Freefly Astro Max Quick Release Landing Gear
The Astro Max Quick Release Landing Gear gives the Freefly Astro and Astro Max extra ground clearance and fast field setup. Its 290 mm lightweight carbon fiber legs add 54 mm (2.13 in) of chassis-to-ground clearance over the 230 mm folding gear, plus a wider landing footprint, which is what makes room for larger payloads underneath. Quick-release mounts with a red primary lock lever let you install or remove the legs in seconds while keeping a secure hold for demanding operations. Choose the full four-leg set to upgrade an aircraft, or the two-leg pair for spares and replacements.
Extended 290 mm carbon-fiber landing gear for Astro and Astro Max. 2.13 in more clearance, quick-release mounts, keyed legs. Available as a full 4-leg set or a 2-leg pair.

FAQ
Should I buy the 4-leg set or the 2-leg pair?
Buy the 4-leg full set if you are upgrading an aircraft from the original folding legs, since a complete aircraft uses four legs. Buy the 2-leg pair if you have already upgraded and just need spares or a replacement.
How much extra clearance does it add?
About 54 mm (2.13 in) of chassis-to-ground clearance compared with the 230 mm folding landing gear, along with a wider landing footprint. That added room is what lets larger Freefly Payloads fit underneath.
Do I need this to fly Freefly Payloads?
If you are flying the Astro Max with the Astro Max Isolator, you need extended landing gear like this to provide clearance for Freefly Payloads. It also helps for any setup where a payload needs more room beneath the aircraft.
Will it fit my older Astro?
Yes. The gear is backward compatible with the original Astro (Legacy), so you can convert an older aircraft to the quick-release extended legs.
How quickly can I install or remove the legs?
The quick-release mounts are built for rapid install and removal. Each mount has a red primary lock lever for an at-a-glance visual check, plus passive retention that holds the leg in place while the lever is secured. The legs are keyed so they orient correctly every time.
Does it pack down for travel?
Yes. The legs stow neatly in the Astro Compact Case for transport.
