Gather high-flying mapping data with this Astro Map Compact Industrial Drone Bundle from FREEFLY. Included in the bundle is the Astro Compact Industrial Drone base kit and its accessories, as well as the Mapping Payload with gimbal and pre-installed camera. Two additional SL8 SuperLight Air batteries help increase flight time.
Created to meet the demands of professional and industrial applications, the Freefly Astro Compact Industrial Drone delivers a feature-rich, customizable aerial platform. This base kit version of the Astro includes a host of accessories to get you flying immediately and a travel case to get everything on location safely. All you have to do is supply a gimbal and payload of your choice to match your specific requirements. Perhaps you'll add a high-end DSLR for cinema projects, a thermal camera for inspections or first responder rescue missions, or a camera that utilizes the Astro's RTK system for precision mapping.
Whichever payload type you employ with the Astro, the drone provides you with up to 25 minutes of flight time with an average payload of 3.3 lb. You can customize tasks by employing your own code inside the Astro via MAVSDK, as well as using it to send recorded data to the cloud for processing into your workflow via integrated LTE connectivity (United States only). The code within the drone is operated by Skynode, which powers the Astro with a Linux-based mission computer.

Mount this FREEFLY Mapping Payload to the bottom of your Astro drone thanks to its native compatibility to achieve dynamic geo-tagged images. Included with the mapping gimbal is a pre-installed Sony a7R IVA camera body with 61MP image quality and a Sigma 24mm f3.5 lens. A USB Type-C thumb drive records the images captured in 25 to 32 minutes of flight.
The native mount on the gimbal provides both power and data communication from the camera to a ground station controller via LTE network. This allows you to control the camera and gimbal while previewing images from the ground. It is required that your drone have the Smart Dovetail attached in order to support the device.
