Key Features & Why It Matters

Full-Frame, Survey-Grade Imaging

The Sony ILX-LR1 delivers full-frame image quality with exceptional resolution, dynamic range, and color fidelity.

Why it matters:
Higher image quality improves reconstruction accuracy, reduces processing errors, and enhances final deliverables.

Ultra-Lightweight Camera Architecture

The ILX-LR1 is engineered to minimize payload weight while maintaining professional imaging performance.

Why it matters:
Lower payload weight allows the IF1200 to fly longer, cover more ground, and operate more efficiently per mission.

Optimized for Large-Area Mapping

Paired with the IF1200 platform, this payload excels in extended-range and high-altitude mapping missions.

Why it matters:
Fewer flights are required to complete large projects, saving time and operational costs.

Native IF1200 Integration

Purpose-built electrical and software integration ensures stable operation and reliable data capture.

Why it matters:
Reduces setup time and eliminates compatibility issues in mission-critical operations.

Precision Gimbal Stabilization

Advanced stabilization ensures sharp imagery even during dynamic flight conditions.

Why it matters:
Consistently sharp images improve photogrammetry outputs and reduce re-flight risk.
