Map Pilot AG does this when a Sony MSZ multispectral camera is used. Email us at sales@dronesmadeeasy.com for a quote.

Flying a grid with terrain awareness and a payload instead of a camera
Is there a way to fly a grid using Maps Made Easy with the terrain awareness feature without adding a camera? Currently, I fly a DJI Matrice 200 with my FPV camera and an external payload used for agriculture. Most of my sites are on variable terrain. I've tried the "Custom Camera" option, but it will not work

I usually use a MicaSense Red Edge-M when doing multi-spectral work, but I am ONLY using my FPV now when carrying an external payload of insects. Looking for a fix.

Micasense has declined to be supported by Map Pilot. We recommend using the Sony MSZ camera for which we have designed an M200 bracket for.

I think Map Pilot Business allows you to take off without a recognized camera, though it won't let you trigger the Micasense Rededge.
I fly a Matrice 100 with a Zenmuse X3 attached and a Micasense Rededge3. I don't have experience getting the drone to fly a mission with no recognized camera, but I'm still able to fly using terrain awareness and have the Rededge trigger independently from the Map Pilot app. Happy to explain more if that's useful!
edit: I'm realizing you have already figured out the Micasense solution, and are now looking to add a different, non-camera payload. Interesting! Does the option to fly without a recognized camera not get you what you need?
