The MicaSense RedEdge-P with DJI SkyPort is a high-resolution multispectral sensor designed for professionals in agriculture, research, and environmental monitoring. With seamless DJI SkyPort integration, this payload simplifies deployment on DJI Matrice 200, 210, and 300 RTK series drones, delivering science-grade data without extra mounts or cables.
Equipped with five narrow-band imagers and a high-res panchromatic sensor, the RedEdge-P captures stunning pan-sharpened multispectral imagery. Whether you’re mapping crop stress, assessing plant health, or conducting field trials, this payload offers the reliability, speed, and resolution needed for confident decision-making.
Key Features of the MicaSense RedEdge-P
The MicaSense RedEdge-P with DJI SkyPort combines five narrowband multispectral sensors with a high-res panchromatic lens, enabling sharp, pan-sharpened imagery in a single pass. Built for seamless integration with DJI platforms, it delivers powerful data capture for precision agriculture, environmental monitoring, and advanced research.
- Pan-Sharpened Multispectral Imaging: Combines five narrowband channels with a 5.1 MP panchromatic sensor to create crisp, high-resolution multispectral outputs.
- DJI SkyPort Compatibility: Native plug-and-play support for DJI drones with SkyPort, eliminating the need for custom integration.
- High Capture Speed: Captures one image per second even at full resolution, ideal for large-scale surveys and repeatable research flights.
- Global Shutter on All Bands: Ensures distortion-free imaging, even during fast flights or windy conditions.
- Standard Multispectral Bands: Blue, green, red, red edge, and near-infrared bands enable calculation of indices like NDVI, NDRE, and more.
-
Integrated Metadata and Calibration Tools: Supports radiometric calibration and includes GPS and IMU data for precision geotagging.
