How can I get my system boresighted?

There are two options to boresight your system detailed below:

1. You can send the system back to us for boresighting. There is a flat charge for the calibration which includes aerial acquisition and data processing. Please fill out an RMA Request Form on our site if you choose this option. 

2. You can choose to fly the boresighting acquisition mission yourself and upload the data to us for processing. If you select this option, please refer to the Boresighting Flight Strategy section in our User Manual for details of this process. Once the data is uploaded to our server through our File Upload page, there is an hourly fee to process the data. When you’ve uploaded the data, send an email to support@phoenixlidar.com so that we are notified of your upload.
