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.
“Finally a drone without compromise”
Patrick Weir
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.
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.
Building a drone that flies like the Alta X is just the first step. Our customers’ success depends on our comprehensive and integrated ecosystem that ensures in-field success.
At your HQ or ours, we will teach you best practices and how we operate to ensure the best chance at success.
Realtime and expert help from our US-based support team.
From custom integrations to advice on adapting your payload to an Alta X, our Engineering team is available and eager to help.
We stock all important spare parts to keep you up and running. Customers can order directly from our webstore 24 hours a day and in-stock parts will ship same or next day.
With the optional industrial package, users can have Freefly support and Auterion’s predictive maintenance suite monitoring your Alta X live and alerting you to any potential issues before they become a real problems. Replace parts as needed, not as planned.

“I think what makes the Alta X so valuable and distinctive is the combination of payload capacity, endurance, reliability and ease of transport. All of that comes together to make my life easier and allows me to fly the complex camera and lens combinations that directors and DP’s want.”

“With the Alta X pulling out rope in our logging operations, we’ve found a significant time savings. What would take one or two people 3+ hours, the Alta X can do in 5 to 8 minutes. Also the added safety of not having to send people through adverse terrain is priceless.”
