Micasense RedEdge MX NDVI Camera
The rugged, built-to-last, professional multispectral sensor for agricultural drone mapping. The Micasense RedEdge MX is now ready to integrate with DJI SkyPort enabled drones for $11,100.
- Five narrow band multispectral sensors.
- Capture plant health images and RGB (color) images in one flight.
- High image resolution; 8 cm/pixel at 400 ft (120 m).
- Single SD card stores all images with geotags.
- DLS 2 with embedded GPS for easier integration, enhanced light calibration
The new Micasense RedEdge MX captures not just the spectral bands required for basic crop health indexes, but also those that generate analytics that are anything but basic. With its low weight, low power requirement, and multiple integration options, the RedEdge MX is one of the most flexible solutions on the market — now in a smaller size and at a lower cost.
The Micasense RedEdge MX is a reliable, accurate, high-precision sensor.
Flight time is important. With the Micasense RedEdge-MX, you can fly a 160-acre field (at 400 ft AGL, 70% overlap) in 27 minutes! Choose between various data processing platforms to analyse the raw data collected by the Micasense RedEdge-MX.
The MicaSense RedEdge MX is an advanced, lightweight, multispectral camera optimized for use in small unmanned aircraft systems, and available for use on manned aircraft as well. RedEdge™ provides accurate multi-band data for agricultural remote sensing applications.
Features
- Simultaneously capture of five discrete spectral bands optimized for crop health data gathering.
- Fly fast – we can keep up! All bands are captures once per second enables faster flight speeds and lower altitude captures.
- Distortion-free – global shutter design creates distortion-free images on every platform.
- Single card – tired of juggling multiple cards? With RedEdge™, one SD card stores all images and data for easy data transfer.
- Metadata included – all image files are time-stamped and geo-tagged, no third party tools or autopilot logs required.
- Fully calibrated – leave your integrating sphere at home, we have you covered. Every camera comes fully calibrated for precise, repeatable measurements every time.
- Stand-alone – with external GPS connections and self-triggering capability, easily collect geo-tagged data without any connections to the host vehicle.
- Data at your fingertips – With Wi-Fi built in, preview images and change settings from your phone, tablet, and computer.
- Fully integrated – our convenient ethernet, serial, and Wi-Fi host interfaces allow tight integration with any platform.
- No moving parts – solid-state design means nothing to break on those dusty days or the occasional harsh landing.

FLIR VUE PRO R
With FLIR Vue Pro R you get the thermal camera you need for sUAS operations without having to pay for functionality you’ll never use.
Designed for professional use, the FLIR Vue Pro is more than a thermal camera, it is a thermal measurement instrument and data recorder that adds tremendous value to your sUAS operations and services.
- ON-BOARD RECORDING Vue Pro records digital video and still imagery to a removable micro-SD card so you won’t lose any of your data to transmission loss.
- MAVLINK INTEGRATION & PWM CONTROLS In addition to MAVLink compatibility for image geo-tagging, the Accessory Port lets you control camera functions in flight by integrating with your drone’s control system.
- EASY TO CONFIGURE Easy configuration with the FLIR UAS app lets pilots set color palettes, image optimization features, configure PWM inputs without lugging a computer to the field.
The FLIR Vue Pro APP is the primary control interface available for the Vue Pro camera. It is compatible with many mobile devices equipped with Bluetooth LE running iOS 8.0 or later and
Android V 4.3 or above.
Detect with thermal precision
The Vue Pro detects and images long wave infrared radiation. Within the camera, this radiation is mapped (as determined by the Scene Preset selected) to a range of 255 colours. In a black and white
palette, this range is converted to shades of gray with 0 being totally black and 255 being totally white. Different palettes are available to change the appearance of the image. The most common selection is either White Hot (hotter objects appear brighter than cooler objects) or Black Hot (hotter objects appear darker than cooler objects).
Thermal Sensor Resolution Options:
- 640 x 512
- 336 x 256
Thermal Lens Options:
- 6.8 mm
- 9 mm
- 13 mm
- 19 mm
