Washington, D.C. 20590 Re: Request for Exemption under Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 and Part 11 of the Federal Aviation Regulations from Certain Provisions of 14 C.F.R.
Vision Reactor Productions LLC
Dear Sir or Madam: Pursuant to Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (the Reform Act) and 14 C.F.R. Part 11, Antonelli Law files this petition for exemption on behalf of Vision Reactor Productions LLC (“ Vision Reactor ”) an operator of Small Unmanned Air craft Systems (“UAs”) for the commercial purposes of aerial photography, videography, and closed-set cinematography. Specifically, petitioner seeks an exemption from the Federal Aviation Regulations (“FARs”) listed in Appendix A to allow commercial operati on of its UAs, so long as such operations are conducted within and under the conditions outlined herein or as may be established by the FAA in a grant of this petition. This request is substantially similar to other data collection petitions previously approved, and should be considered under the expedited summary grant procedure. Approval of the exemption for petitioner will allow operation of the DJI Phantom 3 and the Freefly Systems Alta for the proposed uses in Class G airspace nationwide, or as otherwise prescribed by an Air Traffic Organization (ATO) issued COA. These UAs have been previously approved for the proposed uses in the exemption grants identified in Section VII of the petition. The UAs covered by this petition are small battery-powered craft, weighing no more than 30 lbs. (13.6 kg), inclusive of battery and payload. Operation of the UAs under the strict conditions proposed below will provide an equivalent level of safety, as Congress intended, while still allowing commercial operations. Operations using the UAs are far safer than conventional operations conducted with helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft that weigh thousands of pounds, carry highly flammable fuel, and operate in close proximity to the ground, trees, infrastructure, and people. Congress directed the FAA to consider seven factors in deciding whether to approve Section 333 exemption petitions - size, weight, speed, operational capability, proximity to airports, proximity to populated areas, and operation within visual line of sight. In this case, each factor3 Table of Contents I. Publishable Summary

I. Publishable Summary Pursuant to 14 C.F.R. §11, the following summary is provided for publication in the Federal Register, should it be determined that publication is needed: Petitioner seeks an exemption from the following rules: 14 C.F.R 21(h); 14 C.F.R. 43.7; 14 C.F.R. 43.11; 14 C.F.R. 45.11; 14 C.F.R. 45.27; 14 C.F.R. 45.29; 14 C.F.R. 91.7(a); 14 C.F.R. 91.9(b)(2); 14 C.F.R. 91.9(c); 14 C.F.R. 91.103(b)(2); 14 C.F.R. 91.105; 14 C.F.R. 91.109; 14 C.F.R. 91.113(b); 14 C.F.R. 91.11 9 (c); 14 C.F.R. 91.121; 14 C.F.R. 91.151(a); 14 C.F.R. 91.203(a) and (b); 14 C.F.R. 215; 14 C.F.R. 91.403; 14 C.F.R. 91.405(a); 14 C.F.R. 91.407(a)(1); 14 C.F.R. 409(a)(1) and (2); and 14 C.F.R. 91.417(a) and (b) to operate commercially small unmanned ai rcraft systems (UAs) (30 lbs. or less). The UAs for which exemption is requested will be used for aerial photography, videography, and closed

- set cinematography in Class G airspace (unless otherwise prescribed by an ATO

- issued COA) under 400 feet above gr ound level (“AGL”) and under controlled conditions over restricted property. The requested exemption should be granted because operation of a small UA weighing no more than 30 lbs. (1 3.6 kg), inclusive of battery and payload , conducted in the strict condi tions outlined below, will provide an equivalent level of safety, while still allowing commercial operations. The lightweight aircraft covered by the exemption are far safer than conventional operations conducted with helicopters and fixed

- wing aircraft we ighing thousands of pounds and carrying highly flammable fuel, and operating in close proximity to the ground and people. The seven factors Congress directed the FAA to consider when approving Section 333 exemption petitions

- size, weight, speed, operatio nal capability, proximity to airports, proximity to populated areas, and operation within visual line of sight

– each support the request. In particular, the aircraft are small, and will operate at slow speeds, and close to the ground. The substantial incr ease of safety and decrease of risk to human life, coupled with the low risk use of UAs to conduct these operations, weigh heavily in favor of granting the exemption.

