Nov 18, 2014 -- When altitude restrictions are imposed to you by air traffic control and you have to either fly lower or higher than usual, you typical oblique camera system 50mm/85mm will not cope. Lead Air has therefore developed a new high altitude Midas and two new low altitudes Midas.

      1) Midas 180 MP based on the Nikon D810 36MP with 135mm nadir lens and 180mm 45 degrees oblique lenses. This system allows you to collect 5 cm (2 inches) from approximately 5,000 feet AGL.

     2) Midas 180 MP based on the Nikon D810 36MP with 25mm nadir lens and 35mm 45 degrees oblique lenses. This system allows you to collect 5 cm (2 inches) from approximately 1,000 feet AGL.

     3) Midas 180 MP based on the Nikon D810 36MP with 35mm nadir lens and 50mm 45 degrees oblique lenses. This system allows you to collect 5 cm (2 inches) from approximately 1,200 feet AGL.

These systems are fully stabilized +/- 10 degrees in all directions and have +/- 30 degrees drift compensation. They fit any camera hole providing the diameter is at least 19 inch (48 cm).
