Sony ILX-LR1 61MP 50mm: Full-Frame Aerial Imaging Payload With Extended Focal Length for the SkyScout Series

The Sony ILX-LR1 61MP 50mm brings the same full-frame Exmor R CMOS sensor performance as the ILX-LR1 35mm to a longer focal length configuration, purpose-built for enterprise aerial programs requiring tighter subject framing and increased standoff distance from the target area. Producing 61-megapixel output at 9504 x 6336 pixels through a Sony FE Mount 50mm lens, it gives fleet operators and program managers a high-resolution imaging option suited to inspection, reconnaissance, and detail-oriented survey work where wider coverage per pass is less critical than subject resolution. It integrates with the WISPR SkyScout Series via quick-attach gimbal mount for consistent, repeatable payload deployment across fleet operations.

The payload's imaging pipeline matches the full capability of the ILX-LR1 platform. ISO sensitivity ranges from 100 to 32000 natively, expandable to 102400 for low-light mission 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 range 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 across all flight profiles.

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

Both configurations share the same full-frame 61-megapixel Exmor R CMOS sensor, gimbal, and imaging pipeline. The distinction is the lens. The 35mm configuration provides a wider field of view suited to large-area mapping and survey coverage, while the 50mm delivers a longer focal length better suited to tighter subject framing, inspection, and missions where standoff distance and subject resolution are the priority over area coverage per pass.

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

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, with a maximum rotation speed of 180°/s across all three axes. The payload operates between 32°F and 122°F (0°C to 50°C), supporting sustained deployment across varied field environments.

What shutter system does the Sony ILX-LR1 61MP use?

The payload includes both mechanical and electronic shutters. The mechanical shutter covers 1/4000 to 30 seconds for still images, while the electronic shutter extends the range to 1/8000 to 30 seconds. For video capture, the shutter range runs from 1/8000 to 1 second. This dual system gives program managers the flexibility to optimize exposure settings across diverse mission environments.

What image and video output formats does the Sony ILX-LR1 61MP support?

Still images are captured in JPEG and RAW formats at 61 megapixels and 9504 x 6336 pixels. Video output supports XAVC S using MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 and XAVC HS using MPEG-H HEVC/H.265, with 4K recording at up to 59.94fps and 1080P at up to 119.88fps. Both PAL and NTSC are supported for multi-region program deployment.

How does the Sony ILX-LR1 61MP perform in low-light or variable lighting conditions?

The full-frame Exmor R CMOS sensor supports ISO sensitivity from 100 to 32000 natively, expandable to 102400 for low-light mission requirements. Exposure compensation of +/- 5.0 EV is available in selectable 1/3 or 1/2 EV steps, giving fleet operators precise control over image exposure across changing field conditions.

What drone platform is the Sony ILX-LR1 61MP designed for?

The Sony ILX-LR1 61MP is built for integration with the WISPR SkyScout Series. It connects via a quick-attach gimbal mount that interfaces directly with the SkyScout payload system, supporting fast installation and consistent deployment across multi-payload fleet configurations.
