Freefly Ventus OGI Payload

$99,485.00

The Sierra-Olympia Ventus OGI is a professional airborne Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) payload engineered to visualize hydrocarbon gas leaks from the air with high sensitivity and precision. Built around a cooled 640 × 512 mid-wave infrared (MWIR) detector, the Ventus OGI detects gases such as methane, propane, butane, benzene, and other volatile hydrocarbons commonly targeted in LDAR (Leak Detection and Repair) workflows. Its advanced Gas Enhancement Mode (GEM) improves plume visibility by colorizing hydrocarbon emissions in real time, enabling inspectors to quickly identify and localize leaks.

 

Designed for seamless integration with the Freefly Astro platform, the Ventus OGI mounts via the Freefly Smart Dovetail system and provides stable, high-quality imagery for field inspections. The payload is built for professional applications requiring regulatory-grade performance and is approved for use under U.S. EPA OOOOa, OOOOb, OOOOc, and Appendix K optical gas imaging standards. With its compact form factor and high-performance cooled sensor, the Ventus OGI offers a reliable, field-ready airborne solution for oil & gas facilities, pipeline networks, chemical plants, and utility inspections.
