Description

Sony ILX-LR1 61MP: Full-Frame 61-Megapixel Imaging Payload for the SkyScout Series
The Sony ILX-LR1 61MP is a professional gimbal-mounted camera payload built around Sony’s full-frame Exmor R CMOS sensor, delivering 61-megapixel stills at 9504 x 6336 resolution for aerial photography, mapping, and high-detail inspection work.
Paired with a Sony FE Mount 35mm f/2.8 lens and a 62-degree field of view, it gives operators the image quality and coverage angle needed for demanding aerial data collection. Designed for integration with the WISPR SkyScout Series, the payload connects via a quick-attach gimbal mount for fast field deployment.
When resolution and dynamic range are mission-critical, the ILX-LR1 delivers. The full-frame sensor supports ISO sensitivity from 100 to 32000, expandable to ISO 102400, with exposure compensation of +/- 5.0 EV in selectable 1/3 or 1/2 EV steps. The mechanical shutter covers 1/4000 to 30 seconds while the electronic shutter extends to 1/8000, giving operators precise control across a wide range of lighting conditions. Video capture tops out at 4K at 59.94fps in XAVC S or XAVC HS formats, with 1080P available at up to 119.88fps for high-frame-rate applications.
