XM2 | SLG-20-AX | Retractable Landing Gear Set for Freefly Alta X

FINAL PRODUCTION RUN | LIMITED REMAINING UNITS
Ongoing technical support and spare parts will continue to be supported.

Built for serious Alta X operations - not hobby use.

The SLG-20-AX Retractable Landing Gear is a proven, production-ready upgrade for the Freefly Alta X, designed to improve clearance, reduce rigging time, and enable clean camera movement for high-end film, television, and industrial drone operations.

Developed, tested, and refined by XM2 Labs, the SLG-20-AX has been deployed globally by licensed UAV pilots on demanding shoots with heavy payloads - right up to the Alta X’s maximum lift capacity.

This is a turn-key, bolt-on system engineered for reliability, repeatability, and professional use in real-world conditions.

Technical Overview

Driven by powerful servo motors, the hard black-anodised SLG-20 modules attach quad struts and carbon fibre tubing to custom adapter plates designed specifically for the Alta X frame.

  • Vertical tubes: 650 mm
  • Horizontal tubes: 600 mm
  • Overall system weight: 2010 grams (71 oz)

Each unit is assembled, calibrated, and tested in-house to ensure synchronized operation and long-term reliability.

What’s Included

  • SLG-20 retractable landing gear modules
  • Carbon fibre tubes (vertical and horizontal)
  • Parallel quick-release mechanisms
  • Alta X mounting plates
  • Power supplies
  • Wiring and cables

Proven in the Field

The SLG-20-AX has been successfully tested and operated worldwide by professional UAV pilots across film, television, and industrial applications - in demanding environments and under real production pressures.

This is not a prototype or concept product.

It is a battle-tested upgrade trusted on real jobs.

Titanium Gear Hitec Servos

We incorporated high torque, titanium gear Hitec servos for optimal take-off and landing. The XM2 Labs engineers fully calibrate and pre-program the servos in-house. When the legs are up or down in-flight, the servos are turned off and locked out by the springs for minimal power draw.

Rubber springs and conformal coated electronics were installed to help resist corrosion.

Synchronized Quad Motor Operation

SLG-20 modules are made and calibrated for synchronized quad motor operation (two motors driving each leg) and specifically to be used in tandem Freefly’s Alta X and custom heavy lift drones.

XM2 Labs developed the SLG-20 modules over a two years period, and specifically for robust, heavy-lift operation.

Support & Longevity

Although this is the final production run, ongoing support and spare parts availability will continue.

XM2 Labs products are designed to be serviceable, supported, and usable long after purchase - because downtime on professional sets is not an option.
