LR1 Laser Range Finder Upgrade

The LR1 Laser Range Finder (LRF) Upgrade is a lightweight, user-installable distance sensor module designed specifically for the Freefly LR1 Payload. By adding real-time distance measurements to your aerial missions, this upgrade enhances situational awareness and improves data accuracy for infrastructure inspection, surveying, and energy asset monitoring workflows. Key Features Live Distance Readout: Once installed, the LRF provides a live preview of the distance readout directly within Auterion Mission Control (AMC) at a 5Hz update rate. Metadata Integration: When a photo is captured by the LR1 camera, the exact distance readout at that moment is automatically saved directly into the image's metadata, streamlining post-processing and photogrammetry workflows. Lightweight & Plug-and-Play: Weighing just 45 grams, it has a minimal impact on flight times. It mounts securely to the side of the LR1 payload using four screws and plugs directly into the existing expansion port. Powerful Sensor: Powered by an integrated Lightware SF20/C sensor, it provides highly accurate distance measurements up to 100 meters (at 70% reflectivity). Stackable Upgrades: Need thermal and distance data? The LRF upgrade can be used simultaneously with the LR1 Thermal Upgrade (utilizing the larger counterweight plate included in the Thermal kit).
