Equipped with RTK GPS, the Astro Max achieves exceptional positional accuracy, even in challenging conditions. By locking onto over 20 satellites, the drone maintains a stable hover, with the option to enhance accuracy tenfold using an RTK base station. The Pilot Pro controller allows for real-time adjustments to the drone's velocity, optimizing performance for various tasks.

With a 61MP imager, the Astro Max delivers unparalleled image quality and resolution, making it the most packable drone in its class. Its robust design has undergone extensive testing, including structural, environmental, electrical, material, flying, control, payload, and software tests, ensuring reliability and durability.

Manufactured in the USA, the Astro Max is supported by Freefly's comprehensive ecosystem, including Skynode, Mission Control, and the Auterion Cloud Suite. This ecosystem provides a secure and scalable solution for drone planning, flight, and compliance management, tailored for enterprise use.
