With a 243 g camera body, the 61PRO delivers an exceptional balance of resolution and payload efficiency for professional UAV mapping, surveying, photogrammetry, utility inspection, and other high-detail aerial imaging applications.

Assembled in the USA

The Mapper 61PRO is assembled in the United States by UnmannedRC USA.

Our U.S. assembly process allows us to perform local assembly, inspection, configuration, and quality-control procedures before the camera is delivered to customers.

For U.S. customers, this also means access to local technical support and a direct U.S.-based source for product integration and service.

61MP Full-Frame Resolution

At the heart of the Mapper 61PRO is a 61MP Sony full-frame CMOS sensor measuring approximately 35.7 × 23.8 mm.

With 60.2MP maximum image resolution at 9504 × 6336 pixels, the 61PRO captures an exceptional level of image detail for professional mapping and inspection workflows.

The full-frame sensor provides a 1.0× focal length multiplier, allowing the camera to take full advantage of the optical characteristics of full-frame E-mount lenses.

This makes the 61PRO particularly well suited for applications where detailed imagery is essential, including:

• Professional aerial mapping

• High-resolution photogrammetry

• Orthomosaic generation

• 3D reconstruction

• Utility inspection

• Power-line inspection

• Infrastructure inspection

• Industrial inspection

• Construction surveying

• Large-area surveying

• Coastal and environmental surveying

• UAV research and development

Exceptional Dynamic Range & Low-Noise Performance

The Mapper 61PRO is designed to deliver excellent image quality in demanding aerial environments.

Its full-frame Sony CMOS sensor provides a combination of high resolution, wide dynamic range, and low image noise, helping preserve image detail across challenging lighting conditions.

With a maximum effective ISO of 3,344 and approximately 26-bit color depth, the camera provides significant imaging capability for professional aerial applications.

The sensor also uses no anti-aliasing filter, helping preserve fine image detail—an important advantage for high-resolution mapping and inspection workflows.

BIONZ X Image Processor

The 61PRO is equipped with the BIONZ X image processor, providing fast image processing and supporting the camera's high-resolution imaging and rapid continuous shooting capabilities.

Combined with the 61MP sensor, the processing system allows the camera to capture detailed aerial imagery while maintaining fast operational performance.

5 FPS Continuous Shooting

Despite its high 61MP resolution, the Surveyor 61PRO supports continuous shooting at up to:

5 Frames Per Second

This rapid capture capability makes the camera suitable for UAV mapping missions where the aircraft needs to maintain consistent image overlap while traveling along survey lines.

The combination of 61MP resolution + 5 FPS continuous shooting makes the 61PRO particularly powerful for large-area mapping and high-detail aerial inspection.

Professional PPK Integration

The Mapper 61PRO features a built-in Multi-Interface hot shoe output, providing an interface for professional PPK integration.

This allows the camera to be incorporated into advanced UAV mapping systems where precise camera positioning and image georeferencing are required.

The camera is also compatible with the Airpixel R3 system for geotagging and UAV mapping integration.

Airpixel R3 Compatibility

The Mapper 61PRO is compatible with Airpixel R3, providing integration capabilities for aerial mapping, geotagging, and UAV positioning workflows.

When combined with an appropriate UAV flight-control and positioning system, the 61PRO can become part of a complete professional mapping payload.

This makes it an excellent choice for operators who require high-resolution imagery combined with accurate positioning and automated mapping workflows.

Full-Frame Sony E-Mount

The Mapper 61PRO uses a Sony E-mount and is compatible with full-frame E-mount lenses.

This provides users with a wide range of lens options and allows the camera to be configured according to different flight altitudes, mapping requirements, field of view, and ground sampling distance.

The camera supports:

• Autofocus

• Manual focus

It can also be used with  Sony E-mount full-frame lenses, providing additional flexibility for specialized mapping and inspection applications.

Gimbal Compatibility

The Mapper 61PRO is compatible with the Gremsy Pixy S 3-Axis Camera Gimbal, providing stabilized camera movement for aerial imaging applications.

This flexibility allows the same camera platform to be integrated into different UAV architectures and payload configurations.

4K Video Capability

Although primarily designed as a professional aerial mapping and inspection camera, the Surveyor 61PRO also provides high-quality video capture.
