The FreeFly Astro Mapping Payload is an advanced solution for professional-level aerial mapping. This payload comes equipped with a 61MP Sony Alpha 7R IVA camera paired with a 24mm lens, designed to deliver exceptional image quality for high-resolution mapping, inspection, and surveying tasks. The USB drive included allows for the capture of geo-tagged images, providing accurate and precise data for any mapping project.

This system also enables power and data communication between the camera and the ground station controller, allowing for remote camera control (settings and shutter), gimbal tilt adjustments, and image preview, all from a distance.

Please note, Smart Dovetail is not hotswap compatible, and to prevent damage to the Astro or the camera sensor, the aircraft must be powered off before attaching or removing the payload.
