wheres the beers ?
Where’s the… spectators??
Wow tech has gone a long way. Can’t wait for what we’ll be doing as a species in ten years.
You would think by now the video feed would be faster and more clear!
Wheres the boof?
what a turn out
Well who won?
Seriously asking?
How can they see!? I get half of what they are flying with I crash
100th like from me 😛
Kirill Obraztsov very true
What a shitty feed for the pilots. A huge downside to racing indoors. Hats off to the pilots tho
Why is their video feed so bad?? I wouldn’t even be able to fly with it that bad
There’s no way that’s thier video feed. They wouldn’t make a single gate like that. Terrible coverage compared to drl. Is that the reason drl brings their own drones?
Its usually better than that. That’s the worst I’ve seen and this is a competition??? Wow..
Lier anying nonton nage
we only have 12
As a Canadian, I am fucking disappointed.
As a Canadian, I am fucking disappointed.
More clear – well done Champ.
No fpv real time? Split screen? Sweet event!
Awesome ?
How do they see with that terrible video feed?
online
That’s just a ground station, there feed will be much better than that
Troubled Drones oh ok. I was hoping it was something like that. I know I couldn’t fly with that feed. Thanks
First world games.
…spastic…amazingly…booooring…repetetive…childish…erratic…juvenile…unmature…stressed…just…
+Dalek *ding ding ding* – this looks boring as hell when watching in a view that isn’t FPV/POV. It looks sick in FPV/POV.
Stephen Lavella the video quality is significantly worse then what the pilots are actually seeing, dvr is always much worse then the video you get
The arenas definitely need to be bigger. Hopefully eventually courses for these tournaments will be giant and allow for much more compelling races. I think this can become a huge sport if the drones get a little bigger as well.
Very Scary. A.I. course learning could dramatically improve lap-times.
No noise cause noone is there and look at this place waste of money people starving
reminds me of the ssx snowboarding game on ps2
Surprised by the lack of quality in the FPV vodeo feed. How can you navigate with such poor video?
Support the sport and like like like thumbs up..
I know. I saw that and knew I couldn’t play this game. I guess the technology is not that well perfected yet and sport is only in it’s infancy. Notice how there are so few spectators for no one knows about it and I just stumbled on it by accident. It is so awesomely fun looking having great potential to develop into something truly great.
They can be in seats too and are probably around the camera area. The sport is so new in it’s infancy and the tech has much further development to go so it’s still a small hobby special interest group of young people. That would be so cool to be young again among this generation into all that I thought as a kid to only be science fiction for we didn’t have high tech yet when the original Nintendo was the so interesting I’d stay up all night. When you get older, the intriguing fascination factor is not so strong to play and play a video game nonstop despite something like the PS4 being like a science fiction dream come true where you might do it for 3 hours instead even if you have time. I don’t think I could watch this on a cell phone, but would rather go see it or watch it on one of those huge $250 4K TV’s widely available now for such a rock bottom price.
Right I was thinking that too. The technology and this new sport is only in it’s infancy. Looks like it will take off for there are good prize monies for the youthful players who need funds to participate and then sponsors will come about if there’s increase in spectators to maybe profit from advertising. However, bigger, faster, and more powerful drones could be dangerous where spectators may then have to view from behind a wire fish net screen. Hopefully political and military interests are not to be the future big time sponsors to develop it to get into kids heads with all that propaganda military patriotic brainwash and other funky messages of falsehoods.

