A modified Sony A6000 camera is utilized on the HALO to provide RGB color images. All unnecessary parts of the camera have been removed to leave only the sensor body, a fixed focal prime lens, an external trigger for testing purposes, and a custom case much smaller than the original. The sensor is ideal for high resolution RGB mapping of landscapes due to the large APS-C sensor dimensions, mechanical shutter, 24.3MP resolution, and a mirrorless sensor shutter speed. These traits set the sensor apart from most RGB imaging platforms because although it is a similar size to typical drone cameras, it has a significantly higher resolution and is not reliant on a rolling shutter standard in many commercial UAV cameras.
