    Abstract: A reality capture device, particularly a reality capture device having a lightweight construction, being configured for generating a digital representation of an environment. The reality capture device comprises a probing unit with a pivoting component configured to be pivoted relative to a base part of the reality capture device in order to generate probing data of the environment. The pivoting component is mounted on the base part by a four-point roller bearing configured as wire race bearing. Applicability of a four-point roller bearing in the form of a wire race bearing for supporting the probing unit of the reality capture device is achieved by a specific design of the inner and/or outer race supporting the raceway wires in order to reduce unwanted pressure in the bearing, e.g. due to thermal behavior.
