Balko is expanding its Connectiv offering with the integration of the RGB 128 MP camera module<\/strong>. This new option provides surveyors and geospatial professionals with a powerful tool to generate ultra-high-resolution imagery while maintaining the flexibility of the Connectiv system. Fully compatible with existing hardware and software, the RGB 128 MP brings new configurations and capabilities to organizations seeking efficiency and precision in data collection.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Phase One technology for unmatched image quality <\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
\n
\n

At the core of the RGB 128 MP is the Phase One P5 UAV 35 mm camera<\/strong>, a benchmark in aerial imaging. Its 128-megapixel medium-format sensor delivers millimetric\u00a0pixel size images with a lens resolution of 13,468 \u00d7 9,564 per pixel<\/strong>, ensuring that even the smallest features are captured with survey-grade precision.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

This 35 mm lens field of view of 66\u00b0 on the long side and 49\u00b0 on the short side<\/strong> allows each image to cover a wide swath of terrain, reducing the number of flight lines required for complete coverage. This directly improves operational efficiency, enabling users to survey larger areas in fewer flights and with lower costs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The combination of the RGB 128 MP\u2019s high resolution, wide field of view, and an impressive up to 1\/16,000 sec shutter speed<\/strong> enables operators to fly both higher and faster while maintaining survey-grade image quality. For example, with this high-resolution inspection module, flights at 250 m AGL and speeds of up to 100 km\/h still deliver a ground sample distance (GSD) of 2.46 cm with motion blur under 5 mm. This capability significantly increases productivity by reducing flight times and maximizing coverage, all while ensuring that image sharpness and detail remain uncompromised. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

A dynamic range of 80 dB<\/strong> ensures that both highlights and shadows are recorded faithfully, which is especially critical in challenging conditions such as urban corridors, steep terrain, or forested environments. The minimum focusing range of 60 m to infinity<\/strong> guarantees sharp, distortion-free images across typical UAV altitudes, providing consistency and reliability in data capture. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Hardware integration: unlocking new configurations with LiDAR and INS modules <\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
\n

The strength of the RGB 128 MP lies not only in its image quality but also in how seamlessly it integrates into the Connectiv hardware ecosystem<\/a>. Combined with Balko\u2019s LiDAR modules and high-precision INS, it enables powerful hybrid payloads.\u00a0For instance:\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
