The ALTA is the first cinema drone to allow mounting the camera on the top or bottom of the aircraft. We've named these two modes SkyView and GroundView. Shooting in SkyView is an entirely new experience, and has even seasoned Aerial operators grinning like they just captured their first aerial all over again. SkyView allows for unrestricted 360 degree pan coupled with the ability to point the camera straight up. We include a bottom mount battery cage that serves double duties as a landing gear platform and a quick release battery sled. We use redundant silicon battery straps to secure the battery to the plate to allow fast battery swaps without messing around with fiddly velcro. The quick release functionality keeps you in the air exploring the world from below... we know it’s going to take a few flights for your camera operator to get used to this new way of shooting.
