Customize PX4 flight code to your needs, or control Alta with DroneCode SDK. Add custom payloads and accesories quickly and easily.
Over thousands of flight hours Alta has earned a reputation as the industries “toughest drone.”
Alta goes from case to flying in under 5 minutes.

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.
Improving system performance and increasing reliability
Beyond the lab and into the unpredictable real world
32Component Tests
8Mechanical Tests
16Software Tests
10Flight Tests
66Tests Before Shipping
01
Xray test, visual inspection, in circuit test, functional tests, conformal coating (waterproofing)
02
Adjust motor endplay, validate prop balance, inspect critical dimensions (motor mount, prop hub)
03
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.
04
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.
05
The final test before your Alta ships to you - a human flies the aircraft and ensures precise and predictable flight performance.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The Alta weighs in at 13lbs, carries a 20lb payload and folds up to half of its unfolded size.
The Alta features a lightweight molded plastic enclosure to cover the flight control and power distribution board to protect them from the elements.
The Alta Pro provides two fully enclosed receiver mounting bays to keep these sensitive components protected and dry.
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.
Designed to make your life as a pilot easier, Alta arrives in a custom pelican case and is ready to unfold and fly.
Our quick release system can be mounted to almost any type of payload – allowing unparalleled speed, flexibility, and creativity in what you can fly.
“Alta Pro is everything we love and trust about Alta 8, now smarter, more precise and future-proof. From cinema to industrial applications, we’re excited to have this aircraft in our lineup.”
- Drew Roberts, Wild Rabbit Aerial
Alta is equally at home carrying a cinema camera or a high resolution LiDAR.
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.
Easily control Alta Pro using high level programming (python, swift, etc).
