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

The MicaSense Smart Dovetail Adapter Kit gives operators a certified way to deploy RedEdge-P, Altum PT, or RedEdge-P Dual sensors on compatible aircraft, packaging a Smart Dovetail, nadir mount, and DLS mount into one integration solution. This kit includes mounting and integration hardware only, with the camera payload and aircraft sold separately. Certification is limited to the Inspired Flight IF800 Tomcat, IF1200, and Freefly Astro platforms.

Whether supporting a single mapping aircraft or standardizing multispectral sensor mounting across a broader platform lineup, consistent nadir positioning is what keeps flight-to-flight data comparable. The camera locks securely into the dovetail cage with a simple lever mechanism, and compatibility with any damping kit configuration means this integration adapts to different vibration isolation setups already in use.

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

Comparable data across missions depends on the sensor sitting in the same position every time, and this kit is built to deliver that consistency flight after flight. Certified compatibility narrows the setup to platforms already proven reliable with MicaSense sensors, reducing integration guesswork for teams scaling a mapping program.

Dronefly supports MicaSense integration across the Inspired Flight and Freefly platforms it carries, whether outfitting one aircraft or a growing mapping fleet.

  • DLS (Downwelling Light Sensor) mount
What aircraft does this kit work with?

This kit is certified exclusively for the Inspired Flight IF800 Tomcat, IF1200, and Freefly Astro platforms. Confirm your specific aircraft with Dronefly before ordering to verify compatibility.

Is the MicaSense sensor included with this kit?

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

Is the DLS required for this setup?

No, the DLS mount is included, but using the Downwelling Light Sensor is optional. Keep in mind that data captured with the DLS will be geotagged using the DLS's own GPS rather than the aircraft's GPS.

Will this kit work with my existing damping setup?

Yes, it's compatible with any damping kit configuration, so it can integrate into the vibration isolation setup you're already running on your aircraft.
