The RedEdge-MX is a rugged and precise multispectral camera for advanced agricultural analysis. This high-performance tool captures both the spectral bands required for crop health indices (green, red, red edge and near-infrared), a blue band for deeper insights into specific issues, plus composite RGB imagery.
Calibrated for Precise Measurements
The RedEdge-M by Micasense is a professional multispectral sensor camera that is specifically designed for agricultural operations. It can be attached to almost any drone and aids in spotting problems such as nutrient deficiencies and diseases in crops from high up in the air, thanks to its five built-in narrow spectral bands: red, green, blue, red, red edge, and near-infrared. It allows agricultural professionals to take accurate, repeatable measurements and collect other necessary data during each flight to come up with everything from basic plant health indexes to advanced analytics.
Multi-Layered Results
Results are presented in multiple layered outputs so you can easily compare them between months and seasons. These include the Chlorophyll Map for accurately measuring plant health and vigor, the Digital Surface Model (DSM) for evaluating surface properties and water flow, the popular NDVI layer for comparing the reflectance of the red band and the near-infrared band, and the RGB (color) images.
Easy & Flexible Integration
The RedEdge-M integrates into almost any drone and turns it into a reliable tool for agricultural productivity and success. It’s powerful, compact, and extremely lightweight at only 170 grams, which means the aircraft will not have any payload issues once the RedEdge-M is mounted.
With no moving parts, it is built to last for a long time—even in the harshest environments.
