Sony ILX-LR1 with TOPODRONE LR1 PPK M400/M350 Kit

Sony ILX-LR1 with TOPODRONE LR1 PPK M400/M350 Kit

The Sony ILX-LR1 with TOPODRONE LR1 PPK M400/M350 Kit is a high-precision aerial surveying solution that combines a full-frame industrial camera with an integrated PPK GNSS system for accurate georeferencing without RTK.

Designed for professional UAV photogrammetry and mapping workflows, the system integrates seamlessly with DJI Matrice platforms via X-Port, ensuring a stable, efficient and fully controlled data acquisition process.

Key Features

• Integrated Sony ILX-LR1 (61 MP full-frame, mechanical shutter)
• TOPODRONE LR1 PPK GNSS receiver with centimetre-level accuracy
• 3–5 cm accuracy without RTK using PPK workflows
• Full integration with DJI Matrice 400 / 350 via X-Port
• Camera control from the remote controller (trigger, exposure, settings)
• Integrated GNSS receiver (1408 channels, 20 Hz logging rate)
• Multi-constellation support: GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, SBAS, QZSS
• GNSS data logging to microSD for post-processing
• Built-in Linux-based control unit with DJI PSDK support
• Supports dual-payload operation via the DJI Dual Gimbal Connector, enabling parallel data acquisition within a single flight

Sony ILX-LR1 Camera

The system is based on the Sony ILX-LR1, a lightweight industrial camera optimised for UAV applications.

• 61 MP full-frame Exmor R CMOS sensor;
• BIONZ XR image processor;
• Mechanical shutter for distortion-free aerial capture;
• UHD 4K video (up to 60 fps, H.265/H.264, XAVC);
• Support for Sony Camera Remote SDK;
• SD / SDHC / SDXC (UHS-II compatible);
• Interfaces: USB-C and Micro-HDMI;
• Terminal for power supply and remote control;
• Compact and lightweight body for UAV integration.

The high-resolution sensor delivers excellent detail, dynamic range and low noise, enabling precise mapping and inspection results.

Supported Lenses

The system supports Sony E-mount full-frame lenses that meet payload constraints in terms of weight and dimensions.

Recommended Lenses

• Sony FE 24mm f/2.8 G (SEL24F28G);
• Sony FE 28mm f/2.0 (SEL28F20);
• Sonnar FE 35mm f/2.8 ZA (SEL35F28Z);
• Sony FE 40mm f/2.5 G (SEL40F25G);
• Sony FE 50mm f/2.5 G (SEL50F25G).
• Sigma 17mm f/4.0 DG – increased weight and dimensions;

Compatible (with limitations)

• Sony FE 16mm f/1.8 G (SEL16F18G) – increased weight and front extension;
• Sonnar FE 55mm f/1.8 ZA (SEL55F18Z) – longer form factor;

Multispectral Lenses

• Agrowing Quad 25mm;
• Agrowing Quad 55mm;
• Agrowing Sextuple 22mm.

Other Sony E-mount full-frame lenses may be used provided that their weight and physical dimensions do not exceed system limitations. Use of heavier or longer lenses may affect gimbal balance, flight stability and data acquisition accuracy.
