Thanks! We love what we do

Most of this promo video is just talk, show the specs and details.

@@_BL4CKB1RD_ that was my point, this isn't about an yearly spec update. It's about long term vision and support, and growing the product along with the users. Of course, not everything here is perfect, plenty of issues.

Especially with only 28min flight time. That’s like DJI phantom flight time

@@_BL4CKB1RD_ its carrying a 61MP imager and pro lenses ding dong....28min flight time for this image quality is insane

@@tabbfirchau1 yea for US technology. Let’s just close ourselves to the rest of the world. Also beanz

@@tabbfirchau1No, it’s not. DJI’s comparable drone would be their Matrice 350 RTK which has a max flight time of 55 minutes and has a payload of 6 lbs, transmission range of 20km. Matrice 350 similar in size, but its purpose is commercial. So, yea…if they want to compete, they need to…compete…with their competitors.

@@_BL4CKB1RD_ "US" developed 🤣 I see chinese characters on the testing machines yall use to develop this technology lmao

And you think they will be open and bold enough to answer such questions?

@@JoshConnectMedia If they're not involved, they probably will make a statement, to get out in front of the negative press that's going to be hitting the US manufacturers that are paying politicians to push for laws banning their competitors products.

Odd,.. I put a reply here, and now it's gone. Josh, I think they will want to, so not to get lumped in to the same economic downturn of customers walking away, as those sponsoring the action are going to receive.

@@PiDsPagePrototypes Let's hope. I think all we could do is to follow the money.

@@JoshConnectMedia ALWAYS follow the money!

This seems a DJI M30 competitor with 4x the price, lol.

Another underdog spending money to ban the superior competitor?

Not the same price bracket though (excluding DJI Inspire).

FreeFly has been around for a long time and the original astro is a couple years old now. I don't see any connection Between Astro Prime and the anti-chinese drone bills in Congress now.

Y'all better step up production and lower the price. $20000 is a little pricey. We don't need a hand crafted "Bentley" drone.

And we the customers are enabling it by buying these subpar overpriced products

Thanks! We need to get you on a drone shoot to see what kind of magic you come up with!

@@tabbfirchau1 I'd be psyched to! Anything you want to involve me with I'm here for it. Best gear in the game

Mostly, Skydio. Maybe these guys also chipped in.

​@@vadimus2007I'd love to see Freefly make a public statement on any involvement in that.

I’m not some magatard, with an anti China hard on, but you have an iq under 100 if you fault an American company for lobbying their government to ban foreign competition, after we just spent 30 years having our entire economy taken & handed to a 3rd world country with dirt floors, so they can undercut us.

@@vadimus2007 I believe GoPro is aiding Skydio in the ban

Skydio

ow shh!!T bro spittin fact

DJI has done nothing to ensure user data safety. Go cry on their page.

@@motionsick evidence please. I am not crying - i guess if you cant make a better drone just ban the competition .. right? American drones have crap cameras at five times the price - do make up BS conspiracy theories to get ignorant politicians to get rid of the innovators.

@@motionsick The problem with your statement is you cannot prove ANY data from a DJI in not already secure. Congress is currently trying to declassify the so-called secret intel showing some risk of using DJI drones. Do you have access to the top secret FBI data? I've owned every DJI drone since the F450. THEY DO NOT SEND DATA TO ANYONE (unless you turn on the flight log sync as an option)! I've port sniffed, port and socket monitored, etc... Not once did any of my DJI drones every attempt to "call home". So I assume the FBI has more info that NONE OF US are even aware of. Or... its all BS created by USA Drone Manufacture's Lobbyists. hmm Provide a link to anyone that can prove data is not secure on a DJI drone. Also, DJI DID do something to help all the cry babies calm down, the turned off the ability to sync flight data. Kinda sucks for those of us the rely on that data after jobs, but whatever now we just copy files manually. I hate using a Chinese Drones for work, but they are the only company on Earth that makes good drones at a good price. Freefly Systems is no where near where they need to be to really compete, but I sure hope they get there! They could offer this drone with a 80% off discount and it would still be too spendy for small DPS's.

