MicaSense RedEdge-P with DJI SkyPort Kit: Scalable multispectral sensing with SkyPort integration for DJI enterprise UAVs
The MicaSense RedEdge-P with DJI SkyPort Kit is an enterprise-ready multispectral imaging bundle built for DJI Matrice 300 RTK and Matrice 350 RTK aircraft. It pairs the RedEdge-P modular multispectral camera with a dedicated SkyPort adapter, enabling secure, direct aircraft integration. Designed for repeatable surveys and advanced spectral analysis, the system delivers synchronized multispectral, panchromatic, and RGB imagery with strong radiometric consistency, supporting professional agriculture, environmental monitoring, and research missions at scale.
Multispectral system design and synchronized capture
- Multispectral resolution: 1456 × 1088 pixels per band
- Panchromatic resolution: 2464 × 2056 pixels output
- RGB channel: 5.1 MP global shutter imaging
- Five base spectral bands included
- Expandable architecture: Pair sensors for up to ten bands
- Narrowband optics: Optimized for vegetation analysis accuracy
- Synchronized capture across all channels
- CFexpress media for high-speed data storage
Spatial performance for large-area surveys
RedEdge-P provides efficient spatial coverage while preserving spectral integrity. At 120 m AGL, multispectral imagery delivers approximately 7.7 cm per pixel resolution, with panchromatic imagery at approximately 3.98 cm per pixel. Pan-sharpened outputs can approach 2 cm per pixel with appropriate workflows.
This balance supports large-area agricultural surveys, environmental mapping, and vegetation analysis while maintaining manageable flight times and data volumes.
Radiometric stability across changing conditions
RedEdge-P is designed to maintain radiometric consistency across varying illumination environments. Integration with the Downwelling Light Sensor 2 and calibration reflectance panels allows datasets to be normalized during processing. This capability supports reliable comparison across dates, seasons, and sites, making the system well-suited for time-series analysis, machine learning workflows, and research programs that depend on consistent spectral outputs.
