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.

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 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 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 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).