Astro is a work drone, not some selfie toy. It flies better than any other drone on the market. You get what you pay with drones and I wouldn't trust any platform more with valuable payloads.

Ublox F9P - awesome tech!

@@tabbfirchau1 Awesome - do you set up your own local base station? Or receive corrections via Skylark, etc?

@@tabbfirchau1 Awesome - do you set up your own local base station, or do you use a corrections service like Skylark, etc?

I think it may cut your toast and scramble your eggs!?

28K is the cost of a breakfast sandwich and coffee these days, this is a bargain!

Revolution Per Minute Per Second (rpm/s) is a unit in the category of Angular acceleration.

@@freeflysystems If you really want to lose your mind try saying RPM/s/s a few times quickly!

⁠@@freeflysystemsawesome, I’ve never heard that before. Super cool!

​@@freeflysystemsWould that be the type of 'second' that divides in to arc-seconds, or multiplies in to degrees? (rather then milliseconds or minutes)

​@PiDsPagePrototypes it's the unit of time. For example, being capable of 1 RPM/second means your rotor can change its rate of rotation, measured in RPM, by 1 each second.

Tarot copied us back in the day ding dong

@@tabbfirchau1 I seriously doubt that because I was purchasing and building TAROT drones from FOXTECH in 2013.

@@SoCalFreelancewe started in 2011 ding dong

@@tabbfirchau1 TAROT has been selling carbon fiber multicopter frames since at least 2009. Stop trying to pass off their frames and camera mounts as yours.

Thanks! Swan neck booms is what we call them internally

28min flight time

Bruh, DJI can fly almost an hour. Nothing too special about larger blades also

At the system level if you pay attention to details you can have big, slow, efficient props with awesome control bandwidth (more than needed) which is what we did here. Astro is substantially more precise than a big single rotor with 700mm or 800mm blades spinning 1000 to 1300 RPM.

It's a great drone as well!

Its like a mavic in the same way you are like the Rock

@@tabbfirchau1 lol brilliant sir

Lololol

...but premium and quality as all get out..

Wow😅

Not even close - Aerovironment is the original OG

200 000 revolutions per second😂

That's about 12 000 000 rpm😅

Revolution Per Minute Per Second (rpm/s) is a unit in the category of Angular acceleration.

Seems like some big talk to me

@@_BL4CKB1RD_ So buy one and measure it....prove us wrong big talker!

It's ultra capitalism but anti free-market.

@@dkny2980 i thought we lived in the free market capital of the universe

Would love to, but not that easy.....

Thanks!

Why would you pay 3x the price for not as good tech

​@@_BL4CKB1RD_ By eliminating the competition the US manufacturer of drones can set whatever price they want to. They'll never compete with DJI especially with a workforce of 15 people 😅

Not trying to - we are providing different solutions points for industry.

ya matrice runs laps around this thing for a fraction of the price. this seems like a ploy to prey on the unlimited budgets of government agencies, these aren't for consumers or small business.

We didn't ban anyone

@@tabbfirchau1 yeah I know, when I said they, I meant government, not you. Sorry for misleading information.

Maybe you shouldn’t if you live in the US… they are about to get banned.

Not after they bribe FCC to revoke their certificates...

That’s because there drones are mainly for company’s not the everyday consumer. Company’s don’t care if it looks pretty.

You suck compared to DJI also FYI, so does every company on earth in some way

@@tabbfirchau1 hey hey hey, don’t blast off on that random internet dude. It’s not like this company is gonna give you a pat on the back, random internet dude. Beanz

I think the boys in Ukraine have developed systems that work better for their purposes at a far lower price point... #babayaga

I fear you have bad taste

I started in drones before DJI ding dong