It analog instead of digital. Digital has better resolution, but has really bad delay. Analog is older tech, so the res isnt as good. However, there is almost no delay, so they prefer to use that. In fpv drone racing digital would result in a crash 3 seconds before you even knew it happened
Why does the FPV video always look bad?
+verysuchwow true, but the feeds they’ve shown were way too bad for decent analog. Something was wrong there…

+Maverickx89 yea i wrote the comment before i watched the video. I think its because of the way they recorded them, but im not sure
@Maverickx89 yea i wrote the comment before i watched the video. I think its because of the way they recorded them, but im not sure
Make um bigger, put ppl in dum.
They have to use an analog link. It is more robust and has far lower latency. A digital link requires more power, weight and signal processing time(latency) that is generally not acceptable for racing. The cameras they are using are measured in Television lines(TVL). Most are in the 600TVL to 900TVL range. 480 was standard definition TV.
The DJI style drones (these are not drones btw, they cannot fly autonomously) use a digital link for better video quality as split second decisions are not an issue.
Another issue they run into, especially in a giant concrete room, is multipathing. This is the signal getting from the transmitter to the receiver via multiple signal propagation paths. These signals do not reach the receiver at exactly the same time. This causes interference. There are things that can help and reduce multipathing but not eliminate it. An alalog signal is far more tolerant of noise than a digital one.
Damn we said the same thing 50 yrs ago :/
This is the gayest thing ive ever seen
what size drones are these?
Dvr is always worse than real
70paladin2012 dvr is never as good as the actual thing
Crazy
This is a sport???????
This is a sport???????

so sad o ones there
Like # 420 Boy’s..A good sign from where I’m from..I’ll be dang if I just don’t dig this FPV Thing…Tiny Whoop Whoop..
“Where is the spectators”?
But yeah, they`re at home I guess, watching online, like us..
Anything becomes a sport when it`s competitive and popular enough lol, how about GOLF, or curling, or log tossing..?
Unlike all other games, like F1 Formula E, golf basket tennis football and pretty much ALL the other sports..
+e4Bc4Qf3Qf7 Not as bad as it is in THIS video, THIS footage is corrupted and broken..
320×240 Dvr from 2007 is better than this FOV..

Maybe nobody showed up because they went once before and the FOV was useless, so they didn`t bother :p

+A Frog The spectators would had been sitting around the camera filming it, right? While a small special interest group still yet out of it being a young sport in it’s infancy, there must had been spectators to the left, right, and behind the camera set up front and center? Why was the FOV useless?

+A Frog That also makes a lot of sense for I don’t go to any events despite living in a big city for I have the Google Fiber to watch it on and it’s just a $50 a month fee for all my entertainment in this case. Ball games, concerts, and Broadway shows are so expensive where I live and this isn’t NYC, but is the Salt City out West. Lion King Broadway production show tickets at Eccles theater were going for $550 last Fall. I want to see robots and high technology exhibitions more than anything. We have this Illuminate festival in November that is free to walk around viewing experimental electronic and esoteric kind of art in a walking street and inside galleries. A drone racing event would fit right on in Illuminate if it were organized.

THEY NEED CLEARVIEW RECEIVERS
Some higher quality or even fps footage would be more enjoyable
is there vtx footage really that shitty, that does not even look fun ,complete crap video feed..wow
Wow, the 7 people there look very excited!

