Hi, do you have any specs with regards to the Ping 360’ robustness to rotation?

I.e how much or fast can the device rotate and still get a useful output?

Best,  
Ole

Hi,

The scan speed depends on a number of variables, such as distance, resolution and etc.  
To have an idea about the speed and the speed scale based on distance, take a look in Ping360 specification page.
