Description

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.

Core features

  • 61MP full-frame sensor captures ultra-detailed aerial still imagery
  • BIONZ XR processor delivers low-noise performance and wide dynamic range
  • Sony E-mount supports interchangeable professional full-frame lenses
  • UHD 4K video recording supports detailed inspection documentation workflows
  • Mechanical and electronic shutters enable precise exposure control
  • ISO range from 100–32000 adapts to varying daylight conditions
  • Lightweight 243 g payload preserves IF800 flight efficiency
  • External DC power input supports extended mission durations

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.

Operational advantages on the IF800 platform

Weighing approximately 243 g (8.6 oz), the ILX-LR1 complements the IF800 without significantly impacting payload margins or endurance. Internal UHD 4K recording up to 59.94 fps supports detailed visual documentation, while micro-HDMI output enables real-time monitoring or external recording.

Sony’s Camera Remote SDK allows full remote control of camera settings, shutter, and live view, enabling synchronized aerial workflows. External DC power eliminates battery changes, improving efficiency during extended mapping and inspection missions.
