ADU 0967: Freefly ALTA 8 Pro or DJI – Which Is Better Option for Drone Mapping?


Listen Later

Today's question is about the Freefly ALTA 8 Pro. Should you choose the Freefly ALTA 8 over DJI for drone mapping?



Our caller, Ken from NJ has come up with a great question once again. Ken is curious if the Freefly ALTA 8 is suitable for drone mapping. Is it true that you can fly waypoint missions with the Freefly ALTA? And, should professional drone mappers consider buying this expensive drone over proven DJI products like the Inspire 2 and Matrice 600?

We answer Ken's questions by discussing the pros & cons of the Freefly ALTA 8 in great detail. We also speculate about the current uncertainty that has enveloped the drone manufacturing industry. With DJI halting production for the Phantom 4, are other drone manufacturers lining up to fill this void? Is DJI waiting for an opportune time to launch the Phantom 5? Tune in to for some of the latest and most exciting industry news. Thanks for the great question, Ken. Fly Safe!
