Upgrade your drone pictures and videos with Sony’s advanced imaging technology, leveraging the ILX-LR1's 61.0 effective megapixel full-frame image sensor and interchangeable E-mount precision lenses. This combination provides more resolution, allowing you to capture details that would be invisible with conventional drone cameras.
Lightweight and Versatile Design
The ILX-LR1 is significantly lighter than conventional Alpha cameras, making it ideal for inspection, investigation, surveying, and mapping. It's slim and versatile form factor, devoid of a viewfinder and external controls, suits various industrial applications.
High-Resolution Sensor for Precision
Supporting the Sony Camera Remote SDK, the ILX-LR1 offers direct and responsive access to the camera’s menus and functions from your software applications. The 1.38 in full-frame back-illuminated Exmor R™ CMOS image sensor, with approximately 61.0 million effective pixels, ensures extraordinary sensitivity, resolution, and dynamic range. Operating in real-time, the advanced BIONZ XR™ image processing engine delivers high-quality stills and movies with low noise.
Remote Operations Made Easy
The ILX-LR1 is designed for remote operations, featuring a lightweight and compact design that extends flight times and fits into smaller drones. With a 3fps continuous shooting capability, it's perfect for the rapid completion of high-altitude shooting jobs. The camera's Power and Control Terminal facilitates low-latency data control for remote applications.
Seamless Integration with Bespoke Applications
Integration with bespoke applications is seamless through the dedicated SDK, allowing users to control menus and functions remotely. The ILX-LR1 accepts DC power for extended operation without battery changes, and its construction is optimized for easy mounting with multiple screw mounts on each surface.
Versatile Lens Options
The ILX-LR1's interchangeable lens capability, compatible with a wide range of E-mount lenses, enhances its versatility. The camera captures high-resolution, low-noise, and wide dynamic range images, revealing fine details during inspection and investigation. Its continuous shooting capability, choice of E-mount lenses, and compact design make it ideal for mapping and high-altitude shooting.
Compact and Adaptable Design
The ILX-LR1 is a lightweight and compact interchangeable lens camera, weighing approximately 0.53 lbs without a monitor, viewfinder, or battery. Its small size and functionality make it suitable for various industrial applications, with secure mounting options on any of its six sides.
Seamless Industrial Integration
Designed for easy integration with industrial applications, the ILX-LR1's compact, box-shaped structure with screw holes and mounting options facilitates attachment to drones, industrial machines, robots, and submersibles. The USB Type-C and HDMI Micro (Type D) ports on the rear make installation straightforward.
Remote Control and Stability
The Sony Camera Remote SDK empowers remote users to access and control the ILX-LR1's menus and functions from their software applications. Integration of an API allows for remote control of camera settings, shutter release, live view monitoring, and more. Version 1.11 enhances manual focus capabilities, enabling reproducible and stable shooting while preventing unintended operation errors with the lock switch.
