payload the binding constraint is weight, supply ripple and blind zone decide this; range is rarely the limit at 200 m agl. The table below filters the catalogue to the classes that fit this job, with the published single-unit price for each.
Classes that fit uav / drone payload
| Model | Range | Emitter | Blind zone | Supply | Published unit price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LRF10VB | 0.05–9 m | 940 nm DToF | 5 cm | 3.3–5 V | $10 |
| LRF22VB | 0.05–20 m | 905 nm | 5 cm | 3.3–5 V | $12 |
| LRF50VB | 0.05–50 m | 905 nm | 5 cm | 3.3–5 V | $70 |
| LR1000E2 | 4–1,000 m | 905 nm | 4 m | 3.3–5 V | $80 |
| LR2000E2 | 4–2,000 m | 905 nm | 4 m | 3.3–5 V | $120 |
| LRF3000A1 | ≥3,000 m | 905 nm | 4 m | 3.3–5 V | $200 |
What to check before ordering
- Working distance versus blind zone — the module must read the nearest target, not the farthest.
- Supply rail — Weight, supply ripple and blind zone decide this; range is rarely the limit at 200 m AGL.
- Interface — UART-TTL with a documented frame and checksum on every class; no native analog output.
What this page does not claim
It does not quote competitors' specifications from memory, and it publishes no number our catalogue does not carry. Where a figure matters and is unpublished, ask for the datasheet.
