Product Details

Astro is Freefly’s compact industrial drone platform.

Freefly understands the need for quality tools. For more than 10 years Freefly aircraft have carried cinema cameras for Hollywood and high-end productions around the world. It carries valuable payloads in high-pressure situations. We also understand the need for flexibility. Astro’s interface specs are open, making it a flexible and reliable tool to get your new ideas in the air.

Each Astro Base includes an Astro (with props and folding landing gear and basic vibration isolated payload mount), Herelink controller, one set of batteries, two chargers, and everything else you need to fly, all packed in a hard case.
