Sony ILX-LR1 61MP 35mm With 200m Laser Rangefinder: Full-Frame Imaging and Real-Time Distance Measurement for the SkyScout Series

The Sony ILX-LR1 61MP 35mm with 200m Laser Rangefinder pairs the full-frame imaging capability of the ILX-LR1 platform with an integrated laser rangefinder, giving field operators a single payload for high-resolution aerial photography and real-time distance measurement on the WISPR SkyScout Series. Built around Sony's 61-megapixel Exmor R CMOS sensor and a Sony FE Mount 35mm f/2.8 lens with a 62-degree field of view, it captures 9504 x 6336 pixel stills suited to mapping, inspection, and survey work. The integrated rangefinder extends the payload's operational utility by providing accurate ground distance data up to 200m (656 ft) directly from the air.

The ILX-LR1 imaging platform is unchanged from the base 35mm configuration. 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 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 and rangefinder measurements stable throughout flight.

What drone platform is the Sony ILX-LR1 61MP payload compatible with?

The Sony ILX-LR1 61MP is designed for use with the WISPR SkyScout Series. It connects via a quick-attach gimbal mount that interfaces directly with the SkyScout payload system, allowing for fast and secure installation without tools in the field.

What is the image resolution and format output of the Sony ILX-LR1 61MP?

The payload captures stills at 61 megapixels with an image size of 9504 x 6336 pixels. Output formats include JPEG and RAW. RAW capture is particularly useful for photogrammetry, survey, and inspection workflows where full uncompressed sensor data is required for accurate post-processing.

What video capabilities does the Sony ILX-LR1 61MP offer?

The payload records video at up to 4K at 59.94fps and 1080P at up to 119.88fps. Supported formats include XAVC S using MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 and XAVC HS using MPEG-H HEVC/H.265. Both PAL and NTSC are supported, making the payload suitable for operators in multiple regions.

What shutter options does the Sony ILX-LR1 61MP support?

The payload includes both a mechanical shutter and an electronic shutter. The mechanical shutter covers a range of 1/4000 to 30 seconds, while the electronic shutter extends the range to 1/8000 to 30 seconds. For video, the shutter range is 1/8000 to 1 second. This flexibility allows operators to adapt to varied lighting environments without compromising image quality.

What are the gimbal specifications for the Sony ILX-LR1 61MP payload?

The payload uses a 3-axis stabilized gimbal with an angular vibration range of ±0.02°. Controlled rotation ranges are ±320° on the pan axis, +40° to -120° on the tilt axis, and ±40° on the roll axis. Maximum controlled rotation speed is 180°/s across all three axes. The payload operates between 32°F and 122°F (0°C to 50°C).

What does the integrated 200m laser rangefinder add to this payload configuration?

The laser rangefinder provides real-time distance measurement from the air up to 200m (656 ft). This adds a ground distance data layer to the payload's imaging capability, improving situational awareness during inspection, infrastructure survey, and mapping missions. Operators can confirm standoff distance and subject proximity without additional ground-based tools.
