Pilot Pro Controller (Herelink RF) - Astro Upgrade Service
Product Details
Due to supply constraints we will not be offering this service again until early 2025.
The Freefly Pilot Pro drone controller is the perfect companion for your next Astro mission.
Combining superior US-made craftsmanship, modular radio transmitter options, and the latest in onboard emergency safety features, you'll be ready to take flight with confidence.
Enjoy precise camera and gimbal control with the high resolution rockers. Control all key user actions discreetly with the physical inputs. The custom-configured 8" Samsung ActiveTab3 and user harness provide round out the platform for mission success.
This upgrade is not possible in the field. If you have an Astro already and are ready to upgrade it to Pilot Pro, you'll need to ship your Astro to us for service.* The cost of the Pilot Pro (Herelink RF) hardware is $6,000 USD**, but we'll cover the labor costs for the installation as well as return shipping costs to your location after service.
If you're ready to upgrade, just click "Request Service" above and fill out the brief form with your Astro details. The website will provide you with an RA number to reference on your shipment.
We want this to be as smooth and quick as possible for you, so please check your email for full shipping instructions before shipping your Astro to us for service.
*This upgrade service is currently only available through Freefly directly and will not be offered through our dealer/reseller network.
**If there is extensive damage to the Astro, there may be additional costs associated with the upgrade service.
