Alta X Gen2 overview
The Freefly Alta X Gen2 is a 10,860 g enterprise drone released in February 2026, with a dual-camera system (19.9 MP Super 35 and 61 MP Full Frame) and up to 50 minutes of flight.
It supports automated waypoint missions. At 120 m the LR1 (Sony ILX-LR1) (24mm) resolves about 1.89 cm/px, and one photo covers about 2.15 ha. With optional add-on RTK and a mechanical shutter, it's well suited to survey-grade mapping.
