The Ultimate Perspective to Spectate a Drone Race



We were out at the Bill Lear Innovator’s cup, and I saw “Sky” attempting to film the drone race with a chase quad just like this. I asked him if I could steal his idea, reelsteady it, and see what the product would look like. ANd HOLY COW I think that this is some of the most compelling drone racing footage I’ve ever seen!

  1. Wow it looks amazing!! Very professional!
    It looks like something a very large company would pay someone $10,000 to film. Keep it up! ?????

  2. Amazing video dude, you’re right it’s an awesome perspective, but I wouldn’t say it’s the Ultimate? Not for spectators. I think for DRL/DCL night time racing filmed from just above with a DJI would be the Ultimate perspective, each drone has a different colour so it would be nice to see the Trail’s (like the sims) from that perspective, worth a try Nurk? ? awesome Vid. ?

  3. Trying to follow friends is so hard to do but it’s also one of my favorite things to try when flying. Seeing the ground, trees, and sky all at the same time is really awesome.

  4. If the pilot of the chase cam quad gets to close to the racing line I feel it could create some unpredictable mid airs which is the only issue I see with this type of footage. But it is captivating footage that I've never seen or thought of before ?

  5. Great use case for that xclass. Hi-def, easy to see the platform for the racers and since you aren't trying to hit any gaps the size is irrelevant.
