Product Description
Our NDVI vegetation stress camera conversion service allows your camera to capture blue, green and near-infrared light for use in vegetation stress or health monitoring by hand or UAV drone mapping. We use our own custom NDVI filters with high in-band transmission, strong out of band blocking, sharp cutoffs and wide angle of incidence characteristics.
Our 1 year warranty is included on conversion services and installed NDVI filters.
After you place your order you will receive an email with instructions on how to send us your camera.

White Balance Tips
When setting a custom white balance with a full spectrum modified Sony camera you may see a white balance error message. The purpose of this message is to inform you that the colors are out of the normal range expected by the camera. Of course they are, as it’s been converted! The camera still sets the white balance even though it doesn’t like the colors it’s seeing, so just ignore the message.
Also, you may notice that when you set a custom white balance the camera gives you a Kelvin temperature number as well. This number is completely inaccurate so don’t try to take a shortcut by just setting the WB to this Kelvin number – the results will be completely different from a real custom white balance setting.
1 Year Conversion Service Warranty
Company warrants the conversion service for a period of 1 year from date of conversion order completion. The warranty is void if the tamper sticker is damaged or removed, converted components have been tampered with, subjected to any abuse or misuse, or if failure to operate properly arises from any foreign elements such as dirt, corrosion, or liquid identified as present within the converted components. The warranty does not cover any other components of the camera except the conversion service and components provided by Company as part of the conversion service.
You must notify Company of a warranty claim within the warranty period, obtain RMA number and ship to Company facility as instructed. The Company is not responsible for lost or damaged shipments, shipping insurance is highly recommended. The Company will repair or replace the conversion and/or conversion components or provide you funds to do so, as determined by Company.
In case of damage during shipping Customer must retain all shipping materials and contact Company within 10 days of shipment receipt to allow for a shipping damage claim to be filed. If Company determines that the damage occurred during shipping and shipping materials were not retained and/or Company was not contacted within 10 days of receipt then the warranty is void.

DEON VAN DER MERWE (verified owner) –
I have used this service for NDVI conversions on Sony a5100 cameras several times, with excellent results. The filters used by Lifepixel are of high quality, with consistent frequency selection over the whole sensor area, resulting in fewer vignetting artifacts. The filters also result in good band purity, with very little NIR response in the blue and green channels, resulting in less noise and excellent dynamic range when performing NDVI calculations. The availability of green and blue visible bands, and therefore the ability to produce “blue” NDVI and “green” NDVI has advantages in certain weed identifications and crop stress assessments. No sensor system is perfect, but the effective NDVI dynamic range and precision (ie the ability to detect relatively subtle vegetation differences) and spatial resolution obtainable with these conversions are superior to typical multispectral cameras currently on the market.

Great service.
