For drone operators interested in multispectral and thermal capability with high-res RGB data all in one sensor, Clogworks are proud to announce our drones can offer up to 52 minutes flight time with the range of Sentera 6X cameras, paired with a lightweight gimbal and quick release system.
We also integrate smoothly the incident light sensor with a quick release 3D printed solution.

The Sentera 6X multispectral camera has five 3.2MP global shutter multispectral imagers and one 20MP RGB imager all in one sensor. Combined with our drones, this sensor is ideal for season-long vegetation analysis utilizing science-grade, accurate radiometric multispectral imagery and high-resolution RGB.

Key use cases are:

• Mapping: Multispectral, RGB, DSM/Elevation

• Residue cover, carbon monitoring, and conservation practice verification

• Canopy development & senescence detection

• Crop health, damage, disease detection, nutrient status, and stress

• Stand count, emergence, and seed vigour

• Weed pressure and herbicide efficacy

• Leaf area index, plant growth, flowering, growth stage, plant size, uniformity, and biomass monitoring

Clogworks can also integrate the Sentera 6X Thermal Pro camera, which has four 3.2MP global shutter multispectral imagers, one 20MP RGB imager and one 640 radiometric FLIR Boson imager.

Key use cases of the Sentera 6X Thermal Pro sensor are:

• Evaporation analysis

• Water stress prediction and monitoring

• Mapping: Multispectral, RGB, DSM/Elevation, Thermal

• Residue cover, carbon monitoring, and conservation practice verification

• Crop health, damage, disease detection, nutrient status, and stress

•  Forest fire detection, active flame identification

•  Soil and vegetation moisture levels

 

These sensors enable detailed data capture and analysis in agriculture, environmental monitoring and infrastructure management, which facilitate timely decision-making.

 

Sentera also offers the 65R sensor, the first ultra-high-resolution aerial sensor in its class to deliver seamless drone integration without compromising image quality. With 65 million pixels per frame (resolution: 9344 x 7000) of global shutter imagery, the 65R produces exceptional imagery to generate high quality individual photos, digital surface models (DSMs) or orthomosaics. It comes with lens option of 27mm as standard or 43mm.
