The Galois M2 is still functional, but it is compromised after the fall and service turnaround is not fast. That makes it a weak choice as our primary Realsee unit.
At the same time, the Galois P4 is a real upgrade in the areas that matter most for premium client deliverables: scan speed, pano quality, range, and overall flagship positioning inside the Realsee workflow.
This decision also becomes clearer because our FJD Trion P2 is not a base setup only. We use it with an Insta360 X5 and an RTK module, which already gives us a stronger technical and mobile capture system for field documentation, SLAM-style work, and georeferenced workflows.
| Device | Role | Best Use at 33Visual |
|---|---|---|
| FJD Trion P2 + Insta360 X5 + RTK | Technical / mobile capture system | Field documentation, SLAM workflows, flexible site capture, stronger georeferencing |
| Galois P4 | Premium Realsee flagship | Fast, polished, client-facing digital twins and premium Realsee deliverables |
| Galois M2 | Secondary / backup unit | Backup only if repair cost and turnaround make sense |
| Option | Pros | Cons | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Repair M2 only | Lowest immediate spend, familiar workflow | Slow turnaround, compromised unit, no real improvement to the kit | Only makes sense if preserving cash is the top priority |
| Buy P4 now, service M2 later | Immediate upgrade, no waiting, stronger split with the P2, M2 can become backup later | Highest short-term spend | Best operational move |
| Rely only on P2 | No new Realsee hardware spend | Does not replace the premium Realsee-native presentation workflow | Not ideal if Realsee remains an important deliverable |
| Device | Core Role | LiDAR Wavelength | Range | LiDAR FOV | Speed / Density | Accuracy | Imaging | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Galois M2 | Realsee tripod digital twin | 940 nm | 0.2–25 m | 360° × 155° | Approx. 15 min / 1000 sq ft | < ±20 mm at 10 m | 16K pano, 4/3" CMOS, 5-exposure HDR, 16384 × 8192 | Existing unit, but damaged from the fall |
| Galois P4 | Premium Realsee flagship | 905 nm | Up to 100 m | Broader coverage than M2 | 125,600 pts/s, approx. 16 s per scan point, approx. 8 min / 1000 sq ft | Better stated precision than M2 | 24K / approx. 300 MP pano, 47 MP module, 4/3" CMOS | Best fit for premium client-facing Realsee work |
| FJD Trion P2 | Mobile SLAM / technical point cloud | 905 nm | 40 m @ 10% reflectivity / 70 m @ 80% | 360° × 59° | 200,000 pts/s | Real-time: 2 cm relative / 5 cm absolute; post-processed: 1.2 cm relative / 3 cm absolute | Used by 33Visual with Insta360 X5 + RTK module | Best for technical capture, flexible field workflows, and georeferenced documentation |
Buy the P4. Keep the P2 + X5 + RTK in its technical/mobile role. Repair the M2 only if the cost and turnaround make sense, and treat it as a backup rather than the main platform.
