MicaSense Smart Dovetail Adapter Kit: Certified Sensor Mounting for IF800, IF1200, and Astro

The MicaSense Smart Dovetail Adapter Kit provides the mounting hardware needed to deploy RedEdge-P, Altum PT, or RedEdge-P Dual sensors on compatible aircraft, including a Smart Dovetail, nadir mount, and DLS mount. This kit includes mounting and integration hardware only, and the camera payload and aircraft are sold separately. It's certified to work exclusively with the Inspired Flight IF800 Tomcat, IF1200, and Freefly Astro platforms.

A stable, repeatable nadir-facing mount matters for multispectral mapping, where consistent sensor positioning directly affects data quality across a flight. The camera clicks securely into the dovetail cage and locks in place with a lever, and the kit works with any damping kit configuration, giving operators flexibility in how the full mounting system is set up.

Key Features and Benefits

  • Smart Dovetail mount: secures the sensor with a quick locking lever
  • Nadir mounting: positions the sensor for consistent downward facing capture
  • DLS mount included: supports optional downwelling light sensor installation
  • Certified compatibility: works exclusively with approved aircraft platforms
  • Damping kit flexibility: integrates with any compatible damping configuration
  • Repeatable positioning: maintains consistent geometry across mapping flights
  • Quick installation: streamlines setup for faster field readiness

Applications and Use Cases

  • Precision agriculture: monitors crop health across large growing areas
  • Multispectral mapping: captures detailed spectral data for analysis workflows
  • Environmental monitoring: tracks vegetation and land conditions over time
  • Research missions: supports academic and scientific data collection projects

Multispectral mapping accuracy depends on consistent sensor geometry from flight to flight, and this kit gives operators a repeatable way to mount and remove a MicaSense sensor without compromising that consistency. Its certified compatibility keeps the setup limited to platforms proven to work reliably with these sensors.

DSLRPros stocks the integration hardware that gets MicaSense sensors flying on compatible Inspired Flight and Freefly platforms. Our technicians can confirm your specific aircraft and sensor combination before you check out. Order the MicaSense Smart Dovetail Adapter Kit from DSLRPros today.

  • Compatible aircraft: Inspired Flight IF800 Tomcat, Inspired Flight IF1200, Freefly Astro
  • Compatible sensors: MicaSense RedEdge-P, Altum PT, RedEdge-P Dual
  • Mounting type: Smart Dovetail with quick-locking lever
  • Positioning: nadir (downward-facing) mount
  • Damping compatibility: works with any compatible damping kit configuration
  • DLS use: optional; DLS-based geotagging uses the DLS's own GPS, not the aircraft's GPS
  • Included hardware: mounting and integration components only (camera and aircraft sold separately)
  • Smart Dovetail
  • Nadir mounting solution
  • DLS (Downwelling Light Sensor) mount
Which aircraft is this kit compatible with?

This kit is certified to work only with the Inspired Flight IF800 Tomcat, IF1200, and Freefly Astro platforms. Confirm your specific aircraft with DSLRPros before ordering to ensure proper compatibility.

Does this kit include the MicaSense sensor?

No, this kit includes mounting and integration hardware only. The camera payload, whether RedEdge-P, Altum PT, or RedEdge-P Dual, is sold separately, as is the aircraft itself.

Do I need to use the DLS with this kit?

No, the DLS mount is included, but use of the Downwelling Light Sensor is optional for this configuration. Note that data captured using the DLS will be geotagged from the DLS's own GPS rather than the aircraft's GPS.

Does this kit work with any damping system?

Yes, this kit is compatible with any damping kit configuration, giving operators flexibility in how the full mounting and vibration isolation setup is assembled for their specific aircraft.
