The short answer: Volumet rents the Matterport Pro3 LiDAR tour-capture camera in Singapore at S$2,000 per week (GST-exclusive), with a two-day minimum rental, a refundable deposit, and island-wide pickup or delivery. It is a rental, not a tour-shooting service: you capture the spaces yourself, and every tour, model, and point cloud you produce is yours. This guide covers the price, the one requirement that surprises first-time renters (a Matterport account), what a rental includes, and the cases where you should rent a different device.
What is the Matterport Pro3?
The Matterport Pro3 is the current flagship of the Matterport ecosystem: a tripod-mounted LiDAR camera that captures a full sweep in under 20 seconds, combining 100,000 points per second of LiDAR ranging with 134 MP five-exposure HDR imagery. Sweeps upload to the Matterport cloud, which stitches them into a navigable virtual tour and digital twin your clients can walk through from any browser, alongside mesh and e57 point cloud exports for documentation work.
For teams in Singapore that need a Matterport camera for a project window rather than a purchase, weekly rental is the practical entry point: current hardware, no capex approval, no ownership overhead.
How much does Matterport rental cost in Singapore?
Pricing follows the same simple structure as the rest of the Volumet fleet: one weekly rate, an optional onboarding fee depending on how you receive the kit, and a refundable deposit confirmed in the quote. All rates are in SGD and exclude GST.
| Item | Rate (SGD, excl. GST) |
|---|---|
| Matterport Pro3 weekly rental | S$2,000 / week |
| Guided onboarding (self-pickup) | S$250 |
| Guided onboarding (delivered) | S$400 |
| Minimum rental | 2 days |
| Security deposit | Confirmed in quote |
| Volumet-hosted processing | Quoted add-on |
For context across the fleet: the handheld Lixel K2 rents at S$2,300 per week, the PortalCam 3DGS camera at S$1,200, and the survey-grade Leica BLK360 G2 at S$2,800. The full line-up and live availability sit on the rental page.
The requirement to know first: a Matterport account
Matterport tours do not live on the camera; they live in the Matterport cloud. Dry rental of the Pro3 therefore assumes you process and host captures on your own Matterport account, under your own subscription, which also means your tours stay yours after the rental ends. If your team does not have an account and does not want one, Volumet-hosted processing is available as a quoted add-on: ask when you enquire, with your space count and approximate floor area.
Pro3 specs that matter on site
- Relative accuracy: ±20 mm at 10 m.
- Range: 20 m for tour models, up to 100 m for e57 point cloud capture.
- Sweep speed: under 20 seconds per position at 100,000 points per second.
- Imagery: 134 MP five-exposure HDR, indoors and out.
- Weight: roughly 2.2 kg plus tripod.
- Outputs: virtual tour, digital twin, mesh, and e57 point cloud.
The practical consequence: a typical apartment or retail unit is an hour or two of sweeps, a full office floor is a morning, and the tour is processed and shareable the same day once uploads finish. Static sweeps reward a planned route: work room by room, keep sight lines between positions, and the cloud stitching takes care of the rest.
What does a rental include?
A handover includes the Pro3, tripod, batteries and charger, and carry case, confirmed item by item against a checklist. Dry rental is available to teams that have shot Matterport before; first-time teams should add guided onboarding, a session covering camera setup, sweep technique, the capture app, and return requirements. Logistics are Singapore-wide, with pickup at Ubi or delivery arranged per rental, and the enquiry process is the same as the rest of the fleet: send dates, site, and workflow through the contact form and availability comes back within one business day.
Rent the camera, or hire a tour company?
An honest fork, because Singapore has established virtual tour providers who will shoot a space for a per-project fee. Hire a provider when you need one polished tour of one space and never want to touch the hardware. Rent the camera when the maths flips: multiple units to capture (show-flats, a hotel floor by floor, a venue in different configurations), recurring documentation, or any project where you want control of the schedule and the raw captures. A week of rental capturing ten spaces costs a fraction of ten service engagements, and the captures, tours, and exports belong to you. Volumet is deliberately on one side of this fork: it rents the equipment and does not shoot tours for clients.
Who should not rent the Pro3?
If the deliverable is survey-grade or Scan-to-BIM point clouds rather than an immersive tour, a tour-capture camera is the wrong tool. Rent the handheld Lixel K2 for walk-through SLAM capture with RTK georeferencing, or the Leica BLK360 G2 when tolerances are tight; the Lixel K2 vs Matterport comparison walks through the split in detail. And if the goal is photorealistic 3D Gaussian Splatting scenes rather than a cloud-hosted tour platform, the PortalCam at S$1,200 per week is the dedicated 3DGS option.
Frequently asked questions
How much does Matterport rental cost in Singapore?
The Matterport Pro3 rents at S$2,000 per week (GST-exclusive) with a two-day minimum rental. Optional guided onboarding is S$250 with self-pickup or S$400 with delivery included, and a refundable security deposit is confirmed in the quote.
Do I need my own Matterport account to rent the camera?
Dry rental assumes you process and host captures on your own Matterport account, since tours live in the Matterport cloud under your subscription. If you don't have an account, Volumet-hosted processing is available as a quoted add-on.
Should I rent a Matterport camera or hire a virtual tour company?
Rent the camera when you have multiple spaces to capture, ongoing documentation needs, or a team that can walk the site: the weekly rate quickly beats per-space service fees. Hire a tour provider when you need a single polished tour and never want to touch the hardware. Volumet rents the equipment; it does not shoot tours for clients.
Can the Matterport Pro3 replace a LiDAR survey scanner?
No. The Pro3 delivers ±20 mm relative accuracy at 10 m and exports e57 point clouds, which suits as-built reference and documentation, but it is optimised for immersive tours. For Scan-to-BIM and survey-grade point clouds, rent the handheld Lixel K2 (S$2,300/week) or the Leica BLK360 G2 terrestrial scanner (S$2,800/week) instead.