AGL, travel horizontally to the predesignated home spot, then land. If the UA is above 65 ft. AGL, the UA will travel horizontally to the predesignated home spot, hover for 15 seconds, t hen land. In the event the Alta detects a loss of signal, it will automatically execute a Return

- to

- Home or Autoland as configured in the Alta app.

B. The Crew The crew will consist of a pilot in command (PIC) and a visual observer (VO). The PIC and VO will have been trained in operation of UAs generally and received up

- to

- date information on the UAs to be operated pursuant to this grant. The PIC will have, at a minimum, a sport pilot license and either a third class medical certificate or a U.S. driver’ s license. The specific conditions of the proposed exemption that relate to the training and characteristics of the crew are numbers 3 and 6

- 9 in Section V below. Each has been adopted or imposed by the FAA in numerous previous grants of Section 333 exem ption petitions. Please refer to Exhibit 1: Vision Reactor Productions Flight Operations Manual; Section 4: Flight Training and Certification /Re

- Certification.
C. Flight Conditions
The UAs will be used for aerial photography, videography, and closed

- set cinematography in Class G airspace (unless otherwise prescribed by an ATO

- issued COA) under 400 feet above ground level (“AGL”) and under controlled conditions over restricted property. Petitioner will work with the local FSDO when planning operations. Petitioner will only operate the UA in visual meteorological conditions (VMC). The UA will at all times be no less than 500 feet below and no less than 2,000 feet horizontally from a cloud, and petitioner will not conduct operations unless visibility is a t least 3 statute miles from the PIC. The flight crew will always make a safety assessment of the risk of every operation, and will only operate when it is determined that no hazards are present. The specific conditions of the proposed exemption that relate to the flight conditions in which the UA will be operated are numbers 2, 4, 16, and 28

- 29 in Section V below. Each has been adopted or imposed by the FAA in numerous previous grants of Section 333 exemption petitions.
D. Flight Operations The purpos e of the UA flights for which exemption is requested will be for aerial photography, videography, and closed

- set cinematography. Every UA flight will use at minimum a two person flight crew: a PIC and a VO.8

Additionally, petitioner will follow DJI’s gui delines for flight operations, including DJI’s preflight guidelines, which are similar across DJI models.
For more information on Vision Reactor’s flight operations , please review the following sections of Exhibit 1: Vision Reactor Productions Flight Ope rations Manual: Section 1: Purpose Section 3: Safety Management System Section 6: Flight Operations The specific conditions of the proposed exemption that relate to flight operations are numbers 11

- 12, 17

- 25, and 32

- 34 in Section V below. Each has be en accepted or imposed by the FAA in numerous previous grants of Section 333 exemption petitions.
IV. Aircraft and Equivalent Level of Safety Petitioner proposes that the exemption apply to UAs that have the characteristics and that operate with the limitations proposed herein. These limitations provide for a level of safety at least equivalent to or higher than manned aircraft operations under the current regulatory structure. Section V below identifies the limitations and conditions to which petiti oner agrees to be bound when conducting commercial operations under a grant of this petition. Appendix A contains a matrix connecting (i) the specific proposed condition with (ii) the FAR provision for which it provides an equivalent level of safety and (i ii) one or more recent Section 333 exemption grants in which the FAA recognized this equivalent level of safety. Approval of the commercial operations outlined in this petition presents no national security issue. The PIC will possess, at minimum, a sport pilot’s certificate . Therefore he or she will have bee n subject to security screening by the Department of Homeland Security.
V. Proposed Conditions of the Exemption
1. The UAs, including battery and technical payload, will weigh no more than approximately 3 0 lbs. (13.6 kg).
2. UA operations under this exemption will be limited to conducting operations for the purpose of aerial photography, videography, and closed

