Sporting event coverage
Dynamic aerial footage of cycling, trail running, sailing, motorsport or watersports, following the event in motion without breaking its rhythm.

Drone service in Mallorca
The FPV drone flies where neither a camera bike nor a cable rig can go. That is where sport really looks like sport.
Mallorca is a first-rate sporting stage: cycling in the Tramuntana, trail running on the Puig Major, sailing in the bay of Palma, triathlon in Alcúdia. All of it has been filmed a thousand times from the roadside. With an FPV drone it is filmed from inside.
We fly tracking the athlete at real speed, entering tight corners and passing through gaps a conventional drone cannot fit. We record at high frame rates so slow motion stays sharp, and we deliver both the edit and the individual clips for social.
At events with spectators we fly with a flight plan agreed with the organisers, defined exclusion zones and public liability insurance. No shot justifies flying over people without authorisation.
What is included
Dynamic aerial footage of cycling, trail running, sailing, motorsport or watersports, following the event in motion without breaking its rhythm.
Climbing, canyoning, kayaking or mountain routes: the drone puts the viewer at the real scale of the terrain.
High-impact material made for social and advertising, with the brand visible and the format already adapted to each channel.
We record in 4K and 6K at high frame rates so slow motion comes out clean, not interpolated.
Cuts of 15 to 30 seconds in 9:16, edited and graded, delivered the same day if needed.
Flight plan, exclusion zones and timings agreed before the event, with insurance and paperwork in order.
Benefits
A shot descending with a cyclist through a bend at Sa Calobra puts the viewer on the bike. You do not get that with a telephoto lens.
Flying FPV while tracking a moving target is not the same as flying static. It is a different discipline and we have years in it.
If the event needs hot content for social, we deliver edited cuts without waiting for the final edit.
We always carry more than one aircraft and spare batteries. A sporting event does not happen again tomorrow.
Case studies
A day of coverage starts at €450. What moves the price is not so much the duration as the coordination: a closed-circuit event with one take-off point is the simple case; a cycling event covering 40 kilometres of open road demands several flying points, moves between them and more planning with the organisers. Send us the route and the programme and you get a fixed price within 24 hours.
Only with specific authorisation and additional safety measures — and it is almost never needed: flying outside the crowd, angled towards the action, gives a better shot and zero risk. The flight plan agreed with the organisers defines the exclusion zones, take-off points and altitudes per section.
Yes — that is exactly what the FPV drone is for: it accompanies the moving subject, takes the corners with them and passes through gaps a conventional drone cannot fit. We need a closed or controlled stretch and a briefing with the athlete or driver to agree the line and the signals. We record at high frame rates so the slow motion comes out clean.
An event cannot be rescheduled, so we work with a plan B: FPV handles considerably more wind than a conventional drone, and if it still cannot be flown safely we cover the event from the ground with a gimbal at the key points and deduct the aerial part from the quote. That gets decided with you on site — not as a surprise on the invoice.
Yes, and at events it is the norm: vertical cuts of 15 to 30 seconds, edited and graded, ready for social media two to three hours after the race. The fully graded highlights piece arrives within 72 hours. If a sponsor needs a specific format, it is agreed in the briefing.
Yes. For stage races or regattas we plan the coverage day by day with the organisers: a daily social summary each day and a final piece for the whole event. The day rate drops from the second day onwards because the planning is already done.
We handle the airspace: we are a registered operator and process whatever authorisations the route requires. The organiser provides permission for the venue or route and includes us in their safety briefing. If the council or the event's insurer asks for the drone documentation, we send it the same day.
