Sony is delighted to be returning for the consecutive second year to INTERGEO, Stuttgart, 24-26^th September, one of the leading platforms for the geospatial industry. ​ ​ 

Sony and Gremsy, a leader in gimbal technology, will be demonstrating the latest addition to their line ups aimed at plug and play solutions for drone users and manufacturers: the Pixy LR S-Port gimbal, developed for a direct integration with Sony’s dedicated drone camera, the ILX-LR1, brings agility, reliability and lightness to any drone payload to further optimize drone operation in terms of flight time versus data capture and data availability for processing. ​ ​ 

Gremsy are one the most established gimbal manufacturers in the market, and close collaboration between Sony and Gremsy for the past two years has led to the development of all-in-one solutions for different use cases and different drone platforms. These solutions are seamlessly integrated, lightweight and with a compact design, to optimize payload and environmental footprint. 

In the context of a growing need for high-quality imaging from professional and commercial drone users, Sony developed the ILX-LR1 camera following partner and market requests, bringing Sony imaging technology to the market in a light form factor and dedicated features. For the Sony ILX-LR1 camera, Gremsy developed a gimbal, the PIXY LR (Standard version) with full customization capabilities specialized for professional drone makers and a Pixy LR S-Port, designed for users who want a plug-and-play solution that facilitates the payload-swift process for easy integration with existing drone workflows. Earlier this summer, the PIXY MR gimbal was released, expanding ILX-LR1 gimbal possibilities to major drone platforms. The solution supports all compatible Pilot, camera, and gimbal control functions and offers a variety of lenses for excellent images. 

The existing Pixy-LR, Pixy-LR S-Port and Pixy MR serve both drone professionals and more amateur end-users. ​ 

The Sony ILX-LR1 is built around a 61 Megapixel back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS imaging sensor and Sony's exclusive BIONZ XR processors, which can deliver images continuously at up to three frames per second for an extended period and 8 fps in burst if required. The camera body is 74 x 100 x 42.5mm in size and 243g, with screw mounts front, back, side, top, and bottom for fitting to different frames (as well as a standard UNC 1/4in tripod mount for ground operation or presetting in the lab). ​ ​ 

 Sony will be exhibiting in Hall 3, Stand D3.008.
