Action Sports

Action Sports and FPV go hand in hand these days, and we’ve been combining the two since the moment we put cameras on our drones. FPV Is 100% the best way to capture all of these sports close-up! We are massive action sports fans and practitioners ourselves, and between us we do mountain-biking, snowboarding, wakeboarding, kyte-surfing, wintsurfing, ice-skating and inlining. So it’s no surprise we ended up filming a lot of these sports ourselves!

The Challenges Filming action sports on FPV is quite easy to kind of make look cool, just because the action does the talking themselves. But when you want to get world-class shots, a high level of skill is needed to get super close to the athletes, match their motions, and tell the story that a good athlete deserves. There is a need to understand the athletes and their sport, to be able to do that. Often this also comes down to a relationship between the FPV pilot and athlete, as the latter needs to have full trust in the pilot to not disturb them in their sport and fly safely, while they potentially put their life on the line. Over the years, we’ve filmed hundreds of athletes, from mountainbikers to wingsuit pilots and have grown used to cooperating with them and pushing the limits of what’s possible with FPV drones, capturing athletes doing the same in their respective sports.

Swatch Nines We’ve been the main FPV team for the Swatch Nines ski/board and mountainbike competitions in the alps, spending 2 full weeks with these athletes on a mountain while they push the limits of the sports. Our continued collaboration with the Nines over 6 years has been a staple on our trackrecord of action-sports filming and has made us one of the most experienced action-sports FPV teams around.