- set cinematography in Class G airspace nationwide, unless otherwise prescribed by an ATO issued CO A.
3. Flights will be operated within line of sight of a PIC and VO.
4. Flights will be operated at an altitude of no more than 400 feet AGL, as indicated by the procedures specified in the operating documents. All altitudes reported to ATC must be in feet AGL.
5. The UAs will not be flown at an indicated airspeed exceeding 44 knots.
6. Minimum flight crew for each operation will consist of the UA PIC and a VO.
7. The PIC will possess, at a minimum, a sport pilot license and either a third class medical certifica te or a U.S. driver’s license.9

8. The petitioner will not permit any PIC to operate the UAs unless the PIC meets its qualification criteria and demonstrates the ability to safely operate the UAs in a manner consistent with how the UAs will be operated under this exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distances from persons, vessels, vehicles and structures. PIC qualification flight hours and currency will be logged in a manner consistent with 14 CFR §61.51(b). A recor d of the PIC training will be documented and made available upon request by the Administrator. Training operations will only be conducted during dedicated training sessions. During training, proficiency, and experience

- building flights, all persons not ess ential for flight operations will be considered nonparticipants, and the PIC will operate the UAs with appropriate distance from nonparticipants in accordance with 14 CFR § 91.119.
9. The VO will not perform any other duties beyond assisting the PIC with se eing and avoiding other air traffic and other ground based obstacles/obstructions, and will not be permitted to operate the camera or other instruments.
10. The PIC will be designated before the flight and will not be allowed to transfer his or her designatio n for the duration of the flight. The PIC will ensure that the VO can perform the functions prescribed in these conditions and the operating documents.
11. A briefing will be conducted in regard to the planned UA operations prior to each day’s activities. It will be mandatory that all personnel who will be performing duties in connection with the operations be present for this briefing.
12. Prior to each flight, the PIC will inspect the UAs, including the Ground Control Station, to ensure it is in a condition fo r safe flight. If the inspection reveals a condition that affects the safe operation of the UA, the PIC will not operate the UA until the necessary maintenance has been performed and the UA is found to be in a condition for safe flight. All maintenance and alterations will be properly documented in the aircraft records.
13. Petitioner will conduct a functional flight test on any UA that has undergone maintenance or alterations that affect the UA operation or flight characteristics, e.g. replacement of a flight critical component. The PIC who conducts the functional test flight will make an entry in the aircraft records.
14. The petitioner will carry out its maintenance, inspections, and record keeping requirements, in accordance with the UA manufacturer’s aircra ft/component, maintenance, overhaul, replacement, inspection, and life limit requirements set forth in the operating documents. Maintenance, inspection, alterations, and status of replacement/overhaul component parts will be noted in the aircraft records, including total time in service, description of work accomplished, and the signature of the authorized person returning the UA to service. The authorized person will make an entry in the aircraft record of the corrective action taken against discrepancies discovered between inspections.
15. The UAs will be operated within visual line of sight (VLOS) of the PIC and VO at all times. This requires the PIC to be able to use human vision unaided by any device other than corrective lenses. PIC and VO will at all tim es be able to communicate verbally. They will not be permitted to use electronic messaging or texting to communicate during flight operations.10

16. The PIC will not begin a flight unless (considering wind and forecast weather conditions) there is enough power to fly at normal cruising speed to the intended landing point and prepare to land with at least 25% battery power remaining.
17. Actual total flight time for each operational flight will result in no less than a 25% battery reserve. 18. The UAs will have the capability to abort a flight in case of unexpected obstacles or emergencies.
19. The UA will be programmed so that if it loses communications or loses its GPS signal, it will return to a pre

