Meet Freefly’s heavy-lift flagship drone platform, Alta X. Engineered to tackle your most demanding cinema and industrial projects. Designed from the ground up, the Alta X leverages large, efficient propellers to deliver exceptional control and precision, hallmarks of the renowned Alta line. Its innovative folding design allows the Alta X to collapse to half its size with a simple push, ensuring easy transport without compromising on performance.
The Alta X’s robust construction supports impressive payload capacities, enabling up to 50-minute flights without payload, and 30-minute flights with an 11-pound payload such as the Phoenix LiDAR system. Its adaptable quick-release system on both the top and bottom of the aircraft allows for seamless integration of various payloads, including LiDAR sensors, mapping cameras, and professional cinema gear.

We designed Alta X 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 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. Our Alta ActiveBlade design reduces vibration to 1/5th of 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. Designed, assembled, tested, and supported by the Freefly team at our headquarters in Woodinville WA, USA. Our customer support team, operations, and engineering team all work in the same building to encourage cross-team communication. We even developed our own product development software to ensure our customers’ success remains our priority as Freefly grows.
Alta X is built to carry just about anything with our integrated quick release system on top and bottom of the aircraft. We’ve made the software stack equally as flexible by using Auterion Enterprise PX4 and supporting the MAVSDK. A lightweight, low-profile quick release unit which provides an easy mount and release solution for your Alta to a variety of payloads.

Auterion Enterprise PX4
Auterion and Freefly jointly develop and improve PX4 firmware for use on Freefly drones.
• Control Alta with custom MAVSDK API software which can be used from the ground via radio, or onboard via an expansion computer (not included).
• Keep flying safely with the latest software updates.
Freefly RTK GPS
Alta X can be equipped with centimeter level precision by adding our multi-band RTK system. Using the latest GNSS module from u-blox (F9P) our RTK will give you rock solid height and position hold.
Complete control at your fingertips.

In The Box:
This kit comes with one module, magnetic mounting hardware for common tripods (1/4″ 20), and a USB cable.* Here’s what you will need if you have:
1. An Alta X** with F9P GPS (not Here2) and you want full RTK capability:
2. An Alta X* with Here2 GPS, and you want fully RTK capability:
3. An Alta X* with Here2 GPS, and you just want increased GPS performance:
4. Any Astro, and you want full RTK capability:
*If your computer (MacBook Pro, etc) does not have USB A ports, you will need a USB A-C adapter or your own USB C-C cable.
**DIU Blue and NDAA Versions of Alta X are not compatible with our RTK due to lack of connectivity through the RFD900 radio link.
If you need a Blue or NDAA drone, and want to stick with a Freefly drone, that is able to map with the RTK GPS Ground Station check out the Freefly Astro.
***Ground station computer, FRX Pro, nor tripod with 1/4 20 connector are not included with this product.
