GNSS Antenna Mast

Installing Antenna Mast

GRYFN Payloads rely on high-quality GNSS inertial navigation data. The Freefly Alta X must have an antenna mast, antenna, and cable installed to connect to the GNSS receiver on-board the payloads.

To begin installation of the GNSS antenna components:

1. Install the antenna adapter onto the antenna mast using the two screw holes at the top of the antenna mast

2. Locate the free mounting point at the back right of the aircraft, just beside the battery terminals

3. Attach the antenna mast to the mounting area using the four included screws

4. Feed the coaxial cable through the antenna mast adapter

5. Screw the antenna onto the cable

6. Feed the coaxial cable through the center of the UAV, so it is accessible under the UAV where the payload will mount
