This rugged, hard-shell case is the AL2727-1404 Single-Lid Case made by Pelican. It’s constructed from lightweight, high-impact polyethylene with molded-in ribs and corrugations for secure, non-slip stacking. Pelican also provided increased durability in the edges and corners by adding 20% more material in those locations. A custom-cut foam interior is precisely shaped to hold the default Alta X frame in its folded configuration, an optional Futaba 14SG remote, and optional Skyview landing gear. Other features include:

• Recessed hardware
• Built-in wheels and extendable handle
• Dual carry handles
• Molded-in, tongue-in-groove gasketed parting lines for splash resistance and tight seals after impact
• Positive anti-shear locks to help prevent lid separation on impact, and reduce hardware stress
• Molded-in metal inserts for catch and hinge attachment points, which help provide strength

Providing centimeter-level measuring accuracy, the RTK GPS system makes this Alta X an ideal solution for agriculture, construction, and other corporate or industrial applications where aerial mapping is a necessity. Utilizing RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) technology, the Alta X can produce this pinpoint accuracy both vertically and horizontally. To achieve this, two modules are included. One module mounts to the Alta X while the other connects to your ground station computer. The ground station sends corrections to the drone for high-precision location information.

This system includes everything you need for installation, including a 10′ right-angle USB Type-A to USB Type-C cable, and a magnetic quick release 1/4″-20 mount for attaching the ground station module to an existing tripod. Please note that you must use Alta Ground Control on your computer along with a long-range radio telemetry link to the Alta X, such as the FRX Pro for Alta X (not included). Without this long-range radio system, only GPS accuracy can be achieved.

• Multiband L1/L2 receiver
• IST8310 magnetometer
• BMP388 barometer
• Safety switch with RGB LED
• Compatible with AltaSW 1.3+ and PX4 1.9+

The Futaba 14SG controller works with the included receiver to give you full wireless control over the Alta X drone in Mode 2 configuration. If you set up an optional transmitter in the Alta X, you can utilize the Futaba’s built-in display to receive and monitor flight telemetry.

The FRX Pro long-range radio is engineered to transmit flight telemetry to an operator ground station from up to one mile away via a 900 MHz signal. Please note that this long-range radio is required for flight operations that involve QGroundControl (manual, altitude, or GPS mode flights).

• Range is dependent on signal power settings, RF environment, and line of sight
• Compatible with Apple- and Windows-based computer systems

The Auterion is the operating system of the Alta X. It’s designed to automate logging and compliance, support RTK use with photo logging, and work with the MAVSDK API for custom software solutions. Custom solutions you design can be sent from the ground via radio, or onboard via an optional expansion computer.

Some of the optional modules and accessories you can mount onto the Alta X require power, and the Alta X is made to provide that with three battery power outputs. Each output provides 10A of current, and you can choose from a 5 or 12V DC-to-DC connection.
