Freefly Astro Base + Pilot Pro (Herelink RF)
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 ( 950-00108-02 ) includes an Astro (with props and folding landing gear), and spare parts kit all packed in a hard case. The Astro needs 2 SL8 Batteries and SL8 Chargers to fly which are not included in this package and need to be purchased separately.
Notes
