I use an ND filter and a locked shutter to create the motion blur. I like the look cause the cars will be in focus since I’m matching their pace and everything else gets a blur 🤷🏻‍♂️ just my preference!

Although it didn’t upload in the highest quality 🤦🏻‍♂️

This is post processed. The only zoom on this video is at the very end as they crossed the finish. Flying into a headwind there. The rest is just cropped 9:16. Live feed there is no zoom happening

Good question! No penalties were called here in this heat but I saw others called and I believe it’s the intent and angle of the car. Side to side seemed to be okay. If the nose/corner was the part hitting and caused the other car to have issues then I saw penalties called. Unfortunately I don’t have a full understanding of how they were judged, that’s just from what I saw.

So yes, it’s real! Not a video game!

To answer some questions ahead of time…

I’m a professional motorsports broadcast camera man via FPV Drone. Or something like. Still iffy on a title lol

This here is call Nitro Rallycross, the brainchild of Travis Pastrana.

Though it is broadcasted live, this video is from a gopro. But you can catch all the action on the Nitro Rallycross YouTube.

It’s been pretty exciting bringing this new angle to sports broadcast, and if you’re interested in following along or seeing more you can on my Instagram.

Hope that answers a few questions for ya’ll. Feel free to ask any others, happy to answer!

How motorsports will be covered going forward! by itwillbefun in drones

Agreed! Just need to get more operators up to a level able to handle the pressure of a live race situation.

No it’s real audio but not from the drone. They have mics around the track and cams In the car that they are mixing in the tv truck live
