Overview

Sony ILX-LR1 61 MP Mapping Payload for Freefly Astro

The Sony ILX-LR1 Mapping Payload is an enterprise-grade aerial imaging system designed for precision mapping, surveying, and inspection missions. Integrating a 61 MP full-frame Exmor R sensor with a lightweight Sigma 24 mm f/3.5 lens, it captures ultra-high-resolution imagery optimized for photogrammetry, orthomosaics, and 3D data modeling.

Designed and assembled in the USA with NDAA-compliant components, the payload connects to the Freefly Astro and Astro Max via the Smart Dovetail interface — enabling plug-and-play integration with power, command, and data link in a single mount. At 970 g total system weight (including gimbal and lens), it maintains optimal Astro flight endurance of 28–34 minutes per mission.

Operators can trigger captures and monitor telemetry in real time from the Pilot Pro controller. The kit ships in a compact hard case with foam cutouts for additional lenses and accessories — a complete, ready-to-deploy mapping solution for industrial, government, and environmental applications.

61 MP Full-Frame Precision Imaging
The Sony ILX-LR1's 35.7 × 23.9 mm full-frame Exmor R sensor produces 9,504 × 6,336 pixel images with exceptional dynamic range and minimal noise. Paired with the Sigma 24 mm f/3.5 lens, it delivers consistent, distortion-free edge-to-edge sharpness — making it ideal for generating accurate orthomosaics, 3D point clouds, and high-fidelity inspection imagery from a single aerial pass.

Seamless Freefly Astro Integration

The payload connects to the Freefly Astro and Astro Max via the Smart Dovetail mount, providing a single-connection interface for power, command, and data link. Operators can trigger captures and monitor battery and telemetry data in real time from the Pilot Pro controller — no additional wiring or configuration required.

At 970 g total system weight (including gimbal and lens), the payload maintains typical Astro flight endurance of 28–34 minutes per mission.

NDAA-Compliant — Designed & Assembled in the USA

The ILX-LR1 Mapping Payload is built with NDAA-compliant components and assembled in the United States, making it suitable for government, defense, and enterprise operations with strict procurement requirements.

The kit ships in a compact hard case with foam cutouts for the payload, additional lenses, and accessories — providing a secure, ready-to-deploy solution for field operations.
