It’s insane how skilled drone enthusiasts have become at drone racing.
This video reveals some remarkably quick fliers zipping around a course that’s partly outdoors and partly inside a storage facility stacked with boxes. It’s shot from an HD video camera mounted on among the drones, an Impulse RC Alien 5, which has to clear hoops and make hairpin turns. It flies perfectly, up until a last-second midair crash with a rival.
Almost as amazing as the drone’s speed is the crystal-clear image supplied by the drone’s electronic camera, which is some of the best quality video footage I have ever seen from a drone. One YouTuber was likewise amazed, commenting “How is that even fucking possible.”.
Motherboard has actually covered the nascent sport of drone racing before, but learning the best ways to fly a drone includes a great deal of falling down and getting back up, with in some cases pricey repair works in between. When Motherboard checked out a drone racetrack in Canada, a guy who held a lap record for speed admitted he ‘d still never had the ability to complete a race without crashing.
It takes a lot of persistence, and practice, to get this good– and even this extremely experienced veteran drone racer still wipes out. So close.
