Alta X Gen2 (NDAA/Blue)
Product Details
The next evolution in Freefly flight is here, and it's NDAA Compliant and on the Blue List! Alta X Gen2 combines the rugged, heavy-lift performance of the Alta X airframe with the cutting-edge flight controller, smart payload interfaces, and seamless workflow integration of Astro Max.
Engineered for professional operators who demand maximum lift, endurance, and flexibility, this new platform delivers:
- Next-Gen Autonomy & Control - Powered by the same custom Skynode in Astro Max for enhanced GPS resilience, precise navigation, and intelligent failsafes.
- 35 lb Payload Capacity - Carry large cinema rigs, advanced sensors, or multiple payloads with stability and precision.
- Smart Dovetail Payload Interface - Quick-connect options for Freefly and a growing field of third-party payloads, with expanded communication and power pathways.
- NDAA and Blue Compliant Hardware & Software - This version of Alta X Gen 2 (NDAA/Blue) uses Doodle Labs hardware and Blue List approved software for compliant remote control.
- Industrial-Grade Reliability - Alta X’s proven carbon-fiber frame, weather-resistant design, and rapid field-deployable setup.
- Data-Driven Workflows - Integrated telemetry, mission planning tools, and logging for enterprise and inspection applications.
- Expanded Connectivity and Integration - Leverage the internal payload bay to add custom integrations with onboard Ethernet, regulated payload power, and onboard LTE for remote connectivity (software disabled by default for Blue, no SIM included).
This is the Freefly system built for the heaviest lifts, the toughest environments, and the smartest missions.

Does not include
For maximum versatility for a variety of operators, Alta X Gen2 does not include batteries/chargers. We recommend:
- At least one dual channel charger plus six Alta X Gen2 batteries, per aircraft. If you cannot charge in the field and need to operate more than three flights, add one pair of batteries per additional flight planned. Each charger can charge two batteries at a time, and adding additional chargers will speed up your overall charting throughput.
For applications other than flying industrial payloads, you will need additional mounting hardware / landing gear:
- For cinema or vibration damped payloads: Payload Vibration Damper + Skyview Landing Gear + Mōvi Pro Landing Gear for your Mōvi Pro
- For Cargo: Cargo Landing Gear + Various Accy specific to your application + Short Quick Release Mount
