HOW DRONE SPORTS ARE GROWING IN POPULARITY
2
  • Drones entered the sporting arena a few years
    back, and as technology advances, the
    opportunities for expanding their use within the
    field of e-sports, looks set to speed up and
    really take off. Pardon the pun.
  • Drone racing
  • Drone racing has been around for a while and
    seemed like a natural progression considering the
    availability of devices and how anyone can
    potentially pilot one, and the DRL or Drone
    Racing League was even created. The league
    organizes races all over the world and films them
    to stream online some events have even been
    shown on TV stations like ESPN.

  • With the camera that each racing drone comes
    equipped with, spectators can see the race from
    the same viewpoint as the pilot, making it more
    dramatic as images are streamed live to FPV or
    first person view goggles that the pilots wear.
    Not only does this make it more thrilling for
    spectators, but the pilot is given the sensation
    of sitting right on the tip of the drone as it
    zooms around the stadium, warehouse or marquee.
  • Some drones with the newest technology can fly at
    speeds of up to 160 miles an hour, making it even
    harder to keep your eyes on the racers and
    establish who is in the lead. Affordable drones
    are encouraging sporting pilots

  • With the cost of drones and the technology
    associated with them decreasing swiftly, more and
    more members of the public will be able to afford
    to buy a drone and compete with it in a sporting
    venue. With packages at entry level costing
    little more than a couple of hundred of bucks,
    more people will be encouraged to give it a go,
    and as industry insiders tell us, the best way to
    start out in drone racing is to take part in one.
  • Drones and the changing face of how we watch
    sports
  • While helicopters have been used to record
    sporting events such as surfing competitions and
    golf tournaments, they will never be able to
    record events with

5
  • the dexterity and ease of a drone, and of course
    the cost and organisation involved is far
    greater. With their ability to film virtually
    anywhere, they really are changing the way we
    watch sports, and spectators are given an intense
    and far more emotive viewing experience.
  • Drone sports and social media
  • Online channels such as YouTube, Twitch, Facebook
    and Twitter are important platforms for engaging
    with todays modern spectator, and drone sports
    and other forms of eSports are skilled at
    maximising their potential for engaging with
    audiences through such sites.

  • The future for sporting drones
  • Drones are already being used more frequently to
    film major sporting events and have been used in
    recent Winter Olympics to cover snowboarding and
    skiing competitions. With the FAA working on more
    lenient regulations for drone usage, it will soon
    mean that more of us can not only get our hands
    on affordable drones, but fly them with less
    restrictions, too. This can only be a positive
    step for drone sports, and their popularity is
    set to increase tenfold as prices go down, and
    technology gets better by the day.

  • So, if you want to be part of the sporting
    worlds newest phenomenon, why not get yourself a
    drone starter kit and register with your nearest
    club or association to get in on the high flying
    action!
