Freefly Alta X Specifications

About Freefly Alta X

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.

Designed to Perform
• Fly a Movi Carbon (20 lb payload) for 20+ minutes, or a max payload for over 10 minutes
• With smaller payloads, flight times can exceed 40 minutes
• Carry up to a 35lb payload while maintaining a 2:1 thrust to weight ratio

Small Footprint
Big Impact

• Alta X folds to half its normal size with the push of a finger
• The folding linkages also stiffen the booms to ensure low vibration and precise flight characteristics.

Alta X travels in the same case as Alta 8, carries 175% the payload and goes from case to flight in under 2 minutes.
Our Active Blade design reduces vibration to 1/5th of the normal level.

Reliability Without Compromise
We sweat the details so you don't have to. Check out some of the tests we created to ensure Alta X will perform day after day in the harshest environments.
• Hinge Folding Test
• Hinge Stress Test
• ActiveBlade Driving Test
• ActiveBlade Fatigue Test
• Burn in Test
• Flight Test
• Environmental Tests
• Real Time Monitoring
• Redundancy

Alta X is built to carry just about anything with our integrated quick release system on top and bottom of the aircraft.

X+ Carbon
20+ minute flight times and perfectly stable images at 240mm.

X+ LiDAR
30 minute flight times with survey grade LiDAR allows for efficient and high quality capture.

X+ LED
20 minute flights with cinema grade LED allow entirely new ways to light tv / film.

X+ Mapping Camera
Alta X creates extraordinarily detailed maps by flying 50 to 100 Megapixel imagers.

We've made the software stack equally flexible by using Auterion Enterprise PX4 and supporting the MAVSDK

Auterion Enterprise PX4
The Operating System For Commercial Drones

• Support for RTK (including photo tagging)
• Automated and hassle-free logging and compliance
• 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

Expansion Ports
Alta X features 3 battery voltage power outputs and 5V, 12V DC to DC converters to power your payloads. Additionally we break out the following ports for easy access.


- Futaba Controller -

We fly Alta X with a Futaba radio and receiver and recommend that you do, too!

You can choose to have the receiver pre-installed on your Alta X by choosing it as an option when you build your kit, or you can buy it separate.

Either way the controller and receiver will be bound and mapped the way we recommend in the Alta X Flight Manual, in mode 2.
