The Sony ILX-LR1 is a 61MP full-frame industrial interchangeable-lens camera for drone mapping, infrastructure inspection, and machine vision integration. Features a 35mm Exmor R CMOS sensor (same as Sony Alpha 7R IV), Sony E-mount, GigE Vision connectivity, PoE+ power, 4K 30p video, and ~243g body weight. Controlled via Sony SDK. SKU: LR1-PXYMR-1.

61MP Full-Frame Exmor R. Industrial Connectivity. 243g.
The Sony ILX-LR1 delivers the imaging performance of Sony’s best full-frame sensor in a form factor built for integration, not handling. The 61MP 35mm Exmor R CMOS sensor captures stills at full resolution and 4K 30p video with Sony’s industry-leading dynamic range and detail. GigE Vision over LAN provides reliable, standardized industrial communication, while PoE+ eliminates the need for a separate power supply — simplifying drone and robotic integration without compromising image quality.

Aerial Mapping at Scale. At 61MP, the ILX-LR1 enables drones to cover large areas from high altitudes while maintaining the ground sampling distance required for survey-grade 2D maps and 3D models — making it the imaging core of choice for construction, agriculture, mining, and geospatial mapping operations.

GigE Vision & PoE+ Industrial Integration. GigE Vision over RJ-45 LAN is the industry standard for reliable, long-distance industrial camera communication — enabling seamless integration into drone payloads, robotic systems, and automated imaging platforms. PoE+ delivers power and data over a single cable, simplifying system architecture.

Sony E-Mount. Full Lens Ecosystem. The Sony E-mount gives the ILX-LR1 access to one of the largest and highest-quality interchangeable lens ecosystems available — enabling system integrators to select the optimal focal length and optical performance for any aerial or industrial imaging application.

61MP Full-Frame Precision. Built for Industrial Integration.

The Sony ILX-LR1 is a 61-megapixel full-frame industrial interchangeable-lens camera engineered for integration into drones, robotics, and automated imaging systems. Combining the exceptional image quality of Sony’s 35mm full-frame Exmor R CMOS sensor — the same sensor found in the acclaimed Sony Alpha 7R IV — with a compact, lightweight modular form factor and standardized industrial connectivity, the ILX-LR1 is purpose-built for professional aerial mapping, infrastructure inspection, and machine vision applications.

At approximately 243g (body only), the ILX-LR1 delivers full-frame 61MP resolution and 4K 30p video in a package designed to be integrated, not held. Controlled entirely via GigE Vision over a LAN connection — with Power over Ethernet (PoE+) support — the ILX-LR1 is the imaging core for systems where resolution, reliability, and integration matter most.
