YouTube Crazy drone footage from Gridlife Road Atlanta

[Intel]

So Gridlife was at Road Atlanta this past weekend. Not a huge drift fan but I know want drone footage of all the racing.

jesus, thats impressive as fuck.

 

[Mook]

The drone flying.

jesus, thats impressive as fuck.

Yeah first time for me of seeing somebody that good at it.

 

[Pressure Ratio]

Same here.

I wonder how that was done. One guy flying and another guy manning the camera direction? A set up where the camera has a target that it follows? Multiple cameras that they edit together as one shot? Because that was pretty great following.

 

[Tight Lines]

Wonder if there is a tracer or homing signal in the car/cars that feeds the drone.

Disclaimer-I didn’t watch the video as I am at work.

 

[GTPpower]

Wow. That's like watching Forza in real life.

 

[DEEZUZ]

Sick as fuck

 

[Gav'sPurpleZ]

Wow. That's like watching Forza in real life.

seriously i thought it was a video game

Probably using GPS tracking to follow. I have a cheap drone that has a mode where it will follow my phone and the controller.

Must be FPV.

Came in expecting 10,000 ft drone footage. Got the opposite. Awesome.

Actually, the way the camera rolls and pans makes it seem like its locked to a forward position on the drone.

I think its just one guy, with maybe a spotter letting him know about the objects near the drone the pilot can't see.

The FPV drones can be controlled really well if the pilot is good

I watched it again and you are probably right. Watching it the first time I thought there were a couple of times it looked like the camera rotated. Like when it goes over the bridge. But watching it again I think you are right and it is just the drone changing directions.

Still pretty skilled as I don't see many videos of drones being flown like that. Especially so close to the action.

Have you ever watched any of the FPV Drone Races? Crazy acrobatics.

There is a whole racing league.

I remember seeing races guys did in the forest. Then some of those indoor races early on. It probably has gotten much more exciting. What I saw was hoops on a course that they basically changed direction and some elevation to make. I can imagine that it is much more exciting now.

 

[IDAFC21]

Holy shit that was awesome.

i'm under the impression drones can do a lot of things themselves these days

i thought it would be cool to get some kind of follow me drone to make car or kart track vids cooler, although at the time i didn't think they could keep up, probably just fine with karts but cars still questionable even with enclosed track. although i don't think most places would allow it to fly around for fear of it falling onto the track for some reason and causing a ruckus.

sweet footage
