The LR1 Payload is well suited for high-resolution mapping and imaging missions with the Freefly Astro. 

The LR1 Payload natively mounts to your Astro with the Freefly Smart Dovetail system.* This connection provides power and data communication from the camera to the the ground station controller (and LTE network) for camera controls (camera settings and shutter), gimbal control (tilt), and image preview. 

The payload is adjustable and expandable, and supports multiple lenses and for different applications, as well as expansion ports for add-on cameras, sensors, and power out. 

Each LR1 Payload includes a Freefly gimbal with a pre-installed 61MP Sony ILX-LR1, a 24mm lens, a USB drive to capture geo-tagged images, and a travel case with a custom foam insert. 

 Notes

  • The payload is tuned to work best on Astro with the Astro Isolator.
  • The LR1 Payload is not available without the camera/lens, nor is it practical or advised to disassemble the payload to use the camera for other purposes. 
  • This payload is DIU Blue approved. 
  • Operation of add-on modules attached to the LR1 require appropriate counterweight. 

*If you are buying this for an Astro you already have, and it doesn't have the Astro Isolator, you will need to purchase one in order to mount it to your Astro.
