Freefly Alta X Drone
Industrial workhorse.
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.
Reliability without Compromise.
We sweat the details so you don’t have to. Check out some of the manufacturing tests and workflow we created to ensure Alta X will perform day after day in the harshest environments.

Expansion Ports
Alta X features 3 battery voltage power outputs and optional 5V, 12V DC to DC converters to power your payloads. Additionally we break out the following ports for easy access.
• 3 x 10a Fused Outputs: 50V
• UART Port: MAVLink UART for accessories
• USB-C: For firmware updates
• I2C Port: Accessory connectivity (parachute, GPS, etc.)
• CAN Port: Power and accessory connectivity
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.
