| Explore the gnarly landscape of Red Bull Rampage like you've never seen it before, through an FPV drone as the worlds best mountain bikers prepare for the hardest freeride event on earth. It's hard to fully understand how big these MTB jumps and drops are but this seriously helps.— Red Bull Bike |
Behind the scenes note - the drone pilot was actually unable to follow Strait and Zink’s gully line to the letter because the drone couldn’t handle the G-out at the bottom of it. Wild!
Can they do drone shots for the actual event? I was surprised they didn't in 2019, wondered if there was a reason for it

The pilot did a great job capturing the surrounding, but he did actually fly pretty safe and restrained as far as drones go (which makes sense considering people and all...). But tbh, the drone itself was not really on flying close to its limit.
If they are flying a freestyle quad for the live broadcast, I'd be interested to read what their setup is but you'd probably get good enough results from a 5" with a DJI Air Unit that streams at 1080p/60 FPS, and which weighs less than a standard GoPro. Would certainly look better than the not-so-great image from the live broadcast drone they had in Leogang this year.
