BENEFITS OF DRONES AT SPORTING EVENTS
▸ Aerial perspective - new - interesting
▸ More cost effective than a helicopter ▸ Can give coverage in hard to reach
places - sailing - off-road
▸ Coverage over large distances
(compared to other methods)
▸ Live coverage possibilities
CASE STUDY
THE BRIEF
▸ Live coverage
▸ Cover large areas of the hill climb (as much as possible) ▸ Film and make a highlights video for the client
CHALLENGES…
▸ Massive crowds ▸ Air Traffic ▸ Scale of event (2km + distance to
OB truck)
▸ 2km + distance to unit base ▸ Only 2 flight teams ▸ Few take off areas
2.5km
CONTINUOUS FLIGHT…
▸ Multiple teams ▸ Multiple drones ▸ Loads of batteries ▸ Charging facilities ▸ Cost ▸ Length of time?? (games aren’t so
bad, motorsport can last hours?)
REFLECTIONS…
