MicaSense RedEdge-P Dual Multispectral Kit: Satellite-Matched 10-Band Precision for Enterprise Agriculture Programs

The MicaSense RedEdge-P Dual Multispectral Kit combines the RedEdge-P and RedEdge-P Blue into a synchronized dual-camera assembly that captures 10 narrowband multispectral channels and a 5.1MP panchromatic band in a single pass. Manufactured in the United States and NDAA compliant, it delivers pan-sharpened outputs at 2 cm per pixel at 60m AGL with spectral bands matched to Landsat 8 and Sentinel-2A satellites, enabling enterprise programs to correlate drone-collected indices directly with existing satellite datasets.

Key Features and Benefits

  • 10-band multispectral coverage: captures coastal blue through near-IR in one synchronized pass.
  • Pan-sharpened output: delivers 2 cm per pixel resolution at 60m AGL via panchromatic band.
  • Coastal blue band: monitors shallow water vegetation and identifies aquatic weeds at program scale.
  • Satellite-matched spectral bands: enables direct index correlation with Landsat 8 and Sentinel-2A data.
  • Dual radiometric calibration: DLS2 and calibration reflectance panel maintain consistency across deployments.
  • Global shutter design: all 10 lenses use global shutter for distortion-free capture across large survey areas.
  • 3 images per second: synchronized 10-band capture at 3 raw DNG frames per second.
  • Automatic geotagging: all 10 bands geotag automatically to streamline program-level post-processing.
  • NDAA compliant: manufactured in the U.S.A. for government and institutional program procurement.
  • Open data format: raw DNG output compatible with Pix4Dmapper for scalable post-processing pipelines.

At up to 3 raw DNG images per second with automatic synchronization and geotagging across all 10 bands, the RedEdge-P Dual is built for large-area coverage programs that require spectral depth, radiometric consistency, and data throughput in a single deployment. A dual radiometric calibration system using the included DLS2 downwelling light sensor and calibrated reflectance panel maintains output consistency across missions regardless of shifting illumination conditions.

The Spectral Depth That Program-Scale Analysis Requires

Five-band multispectral systems cover standard vegetation indices but leave programs without the spectral resolution needed for chlorophyll efficiency modeling, early-stage weed detection, or aquatic vegetation monitoring across large areas.

The RedEdge-P Dual addresses that gap with 10 narrowband channels, including dual red edge bands that isolate chlorophyll absorption detail a single red edge band averages out, and a coastal blue band that penetrates shallow water where standard blue channels reflect off the surface. Spectral bands are matched to Landsat 8 and Sentinel-2A, giving programs a direct bridge between drone-collected data and satellite indices already built into existing analytical pipelines.

For research institutions and enterprise agriculture programs running time-series analysis across seasons, the dual radiometric calibration system ensures that data collected in variable light remains comparable across mission dates, removing a persistent source of inconsistency in long-term monitoring programs.

What is the MicaSense RedEdge-P Dual and how does it differ from a single RedEdge-P?

The RedEdge-P Dual combines two cameras, the RedEdge-P and the RedEdge-P Blue, into a synchronized dual-camera assembly that captures 10 narrowband multispectral channels simultaneously. A single RedEdge-P captures five bands. The dual system adds five additional channels including a coastal blue band, additional red edge bands for chlorophyll analysis, and a second near-IR band, while also delivering a 5.1MP panchromatic channel for pan-sharpened outputs at 2 cm per pixel at 60m AGL.

What ground sample distance does the RedEdge-P Dual achieve at program-relevant altitudes?

At 120m (approximately 400 ft) AGL, the multispectral bands produce a ground sample distance of 7.7 cm per pixel and the panchromatic band produces 3.98 cm per pixel. With pan-sharpening applied in post-processing, the system achieves 2 cm per pixel at 60m AGL, supporting machine learning applications and high-resolution crop analysis that require both spectral depth and spatial precision.

How does the RedEdge-P Dual support satellite data correlation?

The RedEdge-P Dual's 10 spectral bands are matched to Landsat 8 and Sentinel-2A satellite bands, which operate at approximately 10m per pixel ground resolution. Flying at drone altitudes, the RedEdge-P Dual captures the same spectral indices at 2 cm per pixel pan-sharpened resolution, allowing programs to apply existing satellite-derived analytical models directly to drone-collected data without rebuilding index formulas.

How does dual radiometric calibration support long-term program consistency?

The system uses two calibration inputs simultaneously: the DLS2 downwelling light sensor measures ambient light throughout each flight, and the calibrated reflectance panel provides a known reference surface captured before and after each mission. Together these correct for changing illumination across flights and between mission dates, ensuring that reflectance data collected weeks or seasons apart remains directly comparable for time-series analysis.

Which drone platforms are compatible with the RedEdge-P Dual?

The RedEdge-P Dual is compatible with the DJI Matrice 300/350, Matrice 200, Matrice 600, and Inspire 2 series using included mounting hardware and integration cables. The Matrice 100 series requires a DJI Z30 adapter not provided by MicaSense. The dual camera configuration requires the included DLS2 and is not compatible with other RedEdge camera models.

What post-processing software supports the RedEdge-P Dual?

The RedEdge-P Dual outputs raw DNG files fully supported in Pix4Dmapper for dual 10-band processing workflows. Pan-sharpening is supported in Pix4Dfields version 1.11 and later. MicaSense sensors are automatically recognized in the Pix4Dmapper camera database, with dedicated dual camera processing guides available through the MicaSense knowledge base.

What is included in the RedEdge-P Dual Multispectral Kit?

The kit includes the RedEdge-P (Red camera), RedEdge-P Blue, CFexpress card, CFexpress card reader, hard carrying case, DLS2 downwelling light sensor, calibrated reflectance panel, USB WiFi dongle, start guide, lens cover, integration cables, and mounting hardware.
