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.

1x Sony LR1 (61MP) on Custom Gimbal 50mm Lens for SkyScout Series

What is the difference between the Sony ILX-LR1 61MP 35mm and 50mm configurations?

Both configurations share the same full-frame 61-megapixel Exmor R CMOS sensor, gimbal, and imaging specs. The difference is the lens. The 35mm configuration provides a wider field of view suited to large-area mapping and survey coverage, while the 50mm configuration delivers a longer focal length better suited to tighter subject framing, close-range inspection, and missions requiring greater standoff distance from the subject.

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).
