camera for drones iXM-100 Phase One drone camera

iXM-100

The most versatile geospatial camera

Cutting-edge medium format technology engineered for UAV-based imaging missions. The iXM 100MP camera incorporates medium format sensors with backside illumination (BSI) technology for improved high-light sensitivity and dynamic range. Phase One iXM cameras are fast, highly responsive, and robust and are available with a range of high-resolution lenses from 35mm to 300mm. The iXM cameras are easily integrated into your preferred platform for diverse inspection and mapping applications.

 

RSM lenses for iXM cameras

Five Phase One RSM lenses, with focal lengths ranging from 35mm to 300mm AF, were specifically created to fit the pixel and sensor size of the iXM cameras, while maintaining sharpness across the image. The lenses have high optical resolution, offering new uses for both inspection and mapping applications. The lenses’ integrated leaf shutter offers high capture speed for an array of flight conditions.
