FPV Drone for Motorsports, Action and High-Speed Video

Chase photography at top speeds up to 200 km/h

With high-speed FPV (First Person View) chase drones, we capture motorsports, action scenes, and extreme sports at top speeds of up to 200 km/u. FPV drones offer unprecedented dynamics and agility to follow race cars, motorcycles, or athletes from very close range at eye level.

Custom High-Speed FPV Drones

For motorsports and fast chases, standard drones cannot keep up. We use specialized FPV drones designed and built by our own technical team in our custom drone workshop. Our racing systems accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 2 seconds. They carry professional camera payloads such as GoPro Hero 12 cameras, Insta360 cameras, or lightweight cinema cameras (e.g. Sony ZV-E10, RED Komodo) for uncompromised high-quality footage.

Experience & Workflow on the Track

Flying at high speeds inches away from a moving vehicle requires extreme concentration and a solid routine. Our certified cinema drone operators maintain a proven set and track workflow:

  • Site survey & test flights: Prior to filming, we map out the track, obstacles, and safe zones. We assess wind conditions and track layout for the optimal flight path.
  • Direct communication: The pilot and a dedicated visual observer (spotter) work closely with the director and drivers. We use reliable radio communication to perfectly coordinate the timing of the runs.
  • Chase vehicles & live links: When the track is extremely long, our pilots can operate from a high-speed chase vehicle (like an SUV or buggy). For live sports broadcasts, we provide real-time SDI feeds directly to the production truck via live broadcast drone links.

Safety & EU Specific License

High-speed FPV operations fall under the higher operational risk classes. Drone Department holds the required EASA Specific license (NLDoyhg6yl91zgtj). This allows us to operate legally and fully insured:

  • In close proximity to vehicles and persons on closed locations.
  • Within the CTR airspace of airports (where many tracks or venues are located).
  • With a dedicated visual observer (spotter) for maximum safety on set in compliance with European drone regulations.
Director's Tip: When planning a high-speed chase sequence, allow time for the driver and the FPV pilot to synchronize their speeds during practice runs. Read our insights on filming fast action sports and events with FPV drones.
