X-Grids Portal Cam: The $5K Scanner That Challenges $100K LiDAR Rigs

We visited Ivan at NYCAP 3D - https://www.nycap3d.com/ - in the Brooklyn Navy Yard to check out the X-Grids Portal Cam — a new all-in-one Gaussian splatting and LiDAR capture device. At just $5,000, it scans a 1,000 sq ft space in under 5 minutes with millimeter accuracy, producing stunning 3D captures that rival scanners costing 4–20x more. We compare it to the Leica RTC 360 and BLK 360, demo the setup and workflow, and look at real-world scan results including a beautiful outdoor capture from Vermont. If you're into 3D scanning, photogrammetry, or Gaussian splats, this one's worth a watch. Filmed at New York Capture (NYCAP 3D), Brooklyn Navy Yard. https://www.nycap3d.com/ #GaussianSplatting #3DScanning #XGrids #PortalCam #LiDAR #Photogrammetry #NYCAP3D #SpatialCapture #3DCapture #PointCloud #GaussianSplats #BrooklynNavyYard #TechReview