- determined location within the planned operat ing area and land or be recovered in accordance with the operating documents
20. If the UAs and their radio control link disconnect during flight, the system’s failsafe protection will be triggered and the multirotor will return to home and land automatically , rather than flying off uncontrollably or landing at an unknown location.
21. The operating documents required under 14 CFR §§ 91.9 and 91.203 will be maintained and available to the PIC at the Ground Control Station of the UA any time any UA is operating. These documents will be made available to the Administrator or any law enforcement official upon request. If a discrepancy exists between the conditions and limitations in the exemption grant and the procedures outlined in the operating documents, the gran t conditions and limitations will take precedence and will be followed. Otherwise, the petitioner will follow the procedures outlined in its operating documents. If it updates or revises its operating documents, it will present updated and revised document s to the Administrator upon request. If the petitioner determines that any update or revision would affect the basis upon which the FAA granted the exemption, then the Petitioner will petition for an amendment to the grant of exemption.
22. Petitioner will o btain written and/or oral permission from the landowners/authorized agents of the landowners over which flights will be conducted.
23. Petitioner will obtain all required permissions and permits from territorial, state, county or city jurisdictions, including local law enforcement, fire, or other appropriate governmental agencies.
24. UA operations will not be conducted during night, as defined in 14 CFR § 1.1. All operations will be conducted under visual meteorological conditions (VMC). Flights will not be con ducted under special visual flight rules (SVFR).
25. The petitioner will obtain an Air Traffic Organization (ATO) issued Certificate of Waiver or Authorization (COA) prior to conducting any operations under the grant of exemption. Petitioner will request a Notice to Airman (NOTAM) not more than 72 hours in advance, but not less than 24 hours prior to the operation. All operations will be conducted in accordance with airspace requirements in the ATO issued COA, including class of airspace, altitude level and potential transponder requirements.
26. The UAs will not be operated within 5 nautical miles of an airport reference point as denoted11

on a current FAA

- published aeronautical chart unless a letter of agreement with that airport’s management has been obtained , and the operation is conducted in accordance with a NOTAM as required by the operator’s COA. Any letter of agreement with the airport management will be made available to the Administrator upon request.
27. The UAs will not be operated less than 500 feet b elow, or less than 2,000 feet horizontally from, a cloud or when visibility is less than 3 statute miles from the PIC.
28. All operations shall be conducted in Class G airspace or as otherwise prescribed in an ATO issued COA.
29. All aircraft operated in accordance with this exemption will be identified by serial number, registered in accordance with 14 CFR part 47, and have identification (N

- Number) markings in accordance with 14 CFR part 45, Subpart C. Markings will be as large a s practicable.
30. Before conducting operations, petitioner will ensure that the radio frequency spectrum used for operation and control of the UAs complies with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) or other appropriate government oversight agency req uirements.
31. The UAs will remain clear and yield the right of way to all manned aviation operations and activities at all times.
32. The UAs will not be operated by the PIC from any moving device or vehicle.
33. Petitioner will conduct all flight operations at least 500 feet from all nonparticipating persons, vessels, vehicles, and structures unless one of the following three conditions is met: a. Barriers or structures are present that sufficiently protect nonparticipating persons from the UA and/or debris in the event of an accident. The petitioner will ensure that nonparticipating persons remain under such protection. If a situation arises where nonparticipating persons leave such protection and are within 500 feet of the UA, the PIC will ensure that flight o perations cease immediately. b. The aircraft is operated near vessels, vehicles or structures where the owner/controller of such vessels, vehicles or structures has granted permission and the PIC has made a safety assessment of the risk of operating closer to those objects and determined that it does not present an undue hazard. c. Operations nearer to the PIC, VO, operator trainees or essential persons do not present an undue hazard to those persons per § 91.119(a).
34. Petitioner will report any incident, accident , or flight operation that transgresses the lateral or vertical boundaries of the operational area as defined by the applicable COA to the FAA's UAS Integration Office (AFS

- 80) within 24 hours. Petitioner will report accidents to the National Transportatio n Safety Board (NTSB) per instructions contained on the NTSB Web site: www.ntsb.gov

. When conducting operations for the purpose of closed

- set motion picture and television filming and production, petitioner will adhere to the following additional conditions and limitations: 35. The operator will have available at the ground control station site a copy of the Motion Picture and Television Operations Manual (MPTOM), included as Exhibit 2 : Vision Reactor’s Motion Picture and T elevision Flight Operations Manual, during all operations.12

36. At least 3 days before aerial filming, petitioner will submit a written Plan of Activities to the local Flight Standards District Office (FSDO) with jurisdiction over the area of proposed filming. The 3

- day notification may be waived with the concurrence o f the FSDO. The plan of activities will include at least the following: a) Dates and times for all flights; b) Name and phone number of the operator for the UAS aerial filming conducted under this grant of exemption; c) Name and phone number of the person responsi ble for the on

