Check out the new rally drone footage! So sick.

How good would it be to capture Glen Helen like this! Or the long straights at Muddy Creek? Martin Mountain!

I fly drones, but mine do 100+MPH. If you're ever ridding at a track in Vic, give me a yell and I'll get some footage of you.

Old crappy vid, but it's the only one I have. I lost picture quality when I edited the footage. Was just a bit of practice before hitting the ST.


This was just a little race quad. The DJI Inspire (Like the one in the vid you posted) is heaps easier to fly.

This kid is the Aussie champ. He used a race quad in this video.


It won't be long until you can buy a camera quad that will follow you on the bike.

This is an old vid but It'll give you an idea of the tech and how close things are.

That's mental FTB! That Wolves one is hectic as.

They'd be able to pre-program the flight path right? So it just keep looping?

FTB that thing is crazy ! Almost to fast for the dirt bike. It's what I imagine a Go Pro would look like on an angry wasp. Thanks for sharing

Made me think of this one, doesn't get as close as the rally drone does though.

I agree that MX racing could so with some new and unusual angles - and I dont mean the fucking abysmal onboard 'Quad' shots they insist on using at some of the GPs!

I saw on TV a few weeks ago in a restaurant that they even have drone races now
