Cutting-Edge Imaging for Mapping and Modeling

Distortion-Free Imagery at Any Speed

Rolling shutters introduce motion artifacts in high-speed flight, distorting linear features like power lines and roads. The 65R's global shutter captures every pixel simultaneously, eliminating skew and ensuring precise geospatial accuracy.

Maximize Productivity

The global shutter, 3 FPS capture rate, real-time video, and gimbal stabilization enable quicker and longer flights without compromising data quality, meaning you can cover more ground significantly faster than any other camera on the market.

Ease of Use

Plug-and-play integration, time-of-capture geo-tagging, and ample internal storage reduce training requirements and streamline workflows.

65R data is supported in most major image processing platforms, which means the data is ready for image processing immediately after flight.

Optimized for High-Frequency Data Collection

Designed for thousands of captures per flight, the 65R excels in high-speed, high-volume applications like surveying, infrastructure inspection, and precision mapping — without risk of shutter degradation.

Exceptional Color Quality

Large sensor size and high-quality lens system capture rich details and accurate colors, ensuring controlled color quality without creative or artistic modes.

Live Video

Monitor real-time footage, ensuring optimal positioning to capture critical moments. This feature enhances situational awareness, enables instant decision-making, and facilitates adjustments mid-flight, leading to more precise and comprehensive data collection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Rolling shutters introduce motion artifacts in high-speed flight, distorting linear features like power lines and roads. The 65R's global shutter captures every pixel simultaneously, eliminating skew and ensuring precise geospatial accuracy. Unlike mechanical shutters, which degrade over time, the 65R's global shutter has no moving parts, ensuring consistent performance and a longer lifespan for UAV-based imaging. Designed for thousands of captures per flight, the 65R excels in high-speed, high-volume applications like surveying, infrastructure inspection, and precision mapping — without risk of shutter degradation.
With the 27mm lens at 120m AGL, the 65R achieves 1.4cm ground sample distance (GSD) — meaning each pixel represents 1.4cm of distance on the ground. With the 60mm lens at the same altitude, GSD tightens further.
The 65R is designed for integration with Harris Aerial's Carrier drone lineup including the H6 Electric, H6 Hybrid, H6 Hydrone, Hx8, Hx8 Tether, and H6HL. Contact the Harris Aerial team to confirm compatibility for your specific configuration and any multi-payload requirements.
The 65R outputs JPEG images compatible with all major photogrammetry platforms including Agisoft Metashape, Pix4Dmapper, DJI Terra, and others.
