The RedEdge-M has a more compact design with built-to-last materials to make it a rugged agricultural tool. But besides the improved design, the actual performance is even better improved
A powerful device at a highly competitive price
There’s no need to compromise, MicaSense delivers the data you need.
1. Chlorophyll Map
The red edge spectral band is the star here, working together with the other 4 bands to give you early and accurate insight of not only plant vigor but also the actual plant health.
2. NDVI Layer
This commonly known index compares the reflectance of the red band with that of the near-infrared band. However, this index alone provides limited information.
3. Digital Surface Model
A DSM is a very useful tool in any agronomist’s arsenal, it evaluates the waterflow and surface properties. Creating a chance to better allocate your resources, prematurely and more cost-effectively.
4. RGB Image
RedEdge-M features global shutters for distortion-free images. Generating RGB-images by combining the red, green an blue bands together forms a detailed 3D layer of the area.

RedEdge-M: Professional Multispectral Sensor Kit
- One flight, multiple outputs
- Easy and flexible integration options
- Calibrated for precise, repeatable measurements
- Capable of generating RGB color images aligned with 5 specific spectral bands
- RedEdge-M is built to last with quality materials
- Kit includes a Downwelling Light Sensor (DLS), GPS/Mag module, calibrated reflectance panel, and hard carrying case
Minimise your costs and maximise your yield
FLY
The RedEdge-M’s low weight, low power requirement, and ability to capture RGB and narrowband spectral bands simultaneously means you can gather the data you need in fewer flights. Have multiple UAVs? RedEdge-M quickly integrates with all of our drone platforms.
PROCESS
With RedEdge-M, you own your data. You’re not limited to a particular processing platform. You can choose whichever platform is best for you, your customer, or your project. HEIGHT TECH listens to your needs and gives you the best advice to optimally use your new agricultural powerdecive.
ANALYZE
RedEdge-M has five bands—blue, green, red, red edge, and near-infrared—that our research showed were optimal for sensing crop health. It simply shows you more. And with MicaSense Atlas software you can see many different analytical layers in one easy to use interface, and compare these outputs across time to discover trends.
ANYWHERE
We know you need tools you can rely on. That’s why we built the sensors we wanted in the field—predictable, tough, and reliable—so you can access the data you need when you need it.



Customize your RedEdge-M
Some projects or specialized applications require different filters than the stock options.
Or maybe you need even more spectral resolution than just five bands.
