Sentera 6X Thermal Pro Sensor
Synchronized multispectral, high-resolution RGB, and advanced thermal data in a single flight.
With four 3.2MP radiometric multispectral imagers, a 20MP RGB imager, and a FLIR Boson 640 radiometric thermal imager, the 6X Thermal Pro delivers four times the resolution of the 6X Thermal, ensuring unparalleled data accuracy.
Its ultra-lightweight, gimballed design, high capture rate, and 512GB internal SSD storage maximize productivity and efficiency. Ideal for advanced analytics, it seamlessly integrates data into common software platforms, empowering agronomists, researchers, and industry professionals to make informed decisions based on precise and accurate data. The Sentera 6X Thermal Pro sets a new standard in multi-sensing data capture.
Four Multispectral Bands + Radiometric Thermal
The 6X Thermal Pro captures four discrete multispectral bands plus full-color RGB across the visible and near-infrared, alongside a high-resolution radiometric long-wave thermal band (8–14 µm) — thermal and vegetation data co-registered from a single flight.
Bands shown as center wavelength × FWHM; thermal band on a broken axis. The RGB imager captures full visible color.
| Band | Center Wavelength × Width |
|---|---|
| Green | 550nm × 20nm |
| Red | 670nm × 30nm |
| Red Edge | 715nm × 10nm |
| NIR | 840nm × 20nm |
| RGB | IR cut 650nm |
| Thermal (LWIR) | 8–14 µm (radiometric) |
The Complete Dual-Sensor Intelligence Platform
Ideal for research, land management, and infrastructure inspections, the 6X Thermal Pro empowers professionals to make informed decisions with precise, detailed data.
Thermal Mapping Made Easy
6X Thermal Pro sensors are designed with thermal mapping in mind. Their synchronized and aligned imagery enables rig processing and makes orthorectifying thermal imagery more effective, producing thermal maps with ease.
Maximize Productivity
The 6X Series sensors' lightweight design, 5 FPS capture rate, synchronized image capture, and gimbal allow for faster & longer flights without sacrificing data quality — meaning you can cover more ground each flight.
Ease of Use
Plug-and-play integration on many popular UAS platforms, rig processing support, time-of-capture geo-tagging, and large internal storage reduce training requirements and streamline your workflow. 6X Series sensor data is supported in most multispectral image processing platforms.
Accuracy
Paired with an incident light sensor, calibrated reflectance panel, integrated pulse-per-second (PPS) synchronization, time-of-capture geotagging, and gimbal, 6X Series sensors are ready to produce radiometrically accurate data out of the box.
Seamless Data Layers
Vegetation Health, Thermal, Elevation, and RGB mosaics are easily overlaid with each other from their independent data layers, allowing for seamless analysis between layers and their respective features.
Advanced Visualization
Simultaneous data capture from the 6X Series sensors enables combining data types — like a hill shade derived from a DSM with a vegetation health map — to contextualize multispectral data with terrain variation.
