MicaSense Altum PT + Skyport Kit: Complete Multispectral, Panchromatic, and Thermal Payload
This bundle combines the MicaSense Altum PT sensor and the Altum PT Skyport Kit, delivering synchronized multispectral, panchromatic, and thermal imaging in one DJI-ready payload. Designed for precision agriculture, environmental monitoring, and advanced research, it mounts directly to DJI SkyPort-enabled drones like the Matrice 300 and 350 RTK. With pan-sharpened multispectral data at 2.49 cm GSD and thermal imagery at 33.5 cm GSD (120 m altitude), the system provides high-resolution, radiometrically consistent datasets in a single efficient flight.
High-Resolution Data with Seamless SkyPort Integration
The Altum PT captures five discrete multispectral bands, a 12 MP panchromatic imager, and a calibrated thermal sensor in every shot. The Skyport Kit provides the direct mechanical and electrical interface with DJI enterprise platforms, enabling plug-and-play operation without third-party mounts or wiring. With up to two captures per second, global shutter imaging, and CFexpress storage, the system supports rapid survey missions while preserving pixel-level alignment across all modalities.
Built for Reliability and Consistency
Rated IP4X for dust protection and operating across 7.0-25.2 V with a continuous draw of ~10 W, the Altum PT is engineered for rugged field use. Flexible connectivity options include GPIO, Ethernet, serial, and HTTP API, ensuring easy integration. Radiometric calibration tools-the DLS 2 light sensor and CRP2 reflectance panel-deliver consistent results across seasons and conditions. Together, the sensor and Skyport Kit form a robust, DJI-native solution for advanced aerial mapping and research.
