What Kind of Multispectral Imagery is Supported for Upload?
(Mavic 3 Multispectral Processing) Since the M3M does not have a blue band, you can upload the 4 bands (red, green, RE, NIR) to produce the orthos and conduct Plant Health analysis.
Multispectral uploads are only supported via the Legacy uploader.
Why should I consider a SLANTRANGE camera?
Very sophisticated agricultural mappers looking for calibrated, multi-spectral plant health analysis should consider a SLANTRANGE camera in order to capture high-quality, accurate data over time.
Which camera is supported?
The SLANTRANGE 3p and 3px are compatible with DroneDeploy. Be sure to enable '3rd Party Camera' in your user settings. DroneDeploy does not control or command this 3rd party Slantrange camera: The Slantrange app does.

How to Fly with Slantrange
Install the SLANTRANGE app in the DroneDeploy App Market to enable:
- Direct communication between the 3PX and the flight controller
- Automatic configuration of the flight planner
- Detailed 3PX status; prevents conducting flights when the 3PX is not ready or configured incorrectly - 3PX initialization integrated into pre-flight checks
- Start and stop image capture Image counter
- Real-time sunlight measurements to optimize data collections
- Display SD card usage
- Format SD card
- Generate 3PX log files
- Calibrate 3PX gyros and accelerometers
How to upload your datasets
First, go to the project you would like to add a map to. Then navigate to the upload page on the top of your browser. Select New Upload.
Choose Select your Slantrange files from the bottom of the panel.
Select your .tif files
Your images will begin uploading:
When your map is complete, you'll receive an email.
What is my data displaying?
You'll notice that when your data is complete, your resulting map is blue on the 2d layer:
2D orthomosaic
When you upload your dataset, the 4 bands are converted into 3 bands with the appropriate algorithm. When you select the Plant Health layer, the appropriate band order will be automatically selected.
Should you use a 5 band sensor like the RedEdge the 5-band multispectral export layers are in blue, green, red, red edge, and near-infrared, in that order.
Our five-band multispectral exports are in blue, green, red, red-edge, and near-infrared order.