- scene operation of the UAS; d) Make, model, and serial or N

- Number of UAS to be used; e) Name and certificate number of UAS PICs involved in the aerial filming; f) A statement that the operator has obtained permission from property owners and/or local officials to conduct the filming production event; the list of those who gave permission must be made available to the inspector upon request; g) Signature of exemption holder or representative; and h) A description of the flight activity, including maps or diagrams of any area, city, town, county, and/or state over which filming will be conducted and the altitudes essential to accomplish the operation.
37. Flight operations may be conducted closer than 500 feet from participating persons consenting to be inv olved and necessary for the filming production, as specified in the MPTOM (Exhibit 2 ).
VI. Privacy There is little concern that the proposed flights will cause invasions of privacy. All flights will occur over either (a) public rights of way where there is n o expectation of privacy; or (b) over private property with permission of the landowner/authorized agent and consent of participating individuals. If data collected is made available for public view, all images containing uninvolved persons will be blurre d or blacked

- out. No attempt will be made to identify any individuals filmed during the flights except in cases where they are trespassing upon or damaging customer property, or interfering with the petitioner’s or its customers’ operations.
For more information regarding Vision Reactor’s privacy policy, please review Exhibit 1: Vision Reactor Productions Flight Operations Manual; Section 7: Privacy.
VII. Public Interest and Safety The planned UA use will increase ground safety for aerial photography, vid eography, and closed

- set cinematography. This type of data collection has previously been performed by manned aircraft or by individuals on the ground. Both are more time consuming and more expensive than using UAs. Use of manned aircraft poses enhanced ri sk to the pilot and onboard crew, who would be several hundred feet in the air. The enhanced safety and reduced environmental impact achieved using UAs and carrying no passengers or crew, rather than a manned aircraft of significantly greater mass, carry ing crew13

in addition to flammable fuel, gives the FAA good cause to find that the UA operation enabled by this exemption is in the public interest. Satisfaction of the criteria provided in Section 333 of the Reform Act of 2012

– size, weight, speed, opera ting capabilities, proximity to airports and populated areas and operation within visual line of sight and national security

– provide more than adequate justification for the grant of the requested exemption allowing commercial operation of petitioner’s U As for aerial photography, videography, and closed

- set cinematography pursuant to Vision Reactor’s rules of operation. A) Photography and Videography

PHANTOM 3 ADVANCED AIRCRAFT CAMERA REMOTE GO APPEASY TO FLY
Your Phantom 3 fits into your life and makes flying remarkably intuitive and easy. From takeoff to landing, it's completely under your control, responding to your commands while automatically handling the most complex aspects of safe, stable flight.

GPS-ASSISTED HOVER
Never lose track of your Phantom 3. GPS and GLONASS combine to make the Phantom 3 completely aware of its location and relation to you. It hovers more precisely, moves more accurately, and locks onto satellites faster. With the new availability of GLONASS, a minimum of 36 satellites are available to you around the world at any time. Through the DJI GO app, you can track its location on a live map, and record your takeoff point so you can bring it back to you with the tap of a finger.VISION POSITIONING SYSTEM
Your Phantom 3 literally helps you fly. It processes information from every sensor and completes complex calculations in real time, giving you a worry-free flight experience .

AUTOMATIC FLIGHT LOGS
Your Phantom 3 automatically logs and remembers the details of every flight you take. Complete flight route, flight time,

flight distance, flight location, and cached versions of any photos and videos you took during your flight are at your fingertips for future reference. At the same time, an advanced flight recorder constantly records data from all of your Phantom 3’s internal mechanisms, which can be easily shared with the DJI support team if you ever have any questions or issues.INTELLIGENT BATTERY
Higher voltage, more energy, and greater power combine to give you a vastly improved flight experience. This upgraded Intelligent Flight Battery has built-in sensors and bright LEDs that let you know the status and remaining power of your battery in real time. Your Phantom 3 continuously calculates its current distance from you and the amount of power needed to return, so you always know how long you can continue flying and when it is time to recharge.

