Astro Max Testflight Program - Fly it. Then Own It.
Product Details
Put Astro Max to work on real jobs — before committing to a full purchase.
The Astro Max Testflight lets you receive a complete, capture-ready drone system and begin flying immediately. Use it in the field for a full week. If it performs the way we expect it will, simply pay the remaining balance and keep the exact system you received.
No waiting for demos. No evaluation units. No back-and-forth shipping. Fly it, then own it.
Your $5,000 deployment fee is 100% applied toward the purchase price if you choose to keep the system.
How the Program Works
-
Choose your system configuration
Select the Astro Max Mapping system that fits your mission (NDAA or Standard)
-
Deploy in the field
Your complete kit arrives ready to operate out of the box.
-
Fly real missions for 7 days
Evaluate the system using your own workflows, locations, and operators.
-
Keep the system or return it
If Astro Max meets your expectations, simply pay the remaining balance and keep the system. If not, ship it back to Freefly.
