Unlock greater insight with the MicaSense RedEdge-P Dual Multispectral Kit w/ Skyport
The MicaSense RedEdge-P Dual with Skyport is an advanced aerial imaging solution engineered for vegetation analysis, weed detection, environmental studies, conservation initiatives, and aquatic plant monitoring.
Key Features
This dual-sensor package combines the trusted RedEdge-P camera with the new RedEdge-P Blue, delivering high-resolution multispectral imaging and RGB composites in one flexible system with standout features such as:
10 multispectral bands
- This dual-camera setup offers enhanced spatial resolution, aligning with but improving upon satellite platforms like Landsat 8 and Sentinel-2.
Panchromatic resolution boost
- Capture data with 2 cm / 0.8 in per pixel resolution when flying at 60 m / 200 ft altitude.
- This level of clarity helps identify subtle crop stress and emerging problems early, leading to smarter interventions.
Coastal blue channel
- Specifically tuned to analyze aquatic vegetation and detect weeds in shallow water zones.
Precision narrowband sensing
- Narrow spectral bands detect minute changes in plant health, providing deeper insight into vegetation status.
- As a true narrow-band sensor, the RedEdge-P Dual captures the most meaningful parts of the spectral curve for data accuracy.
Dual calibration system
- Equipped with a DLS (Downwelling Light Sensor) and CRP (Calibrated Reflectance Panel) for optimal calibration across varied light conditions.
- This ensures accurate, repeatable data for time-lapse analysis and seasonal comparisons.
Global shutter system
- All 10 lenses feature a global shutter, delivering crisp, undistorted images even in vibration-prone flight conditions.
Capture up to 3 images per second
- The high-speed 128 GB CFexpress card supports rapid image acquisition and quick card swaps between missions.
Synchronized multi-band capture
- Collect data across all 10 bands in unison with automatic capture triggering and image geotagging — saving time in flight and during processing.
Enhanced Integration with DJI Skyport
With built-in DJI Skyport compatibility, the RedEdge-P Dual can be mounted quickly to compatible DJI drones like the Matrice 300 RTK. This seamless hardware integration offers:
- Instant deployment: No additional cables or adapters needed — just mount and fly.
- DJI ecosystem compatibility: Communicates natively with DJI platforms for smooth mission execution.
- Power and data via one interface: Skyport ensures reliable connection and uninterrupted data transfer mid-flight.
- Operational efficiency: Reduce prep time and increase productivity with fast setup and simplified workflows.
This setup is perfect for professionals seeking dependable aerial mapping and analysis tools within the DJI enterprise environment.
Streamlined Workflow for Better Results
With two cameras and a single unified workflow, you gain efficiency without complexity.
Satellite and drone synergy
The sensor’s spectral bands are designed to align with satellite data (like Landsat 8 and Sentinel-2) but at a much finer resolution of 2 cm / 0.8 in per pixel, allowing use of familiar indices with higher accuracy.
Track change over time
The included CRP and DLS modules deliver consistent, calibrated data in any lighting conditions — enabling trustworthy time-series analysis over weeks, months, or seasons.
Supports machine learning applications
The panchromatic band enables ultra-detailed RGB and multispectral outputs, ideal for AI-powered use cases like early plant counting or disease detection.
Broad software compatibility
Fully compatible with DJI Matrice 300 RTK and open APIs, this system integrates easily with third-party tools like Measure Ground Control and other planning/processing software.
See beyond visible
By capturing all bands at once, the RedEdge-P Dual produces layered outputs like RGB, NDVI, NDRE, OSAVI, CIR, DSM, and more — revealing plant and terrain insights invisible to standard imaging.
Manufactured in the USA under NDAA compliance, RedEdge-P sensors are trusted globally by academic institutions, governments, and commercial operators since 2014.
