Description
Standard RedEdge-MX Kit
RedEdge-MX is a professional multispectral sensor for agriculture. It captures both the spectral bands required for basic crop health indexes and additional bands to power further analytics. It gives you optimized GSD (resolution), a downwelling light sensor, a global shutter, RGB color images aligned with all bands, GigE Ethernet connectivity, removable WiFi attachments, and platform-agnostic data and integration. All in a compact size that allows it to be used with a wide variety of unmanned aircraft systems.
- Metal case for extreme durability
- DLS 2 for enhanced light calibration
- Captures five narrow spectral bands
- Generates plant heath indexes and RGB (color) images from one flight
- Designed for easy and flexible integration
- Calibrated for precise, repeatable measurements
- Operates in temperatures up to 60°C or 140°F
Includes:
- RedEdge-MX Sensor
- Mounting Plate with Quick Connector
- DLS 2 and the new CRP 2
- External flash drive, 128 GB, USB 3.0

The New Compact CRP 2
A new compact version of the Calibrated Reflectance Panel (CRP) with the same functionality, now in a smaller size and easier to carry!
The CRP 2 in conjunction with MicaSense sensors enables more accurate compensation for incident light conditions. It has known reflectance values across the visible and near-infrared light spectrum. Capture an image of the CRP 2 before and after each flight to provide an accurate representation of light conditions during the flight!
