Freefly pioneered the adjustable o-ring isolation system on the CineStar.  It was the first system that truly delivered vibration free footage in a wide range of shooting situations. With the ALTA we improved the system to make it quick release and interchangeable so that pilots could adjust the system for a variety of camera, lens and industrial applications.   Tiny details that make the your quest for perfect footage easier.

ALTA 8 is accurate, predictable, agile. Every detail has a purpose. Every ounce we saved in design, increases performance and removes barriers in getting the shot you want. By maintaining precise control of the prop RPM at all times, the ALTA is able to go from a slow, precise move, to ripping across the sky without changing a single setting. 

The ALTA features a high-bandwidth height hold that fuses the readings from the accelerometer and barometer to derive a highly accurate and reliable height estimate. ⠀ This means that the pilot can focus on framing / composition / and making sure the bugs are not landing on his eyeballs without ruining the shot aren't just for backpacks and boots. ⠀ For many of the shots in the #ALTA8 promo video, the pilots at Freefly were using Height Hold to keep our shots very consistent in elevation, or to command very precise climb / descent velocities. ⠀ A height hold the pilot can count on drastically reduces pilot fatigue and stress... which we know you have plenty of.

Every ALTA is hand built and assembled at our facility just out side of Seattle, WA.  It takes around 12 hours to build each ALTA which includes a barrage of component and system level tests. After passing this gauntlet of tests, each ALTA is test flown by a Freefly test pilot to ensure each ALTA flies as well as our personal machines. The ALTA engineering team custom builds assembly and testing fixtures to ensure consistency, reliability, and repeatability. We know that these machines will carry precious cargo, and be tested to the limits by our customers.....we test, plan, and agonize over each ALTA because of it

Daring, dynamic camera moves are made repeatable and predictable by the Synapse intelligent flight controller.   Highly precise flight paths turn into compelling camera moves

Precise control of the propeller rpm is what allows the ALTA to be accurate, predictable, but incredibly agile when needed. The sine wave silent drive motor controls found on the ALTA allow for very fast step response which allows the Synapse to maintain accurate control of the aircrafts attitude in all flight regimes.   Our favorite aspect of the silent drive's found on the ALTA is the lack of 'screeching' found on normal motor drives.

Look to the Sky. Capture the action below. The decision is yours.

Six quick release latches allow the ALTA to fold down to just over 20inches (515mm) diameter, making it the most packable drone in its class. ALTA is a fully capable cinema drone with top and bottom camera mount options.  Its designed to go from pelican case to flying in minutes and allow pilots to focus on creating the next great aerial sequence.  Ultra portable | Ready to fly | Ready to film
