The Freefly ALTA 6 multi-rotor unpacks, ready to shoot, in under five minutes. It is easy to fly, powerful, rigid, adaptable, reliable, and is a UAV optimized for up to 15-pound payloads. Confidently fly RED, ARRI and other professional cameras with our drone, guided by our state-of-the-art SYNAPSE Flight Controller. Capture cinematic aerial shots like never before with the option to mount the MoVI on top.
We can't remove the pressure to get the perfect shot, but with the ALTA 6, you'll enjoy each challenge you meet in aerial cinematography.
Note:
Please consult the max payload chart in the ALTA 6 Aircraft Flight Manual for specific weight limitations.
FPV System add-on is NTSC.
The ALTA 6 UAV comes fully assembled and includes all the necessary tools and accessories you will need to mount a MoVI and get it flying. The standard ALTA 6 drone ships with a Toad in the Hole quick release (male adapter), Battery Cage Landing Gear, FPV mount plate, cables to connect your personal receivers and/or FPV system, and mechanical tools to disassemble & inspect your UAV. Freefly ALTA App available for download.
Not Included: The standard ALTA 6 drone configuration does not include a MoVI, batteries, a transmitter, receivers, the Aero Landing Gear (lower landing gear for flying a MoVI in the bottom mount configuration)
ALTA 6
Dependable
Testing
Each and every ALTA endures a barrage of component and system level tests designed to weed out items that do not meet our strict quality control levels. After passing this gauntlet of tests, each ALTA is test flown by a Freefly test pilot to ensure each ALTA flies as well as our personal machines.
Quick Release
We hear from customers each and every day that our Toad in the Hole quick release system has dramatically improved their speed and flexibility on set. We decided early that the ALTA would utilize the TITH quick release on both the top and bottom of the drone, allowing unparalleled speed, flexibility, and creativity.
Vibration Isolation
Freefly pioneered the adjustable o-ring isolation design on the CineStar, and we've improved it further for the ALTA by upgrading the design to be tool less and quick release.
Weather Resistant
The ALTA features a lightweight molded plastic enclosure to cover the flight control and power distribution board to protect them from the elements.
Innovative
Big Impact. Small Footprint.
The more places your ALTA fits, the more places you'll take it. From 1533mm to 515mm, ALTA reduces to 33% of its flying diameter and makes it the most packable drone in its class.
The ALTA 6 folds to 33% of its operating size.
The most packable drone in its class
Look to the Sky
ALTA is the first multi-rotor to accept a camera on the top of the airframe. Explore a completely new world of filmmaking possibilities with SkyView.
From case to filming in minutes
Designed to make your life as an elite aerial cinematographer easier, the ALTA arrives in a custom pelican case and is ready to unfold and fly.
Intelligent
SYNAPSE
The Freefly SYNAPSE combines high quality calibrated sensors with proprietary control algorithms to allow users to execute complex flight patterns with ease.
Integrated on-screen display
High-bandwidth position control
Vertical and ground velocity speed limits
Live graphing
Dual Receivers
Tested for years by industry's best pilots.
Silent Drive
The ALTA utilizes sinusoidal drive motor controls with proprietary control algorithms developed by the Freefly engineering team. The motor drives are custom tuned to match the F45 and are optimized for speed, reliability, and robustness. The motor drives are constantly monitoring a variety of parameters and reporting status to the SYNAPSE.
Velocity Clamps
The SYNAPSE features velocity control with an adjustable real time speed limit. This means pilots can alter the vertical and ground velocities to ensure precise and repeatable camera moves.
Height Hold
The SYNAPSE flight controller takes readings from accelerometers, barometer, and GPS and fuses them together to create high-bandwidth height control flight mode.
What this means for filmmakers is you now have a dolly in the sky.
ALTA App
The Alta mobile app gives pilots quick and easy access to critical flight information including:
Flight Pack Voltage
Satellite Count
Flight Mode
Attitude
Pilot Checklists
Vibration Levels
Height
Temperature
Agile
ALTA moves like no other drone
Freefly has been leading the industry in camera movement for over a decade. We learned early that a key ingredient to unforgettable shots is the ability to move the camera dynamically.
All the Right Angles
The ALTA allows the pilot to command up to a 45 degree angle. This allows smooth, precise, and dynamic control of camera movement.
Built to Perform
Custom designed motors and motor drives strike a perfect balance between performance and efficiency and set the standard for heavy lift multi rotors. The ALTA airframe weighs only 10lbs, but carries a 15lb payload
Complete Control
The ALTA silent drive motor controls have incredible closed loop control of the propellers.
