NavVis adds CLX handheld capture device for routine site documentation

NavVis introduced CLX as a handheld addition to its LX-Series, complementing MLX and VLX. The new device targets frequent documentation tasks and supports LOD200 Scan-to-CAD/BIM workflows.

Teams conducting site assessments and quantity surveying could have another option for recurring capture work. The announcement does not provide enough technical or pricing detail to assess potential savings or suitability for specific project requirements.

NavVis is extending its LX-Series with CLX, a handheld device positioned for high-volume, everyday documentation rather than occasional capture work. The announcement identifies area referencing, site assessment and quantity surveying as target uses, alongside support for LOD200 Scan-to-CAD/BIM workflows. Its stated design priorities are quick deployment, confidence that required spaces have been captured, and continuity from data processing to final deliverables. For teams documenting buildings and sites, the relevant shift is toward making reality capture a more routine part of project work. However, the report provides no price, accuracy specifications, capture rates or independent testing. Claims of affordability and professional-quality output therefore remain unverified in the supplied material. CLX expands the product range, but its practical value will depend on whether its data quality and workflow performance meet the requirements of those recurring tasks.