UNMATCHED PROPULSION
Each motor has the power and precision needed to give you the best flight experience possible. Brushless motors work with lightning-fast ESCs to make your Phantom 3 fast, agile, and responsive. These powerful motors give you the ability to speed up, quickly increase or decrease altitude, and stop immediately. DJI’s powerful air braking mechanisms stop your Phantom 3 instantly , making it hover in place as soon as you release the control sticks. Aerodynamic self-tightening propellers boost thrust and stay firmly in place no matter how you fly.INTELLIGENT, EASY TO FLY SYSTEM
Your Phantom 3 literally helps you fly. It processes information from every sensor and completes complex calculations in real time, giving you a worry-free flight experience .

Follows Your Commands Instantly Orders Your Phantom 3 To Stop And Hover In Place When You Release The Control Sticks

Allows Customized Control Settings To Fit Your Preferences Enables Your Phantom 3 To Return To You Whenever NeededMAIN CONTROLLER
Processing and analyzing flight data in real time takes serious power. The Main Controller is the control center of your Phantom 3. It collects data from the entire system, including motor speed, GPS location, your command inputs, and data from automatic sensors, and analyzes it all to tell your Phantom 3 exactly how to behave at any given moment.



# IMU

INERTIAL MEASUREMENT UNIT Keeping your Phantom 3 stable and flying the way you want it to is the Inertial Measurement Unit. Inside is a 6-axis gyroscope and an accelerometer that records and relays even the smallest changes in tilt and movement. It is constantly at work, detecting the slightest changes and compensating for them automatically.

# ESCs

ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROLLERS Motor speed is critical to flight, and each motor is managed individually by the Electronic Speed Controllers. ESCs not only relay vital motor speed information to the Main Controller, they also send commands back to the motors based on your input. This constant communication keeps your Phantom stable in flight, and also helps you achieve any flight movement, from gentle pans to rapid acceleration.

RETURN TO HOME
Bringing your Phantom 3 back to you is as simple as pressing a button on the remote or within the Pilot app. Your system automatically remembers* the point at which it took off, and returns and lands safely at this point when you command it to Return to Home.*When a sufficient GPS connection is available. 

SDK DEVELOPMENT
Have a new idea that requires a view from the sky? Develop your own app by using the DJI Software Development Kit. The Phantom 3 platform is fully open and allows you to program apps that:

CONTROL THE CAMERA Take pictures, record video, and control camera tilt and settings, all based on your app’s needs. ACCESS REAL-TIME FOOTAGE Record and analyze your Phantom 3’s live HD video stream. Use this real-time visual information to make your app more powerful and useful. GATHER FLIGHT DATA Full flight telemetry, including the Phantom 3’s live altitude, speed, distance, and more, is available to your app.BUY PHANTOM 3 ADVANCED

PHANTOM 3 PROFESSIONAL AIRCRAFT CAMERA REMOTE GO APPEASY TO FLY
Your Phantom 3 fits into your life and makes flying remarkably intuitive and easy. From takeoff to landing, it's completely under your control, responding to your

commands while automatically handling the most complex aspects of safe, stable flight.

GPS-ASSISTED HOVER
Never lose track of your Phantom 3. GPS and GLONASS combine to make the Phantom 3 completely aware of its location and relation to you. It hovers more precisely, moves more accurately, and locks onto satellites faster. With the new availability of GLONASS, a minimum of 36 satellites are available to you around the world at any time.

Through the DJI GO app, you can track its location on a live map, and record your takeoff point so you can bring it back to you with the tap of a finger.VISION POSITIONING SYSTEM
Your Phantom 3 literally helps you fly. It processes information from every sensor and completes complex calculations in real time, giving you a worry-free flight experience .

AUTOMATIC FLIGHT LOGSYour Phantom 3 automatically logs and remembers the details of every flight you take. Complete flight route, flight time, flight distance, flight location, and cached versions of any photos and videos you took during your flight are at your fingertips for future reference. At the same time, an advanced flight recorder constantly records data from all of your Phantom 3’s internal mechanisms, which can be easily shared with the DJI support team if you ever have any questions or issues.

