Phase One iXM

Medium-Format 100 MP & 50 MP Cameras for UAV Imaging

A breakthrough camera platform built on cutting-edge medium-format technology and engineered for UAV-based imaging missions. The iXM 100 MP and 50 MP cameras pair medium-format sensors with backside-illumination (BSI) for improved high-light sensitivity and dynamic range — fast, responsive, robust, and available with high-resolution lenses from 35 mm to 300 mm.

Why It Performs

Built for Precision Mapping & Inspection

Medium-format resolution, interchangeable optics, and smart capture automation in an industrial-grade body.

Medium-Format BSI Sensor

Backside-illumination technology lifts high-light sensitivity and dynamic range above conventional sensors — cleaner data in challenging light.

100 MP & 50 MP Options

Capture at 100 MP (11664×8750) or 50 MP (8280×6208), with an achromatic 100 MP variant for specialized imaging.

Interchangeable RSM Lenses

A range of industrial-grade aerial lenses from 35 mm to 300 mm on the Phase One RSM mount — built for tough use in harsh environments.

Smart Triggering & Geo-Tagging

Trigger by waypoint, fixed distance, or fixed time; geo-tag every image with location and gimbal position; dual remote controllers for pilot and camera operator.
