Shipping Considerations
This package ships in two boxes. One with the Alta X in Travel Case, and one with the Pilot Pro Controller.
*This bundle matches our ATO. If you just want the aircraft with the custom DIU firmware, and not Pilot Pro, look here. If the configuration offered in this bundle is changed, the end user accepts responsibility for compliance of the equipment added or modified.
**Due to the mechanical design of the RFD radio backpack, this configuration is not compatible with the Tripod Adapter or Tablet Clamp Mount.
***This system is not compatible with FRX Pro nor Freefly RTK at this time.
Alta X was designed from the ground up to capitalize on the benefits of large, efficient props while maintaining the crisp control and unmatched precision the Alta line is known for. Alta X is built to carry just about anything with Freefly's integrated quick release system on top and bottom of the aircraft. The software stack is equally as flexible using Auterion Enterprise PX4 and supporting the MAVSDK. Alta X can also be equipped with the RTK GPS giving it centimeter level prevision by adding the Freefly multi-band RTK system.
Alta X folds to half its normal size with the push of a finger. The folding linkages stiffen the booms to ensure low vibration and precise flight characteristics.
Alta X Active Blade design reduces vibrations to 1/5 the normal level. Reduced vibration means lower fatigue on components, longer motor bearing life, less payload vibration for cleaner data collection, and of course better footage when shooting.
Reliability without Compromise.
Freefly's team sweats the details so you don’t have to. They provide manufacturing tests and workflows to ensure Alta X will perform day after day in the harshest environments.
Designed, assembled, tested, and supported by the Freefly team at their headquarters in Woodinville WA, USA.
