Their isolated prop design allows for larger props so they can use fewer of them. Less blades increase efficiency. I think this is a trend moving away from Octo to hex to quad industry-wide for pro rigs.
@@Johow That assumes that a drive / motor / prop failing is a likely occurrence. In our statistical data it is now (we have tens of thousands of flight logs to analyze). The analogy would be that you should never make a car with only 4 wheels in case one falls off. The better (more efficient design) would be to just use 4 wheels and make damn sure one doesn't fall off! Saying its very dangerous is misleading as well. To my knowledge not a single person has been hurt from a quad rotor having a failed motor / drive / prop so there is no endpoint data to suggest this, just conjecture at this point.
@@fritz-the-jovial This is exactly right Fritz. We want the maximum disc area design that can still fit in a case that's easy to move around the world!
This is such a beautiful machine. Your team has really out-done themselves on designing the Alta X! Congrats
Thanks Fritz!
Gorgeous! Thanks for the detailed videos. What an awesome aerial platform - every detail so well thought out. Might have to come back to Alta!
What a beaut!!!
Im curious about the reasoning of moving from 8 rotors to 4?
Yes, and which one to get, Alta 8 Pro vs X? What are key differences ....

Never ever use a heavy lift QUADcopter. It has NO redundancy in case one drive train fails. It is VERY dangerous.

Where do you find the Serial Number on the Alta X?
Where are these drones made?
Whats the average and peak amperage the system pulls?
I could use this for motorcross filming
Latest price please?
Do you offer 868?
