About Freefly Alta 8 Pro

Built to Fly
Alta Pro is a professional drone designed for demanding applications.

Adaptable
Customize PX4 flight code to your needs, or control Alta with DroneCode SDK. Add custom payloads and accesories quickly and easily.

Reliable
Over thousands of flight hours Alta has earned a reputation as the industries "toughest drone."

Integrated
Alta goes from case to flying in under 5 minutes.

Flight Modes
• Manual
• Height Mode
• Position Mode
• Return-to-Land (RTH)
• Waypoint Mission Mode

Safety
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.

Redundancy
Improving system performance and increasing reliability
• CAN & PWM Redundant Motor Control Connections
• 3x IMU's Vibration Isolated & Temperature Controlled
• 2x Barometers Precise Height Estimate
• 3x Magnetometers Reliable Positional Accuracy
• Dual RX's Minimize RF Blockage
• Avionics Redundant 5V Power Rail

Testing
Beyond the lab and into the unpredictable real world
• 32 Component Tests
• 8 Mechanical Tests
• 16 Software Tests
• 10 Flight Tests
• 66 Tests Before Shipping

Circuit Board Tests / Inspections
X-ray test, visual inspection, in circuit test, functional tests, conformal coating (waterproofing)

• Mechanical Tests / Inspections
Adjust motor endplay, validate prop balance, inspect critical dimensions (motor mount, prop hub)

System Level Tests
We invented the Alta Combined Test to ensure we only ship the best. Each Alta is subjected to a 2+ hour simulated flight that stress tests the machine and compares real time performance metrics with exacting thresholds. Any system that is out of limit triggers an instant fail.

Simulated Flight
After passing the AC test we test the Alta on the weeble to ensure the flight controller is responding properly and all controls and responses are accurate.

Pilot Tests
The final test before your Alta ships to you - a human flies the aircraft and ensures precise and predictable flight performance.

Utility
From case to landing, we've honed every step of the Alta Pro experience to give the pilot an edge over the competition. Freefly's proprietary motors and motor drives give Alta Pro drones unmatched capacity. Pilots can turn on a dime while carrying industry-leading payloads.

Battery Tray
Our modular battery tray allows users to mount batteries on the top, bottom, or both sides of the aircraft. Dual battery straps allow sub 1 min battery changes.

Ground / Sky View
The Alta Pro provides two quick release mounts both isolated from vibration allowing for payloads to be mounted on the bottom or the top for the most possible use cases.

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.

Lightweight
The Alta weighs in at 13lbs, carries a 20lb payload and folds up to half of its unfolded size.

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.

Receiver Bay
The Alta Pro provides two fully enclosed receiver mounting bays to keep these sensitive components protected and dry.

F45 Motors and Drive
Using sinusoidal drive motor controls with proprietary control algorithms developed by Freefly. The motor drives are custom tuned to match the F45 and are optimized for speed, reliability, and robustness.

Case to Flying
Designed to make your life as a pilot easier, Alta arrives in a custom pelican case and is ready to unfold and fly.

Adaptable
Our quick release system can be mounted to almost any type of payload - allowing unparalleled speed, flexibility, and creativity in what you can fly.

Built To Perform
Alta is equally at home carrying a cinema camera or a high resolution LiDAR.

Control
Alta Pro runs PX4 flight stack which gives users complete control. Build custom firmware innovations if you have the in house engineering team, or choose high level control of the drone using Dronecode SDK.

SDK
• Easily control Alta Pro using high level programming (python, swift, etc).
• Control via Dronecode SDK using companion computers or over RF

RTK GPS
Options gives users up to cm level positional accuracy by measuring the phase of the carrier wave (in addition to the information contained in the GPS signal)
