Sony LR1 (61MP) 35mm lens with 200m Laser Rangefinder for SkyScout Series

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

The Sony ILX-LR1 61MP 35mm with 200m Laser Rangefinder brings together full-frame aerial imaging and real-time distance measurement in a single gimbal-mounted payload configuration for the WISPR SkyScout Series. The 61-megapixel Exmor R CMOS sensor produces 9504 x 6336 pixel output through a Sony FE Mount 35mm f/2.8 lens at a 62-degree field of view, delivering the resolution and coverage angle enterprise programs require for mapping, inspection, and survey operations. The integrated laser rangefinder extends that capability with aerial distance measurement up to 200m (656 ft), adding a positional data layer that strengthens mission output without requiring additional hardware in the field.

For fleet operators and program managers, the imaging pipeline matches the full ILX-LR1 platform specification. ISO sensitivity runs from 100 to 32000 natively, expandable to 102400 for low-light deployment requirements, with exposure compensation of +/- 5.0 EV in selectable 1/3 or 1/2 EV steps. A dual shutter system provides mechanical speeds from 1/4000 to 30 seconds and electronic speeds from 1/8000 to 30 seconds, covering the full spread of field lighting conditions. Video output reaches 4K at 59.94fps in XAVC S or XAVC HS format, with 1080P available at 119.88fps for high-frame-rate capture requirements. A 3-axis stabilized gimbal with ±0.02° angular vibration tolerance sustains image integrity and rangefinder stability across all flight profiles.