INTELLIGENT BATTERY
Higher voltage, more energy, and greater power combine to give you a vastly improved flight experience. This upgraded Intelligent Flight Battery has built-in sensors and bright LEDs that let you know the status and remaining power of your battery in real time. Your Phantom 3 continuously calculates its current distance from you and the amount of power needed to return, so you always know how long you can continue flying and when it is time to recharge.

UNMATCHED PROPULSIONEach motor has the power and precision needed to give you the best flight experience possible. Brushless motors work with lightning-fast ESCs to make your Phantom 3 fast, agile, and responsive. These powerful motors give you the ability to speed up, quickly increase or decrease altitude, and stop immediately. DJI’s powerful air braking mechanisms stop your Phantom 3 instantly , making it hover in place as soon as you release the control sticks. Aerodynamic self-tightening propellers boost thrust and stay firmly in place no matter how you fly.

INTELLIGENT, EASY TO FLY SYSTEM
Your Phantom 3 literally helps you fly. It processes information from every sensor and completes complex calculations in real time, giving you a worry-free flight experience .

Follows Your Commands Instantly Orders Your Phantom 3 To Stop And Hover In Place When You Release The Control SticksAllows Customized Control Settings To Fit Your Preferences Enables Your Phantom 3 To Return To You Whenever Needed

MAIN CONTROLLER
Processing and analyzing flight data in real time takes serious power. The Main Controller is the control center of your Phantom 3. It collects data from the entire system, including motor speed, GPS location, your command inputs, and data from automatic sensors, and analyzes it all to tell your Phantom 3 exactly how to behave at any given moment.

# IMU

INERTIAL MEASUREMENT UNIT Keeping your Phantom 3 stable and flying the way you want it to is the Inertial Measurement Unit. Inside is a 6-axis gyroscope and an accelerometer that records and relays even the smallest changes in tilt and movement. It is constantly at work, detecting the slightest changes and compensating for them automatically.



# ESCs

ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROLLERS Motor speed is critical to flight, and each motor is managed individually by the Electronic Speed Controllers. ESCs not only relay vital motor speed information to the Main Controller, they also send commands back to the motors based on your input. This constant communication keeps your Phantom stable in flight, and also helps you achieve any flight movement, from gentle pans to rapid acceleration.

RETURN TO HOME
Bringing your Phantom 3 back to you is as simple as pressing a button on the remote or within the Pilot app. Your system automatically remembers* the point at which it took off, and returns and lands safely at this point when you command it to Return to Home.*When a sufficient GPS connection is available. 

SDK DEVELOPMENT
Have a new idea that requires a view from the sky? Develop your own app by using the DJI Software Development Kit. The Phantom 3 platform is fully open and allows you to program apps that:BUY PHANTOM 3 PROFESSIONAL

Weather Resistant

The ALTA features a lightweight molded plastic enclosure to cover the fight control and power distribution board to protect them from the elements.

Flight Time

Effcient 18-inch props, optimized propulsion system, and lightweight carbon fber frame all add up to exceptional fight times while carrying impressive payloads.

Vibration Isolation

Freefy pioneered the adjustable o-ring isolation design on the CineStar , and we've improved it further for the ALTA by upgrading the design to be tool less and quick release. Testing

Each and every ALTA endures a barrage of component and system level tests designed to weed out items that do not meet our strict quality control levels. After passing this gauntlet of tests, each ALTA is test fown by a Freefy test pilot to ensure each ALTA fies as well as our personal machines.

Quick Release

We hear from customers each and every day that our Toad in the Hole quick release system has dramatically improved their speed and fexibility on set. We decided early that the ALTA would utilize the TITH quick release on both the top and bottom of the drone, allowing unparalleled speed, fexibility, and creativity.    INNOVATIVE AGILE INTELLIGENT DEPENDABLE SPECS    BUY FREEFLY, M ō VI, ALTA, TERO, WEDGE, MIMIC, the wing logo and all other trademarks, service marks, trade names logos, and product names of Freefy Systems used on this site are trademarks or registered trademarks of Freefy Systems Inc. in the USA and other countries.
