Sony ILX-LR1 Payload for IF800

Overview

Inspired Flight Sony ILX-LR1 Payload for IF800: Full-frame aerial imaging optimized for medium-lift operations

The Inspired Flight Sony ILX-LR1 Payload for IF800 integrates Sony’s industrial full-frame camera into a lightweight aerial payload designed for medium-lift survey and inspection missions. Built around a 61MP back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor and powered by the BIONZ XR processor, the ILX-LR1 delivers exceptional still image detail and UHD 4K video performance.

Its compact, viewfinder-less body, interchangeable Sony E-mount lens support, and external DC power input make it well suited for mapping, inspection, and photogrammetry workflows flown on the IF800 platform.

Imaging performance for professional aerial data capture

At the core of the ILX-LR1 is a full-frame Exmor R CMOS sensor capable of resolving fine surface detail required for photogrammetry and asset inspection. The BIONZ XR processor enables natural color reproduction, low-noise output, and wide dynamic range across an ISO range of 100 to 32000.

Mechanical and electronic shutter options support accurate exposure during motion, while 4:3 still image capture aligns with professional mapping standards. Interchangeable E-mount lenses allow operators to select focal lengths matched to altitude and ground sampling requirements.
