Matterport PRO2 vs PRO3 Cameras
We have extensively road tested the Matterport PRO2 and PRO3 cameras, putting them through their paces. Ultimately the decision as to which one to buy will come down to the types of projects you will be capturing, along with the budget you have available.
What we really like about both cameras is that they are very robust, easy to set up and use. The capture quality and accuracy are very impressive and once you have your finished completed spaces, Matterport’s advanced feature set gives you the option of extracting valuable assets, such as professional floorplans, BIM and .e57 files that are key to the marketing, design and build workflows.

RECOMMENDATION: If your projects involve outdoor spaces or scanning large areas, it is recommended to purchase the Matterport PRO3 camera. The PRO3‘s LIDAR technology, faster scanning, improved accuracy, and field swappable batteries make it suitable for a wide range of projects. While it may have a higher upfront cost, the PRO3 camera’s capabilities can quickly pay for themselves in terms of project opportunities and time saved.
It’s worth considering your specific project requirements and budget before making a final decision.
