You should, if you already haven't, watch some of the "professional" drone racing on TV. Talk about fast!

I didn't even know there was such a thing. I'll be sure to check it out, Wayne. Thanks!

I have watched this but I am always left wondering about the damage after a high speed crash. They never seem to tell you on tv and I am guessing these high speed drones are not cheap!

I'm sure you're absolutely correct. However, I'm willing to wager that the racers either aren't paying for them, or are getting paid enough to race them that, even if they destroy one, they still come out ahead financially.

I think it may have been edited for the crash at the end. Just my opinion as they are very expensive, a drone like that.

There are several news reports on that video now. There was no crash at the end. It just looks like that. The drone was connected to a Virtual Reality helmet... The pilot has been flying drones since 2014. There were 5 practice runs to determine the route. There were about 15 runs before they got a clean "take"... The drone makes a buzzing sound, so the audio was dubbed over and added in post production.
That's interesting to know. The only thing I heard about the video is that it was shot all in one take.

Correct... It was shot in one take... They did it about 20 times before they got the 1 take, though... The pilot and production company that made the video are receiving quite a bit of acclaim from the motion picture industry... It appears, this was a promotional video produced for that Bowling Entertainment Center to promote business post-Covid. Just shows the talent that local production companies have... That small drone film company is now being invited to work on major commercial projects.
