Care should be taken when storing ALTA Pro in its case to avoid damaging the
GPS antenna and the telemetry radio. When storing ALTA Pro in a non-
standard case, remove all antennas to ensure there is minimal/no contact
between the external electronics and the case.
Radio Calibration and Channel Mapping
ALTA Pro can be used with a variety of radio controllers. Different radio controllers can map
functions to different channels, so properly mapping controller channels to ALTA Pro
functions is an important step before flying. Radio calibration and channel mapping are
performed using the ALTA Pro QGroundControl program or app.
If you are uncertain about your radio channel mapping, obtain assistance from an
experienced pilot or from Freefly Customer Support.
Calibrating Radios Using ALTA Pro QGroundControl App
Calibrating any compatible radio is done using the ALTA Pro QGroundControl app. This only
needs to be done when using a new radio with the ALTA Pro; ALTA Pros that were bought
with a radio have already gone through the Calibration and Mapping procedures.
Power the ALTA Pro by plugging in a USB-C cable to the expansion port.
The expansion port is located under the closeout between booms 1 and
Once connected, the ALTA electronics will be powered and you may turn on the radio.
Open the ALTA QGroundControl program, navigate to the Radio tab in the Vehicle
Setup menu, and then initiate the radio calibration.
