Astro

Astro was built to power our professional and industrial partners. Freefly designed the Astro from the ground up to achieve the perfect blend of efficiency, agility, and reliability while keeping the pilot workflow simple and fast.

Built on the success of the Alta family of aircraft, it includes new technologies like Auterion Skynode and Freefly’ s high energy density smart batteries. With Astro, this design was created to emphasize expandability and customization to make sure it can stand up to all challenges thrown its way while still being the dependable workhorse drone that Freefly pilots know and love.

PILOT PRO

Enjoy precise camera and gimbal control with Pilot Pro. Discreet controls for all key drone and gimbal commands allow pilots to capture more and work faster. Machined from aerospace grade aluminum and built to keep up with you day after day. Pilot Pro has internal batteries and external hot swap batteries for 100% uptime.

Alta X

Alta X Gen2 is built for the toughest jobs around the world and designed to power our professional and industrial partners who demand maximum lift, endurance, connectivity, and dependability. It keeps the same rugged carbon frame, 35lb heavy-lift capacity, and ActiveBlade vibration reduction for smooth, stable flight with demanding payloads. Dual RTK GPS and an advanced flight controller give Gen2 improved navigation, better GPS reliability, and smarter failsafe’s, reducing operator workload in complex missions. The Smart Dovetail interface allows quick payload changes with reliable power and data connections, while built-in Ethernet, LTE connectivity, and an expansion bay prepare Gen2 for advanced workflows. Expanded onboard systems—such as an integrated FPV, regulated 12V/24V power, vibration isolation, mounting rails, and weather-sealed service bays—make field maintenance easier, reduce setup time, and increase flexibility.

Flux

Flux is an on-site LiDAR mapping solution built for teams that need fast, accurate data capture and rapid field processing. Freefly positions it as a lightweight, streamlined workflow that lets operators go from scan to decision in minutes, with support for multiple sensor options to match different mission requirements.

Ember

Ember S5K is a compact high-speed camera built for teams that need cinematic and technical imaging at extreme frame rates without the complexity of traditional high-speed systems. Freefly positions it as a fast, flexible platform that goes from capture to share quickly, with a Super 35 sensor, 5K up to 600 fps, 4K up to 800 fps, and an 800 g form factor.
