Hasselblad Unveils A5D Medium Format Aerial Cameras

June 4, 2015 By Eric Reagan

A5D-x3-1

Hasselblad’s new A5D series of aerial cameras are available with CCD sensors at 40MP (A5D-40) and 60MP (A5D-60), or with a 50MP CMOS sensor (A5D-50c). The new A5D range is designed with no moving internal parts, which will prevent unintentional movement from aircraft vibration. Special Hasselblad aerial lenses will also be available with locking mounts.

    How does the lack of internal parts prevent vibration from the aircraft to which it is attached?

    Or is this just a way of saying that there are no mechanical mechanisms (like a leaf or FP shutter) that might be adversely affected by the aircraft’s vibrations?

      Right Bob. Perhaps you said it better.

    Good to see that Hasselblad is back to what they do well. I hope that their reorganized ownership allows Hasselblad to remain serious and productive.
