Talking about aerial cameras...we've just announced a new 190MP one: http://industrial.phaseone.com/Aerial_Systems.aspx

Wow, looks like two 100mp sensors mounted vertically next to each other. Very cool!
Actually two totally separate cameras mounted vertically next to one another. There will be considerable separation of the sensors.
It will be interesting to see if they also market a slightly adjusted version of this set up (with more overlap between what the two cameras are imaging) as a stereoscopic solution.

Very much doubt, at the altitude (= camera to subject distance) involved, that the separation will be of any consequence whatever...

The sensors/ lenses are shifted to create a 10% overlap, hence 190MP, so it's not 2 separate cameras...see White Paper
Of course it is two separate cameras. Two lenses. Two sensors.
They may well be designed and packaged into a single unit, but it is pretty odd to claim otherwise. It no doubt does it’s job admirably. Why pretend it is something it isn’t?
Two RAW files too, I bet.
As a licensed pilot I would shoot from the open door of a 1956 Super Cub. When I was prospecting for new clients at a major resort, I told them I do aerial photography. They proceeded to ask, do you have a drone? Alas, drones are far less expensive and honestly, can get perspectives I couldn't safely do. Aerial photography is prevalent in many productions and unfortunately because now anyone can fly drones, aerial photography run the risk of being overused like HDR.

And there's a 3 sensor model as well, one of them being a NIR which uses a wider lens, to provide the same FOV as the other 2 put together.

Hi all—
Been silent for a while, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been busy. When I last posted I had then recently purchased an ex aerial survey Cessna 206 with a hole in the floor to pursue aerial photography on a serious basis. While I got some pictures I was happy with, I am a big guy and that plane was way too confining for my 6’5” 265 lb frame. So, sold the 206 and bought a Cessna Caravan with a cargo pod below the fuselage that seemed ideal to mount cameras, meaning no hole in the floor in the plane.
That was in July ’17. Very long story short, the FAA wants to have a say-so on almost ANY modifications to an airplane and after 7 months proposals, modifications and inspections I have an aerial camera platform I am pretty happy with.
The equipment specs: Phase Industrial IXU 1000 with 35LS shooting straight down mounted in a Kenyon Gyro. So as to avoid the noise generated with live view a Sony 4k video cam employed as a EVF replicating the FOV of the phase.
We have a flip-down window in in the cabin to shoot obliques. That is Rick Rose with his Hassy.
Some pictures of the project follow.
My favorite aerial subject of the moment, Canyonlands Green River.
Tank Farm, Central Valley, California
Salt Ponds, San Francisco Bay
Badwater, Death Valley

I think it is the road to Hearst Castle. In central Calif, in any case. Trying to get an simple GPS hooked to the Phase Industrial camera. That aerial mapping gear is overkill for what I'm doing.

Mitch,
I find myself having to live vicariously through your aerial photos as I have to rely on United / Delta etc. :thumbs:
Hardly MF but Sony RX1R:
