Lens Options

The 65R utilizes custom designed lens to provide a high-quality optical path. Offered in two focal lengths, 27mm (58-degree HFOV) and 60mm (27-degree HFOV).
This diagram illustrates the difference in field of view (FOV) and ground sampling distance (GSD) between the 27mm and 60mm lens options. The 27mm lens, with its wider FOV, is ideal for large-area mapping and broad coverage applications, reducing the number of images needed per flight. The 60mm lens, with its narrower FOV and finer GSD, is best suited for high-detail imaging in infrastructure inspections, surveying, and precision measurements where accuracy at a distance is critical.
See How ALDOT Uses The 65R Sensor to Bring Airport Pavement Into Focus.
Aging pavement is one of the biggest challenges facing small regional airports. Agencies like ALDOT need a full view of runway conditions without shutting down operations or relying on partial inspections. These airports often operate with limited staff and tight scheduling windows, so minimizing disruption is essential.
