RedEdge-M & RedEdge-MX Instructions
Attaching the RedEdge-M or RedEdge-MX and the Mount
NOTE: These instructions assume that the Matrice 100 has a battery bay installed on the
bottom of the aircraft main body. The fixed mount plate attaches to the bottom of the battery
bay.
1. Locate the M3 screws, M3 flat washers, M3 lock washers, and fixed mount plate.
2. Attach the mount to the back of the RedEdge-M or RedEdge-MX.
3. The order of washers is important. Starting from the camera, the assembly order should
be camera > bracket > flat washer > lock washer > M3 x 5mm screw.
4. Next, attach the mount to the Matrice 100 battery cover using the M3 x 6mm screws
and internal tooth washers. Hand tighten until snug, then using a tool turn an additional
¼ turn.
5. When attached, the camera will be tilted forward slightly to compensate for the tilt of
the aircraft while flying.

It’s simple to plan a successful mission
FLY
The MicaSense sensors low weight, low power requirements, and ability to
capture RGB and narrowband spectral bands simultaneously means you can
gather the data you need in fewer flights. Have multiple UAVs? MicaSense
sensors quickly integrate with many different drone platforms.
PROCESS
With MicaSense sensors, 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.
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 gather the data
you need when you need it.
ANALYZE
RedEdge-MX and Altum have 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, you can see many different
analytical layers in one easy to use interface, and compare these outputs across
time.
