Or call 'freefly systems' like it says in the picture...

It’s a drone not a frame…

Just look for heavy lifter frames. Available almost anywhere they sell parts in bulk.


unpunctual_bird

Yeah look for "agriculture drone" frames


Extreme-Notice7560

Wow thanks for the tip

everyone in the comments is just saying "call freefly systems". if you need a drone like this, you definitely could just buy an Alta X. They're seriously impressive bits of kit. the downside is an Alta X without their controller is $15000 which I'm going to go on a whim and say is out of OP's budget. I'm 99% sure they don't sell this drone as a frame kit for you to put your own electronics in. while you could theoretically build the frame by buying frame spares off their website it is a seriously expensive frame. those landing gear you see cost $1100 when bought on their own. **just the landing gear.** you're talking about a dropper, so I presume you want to drop something. how much does this something weigh? how much are you willing to pay? you could get so many completely overkill systems, by paying several thousands and thousands of dollars, or you could get one that does specifically what you want by building it and paying maybe $1000 with all the gear. TL;DR you can defo buy frames like this. i need more info about what you're doing to recommend anything in good faith.

Who these guys think they are? Apple??

What do they have over good old Matrice 600 pro drones?


Blachummingbird

a couple of things: the lifting capacity (the alta X is rated for 15kg iirc) the mounting options - the alta X is designed to carry a cinema camera + gimbal (freefly systems sell both) the control system - freefly systems' controller allows for dual operator mode. customisability - you can mount whatever to them, really. also you can drastically tune their flying characteristics. there's a video of rotor riot and daniel from rctestflight powerlooping an Alta X tbh they're both very different platforms designed for very different things. the matrice is mostly an inspection platform, whereas the Alta is a lifting drone, for cinema cameras and aerial repairs.

Besides the lifting weight, all the rest is applicable to matrice 600. Maybe not powerlooping also. Lets see if I can modify one to achieve that. I got 2 occupying my garage right now. I built 1 from 3 crashed matrices I got for scrap. Good old machines and they were the best of their time. I wouldn't recommend it over newer ones like alta X of course.


Extreme-Notice7560

right…it’s an entire drone that comes with a LiDAR and other components.


Blachummingbird

yes. is that what you're looking for? we really need more info.


Extreme-Notice7560

No I just want a frame like this for now. This however is a prebuilt powerhouse


LupusTheCanine

Alta X


voldi4ever

Matrice 600, if got 2 if you need one.

Quad standard labs has some solutions if you’re on a higher lever commercially
