WISPR Sony LR1 (61MP) on Custom Gimbal 50mm Lens

Description

Sony ILX-LR1 61MP 50mm: Full-Frame 61-Megapixel Payload With Longer Focal Length for the SkyScout Series
The Sony ILX-LR1 61MP 50mm is a gimbal-mounted camera payload built on the same full-frame Exmor R CMOS sensor platform as the ILX-LR1 35mm, configured with a Sony FE Mount 50mm lens for operators who need tighter subject framing and greater standoff distance in their aerial imaging work. At 61 megapixels and 9504 x 6336 pixel output, it delivers the same survey-grade resolution in a lens configuration suited to inspection, reconnaissance, and detail-focused capture where a wider field of view would reduce subject clarity. It connects to the WISPR SkyScout Series via quick-attach gimbal mount for fast, reliable field deployment.
The ILX-LR1 61MP 50mm retains the full imaging capability of the platform. ISO sensitivity runs from 100 to 32000, expandable to 102400, with exposure compensation of +/- 5.0 EV in selectable 1/3 or 1/2 EV steps. The dual shutter system covers mechanical speeds from 1/4000 to 30 seconds and electronic speeds from 1/8000 to 30 seconds, giving operators precise control across varied lighting conditions. Video capture reaches 4K at 59.94fps in XAVC S or XAVC HS format, with 1080P available at up to 119.88fps. A 3-axis stabilized gimbal with ±0.02° angular vibration tolerance keeps imagery sharp throughout flight.
Sony ILX-LR1 61MP 50mm Core Features and Advantages
• Full-frame sensor: 1.38-inch Exmor R CMOS delivers 61-megapixel aerial image output.