+Michael Vaughan They were, look at the tripods at the 0:51 second mark
@Michael Vaughan They were, look at the tripods at the 0:51 second mark
whats with all the controlers ?
the word drone basically means its computer controled.
like if a company starts autmated dileveries that would be by drone but these are ALL remote controled
A.I. piloting would turn them into drones 🙂
No. “Drone” means that there isn’t a human pilot on board. This includes both remote controlled and computer controlled aircraft.
As amazing as these drone pilots are and the prize money at stake you cannot have a spectacle without people. It is like a NPC boring event. There needs to be spectators.
I was thinkin the same thing, must take some skywalker like reflexes with feed the pilots get
So what were the official podium positions?
+RollingStonedify that’s not the feed the pilots see in the goggles.. that shitty look if from the DVR..(fatsharks)
@RollingStonedify that’s not the feed the pilots see in the goggles.. that shitty look if from the DVR..(fatsharks)
+Michael Vaughan no they don’t.. they need good antennas and a pepperbox.. 🙂
@Michael Vaughan no they don’t.. they need good antennas and a pepperbox.. 🙂
So it’s the area they’re flying in with the metal definitely not helping the feed. DVR footage is always way worse than what the pilot see’s in real time and also apparently this is footage from a ground station? I’ve always wondered why the feed is so bad in these competitions but i guess amongst these comments it is answered. I’m sure there are other factors that come into play.
wooooow thats look fun !!!
“Pilots”… BAHAAHAHHA… naaah. operators… yes.
Pilot – “a person who operates the flying controls of an aircraft”.
Safe to say they are remote pilots just like the licence i have also calls me a remote pilot.
John Rodriguez you don’t die if you crash. So not a real pilot. Sorry to burst your bubble. You “operate” the controls of an aircraft that flies. So by that logic a kid flying a kite is a pilot too. ?♂️
@Maverickx89 it’s due to multipathing analog signal from the indoor arena. Usually place heavy with concrete, metal, trees, etc will makes the quality like what you see.
What do you call military drones? They are remotely controlled.
@Robert Dylon exactly
the military always call the ones like a plane that goes up & just circles for Arial surveillance ( without a controler ) a drone
they call the controlled ones UAV for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
ClearedToLand7 I know “ Pilots that couldn’t even complete a lap, these dudes are truly deserving of the name pilot.
If you can’t make this fun to watch, your sport will never grow at a healthy rate. I see empty seats. No good.
quintin raymond if there are pilots who couldn’t complete a lap. But with training and practice they could. It’s the old saying. I could do your job, but there’s no way you could do mine. You all forget what it actually takes to pilot an aircraft. Not just a little pod racer. But anyhow. You keep the dream alive. I never said these operators weren’t highly skilled. Because they are.
@ruspj What if I fly up in a 737 by myself, put it on autopilot and set it land itself(which they can do now days) and then jump out of the plane. The moment my feet leaves the plane can it be considered a drone?
Dunno. I didn’t invent the English language. But the word drone something controlled by computer. Something like the old ghosts from Pac man
@ruspj Sweet! My car is a drone! It has cruise control!
How could you make something so cool look lame?
Dang with video feed that fuzzy how the heck do they fly
This is epic!
I think you are right, it is not very appealing to watch right now. This event was private and closed for spectators tho. I was there flying for the winning team (Elefun) 🙂
All this happening while i have a little helicopter

This sport needs more attention.
THIS is how you do pit stops… no mandatory just make it so the racers have to decide what the best strategy is and how many they should do.
How do they see out of them goggles the quality is bad

I feel bad for those pilot’s eyes about the feed, it shouldn’t have been done indoors, it could be fine but it’s so dimly lit. Props for the pilots.
Anyone know where I can buy one of these but with a good camera to film with??
what the fuc*???
Wow!!! I haven’t seen racing like this since the boonta eve classic, on Tatooine, in a galaxy far far away
Haha. Pilots? Nerds
Is this a sport?
Holy f#%k.
I seat in my chair all day that shoud be a sport.
I move my finger up and down that should be a sport
What an amazing thing that technology has allowed us to do and to be able to make a sport out of it. I think that they will come up with even greater types of competitions in the near future. It is a little tough for the spectators to watch and keep track of.
Maybe future races with base competition on multiple capabilities of the drones, like a race through a small canyon, with placements of repeaters for the pilot to stay in contact with the drone and maybe a race to a high altitude where they have a ballon stationed to have to come within a certain proximity. I don’t know, maybe a competition for lifting capabilities. I love this stuff and just think it is amazing, I would love to get into this but I’m certain that my hand eye coordination isn’t up to speed to compete in this type of race.
Bruj should be outside
Also what are these skills I can barely move in a circle
Ya it’s bad lol
Maybe if the drones exploded when they crashes or combine it with skeet, give a little umph.
it’s too dangerous as the drones can seriously injure people.
Lol! “Let’s hear it for the pilots!”… 5 people…”whoooo!”… Then crickets…
That stadium is packed
Holly Molly wtf that cameras on drone fpv we are in 2018/2019 bad quality 2:05
Please name of drone
WEAPON 100% !!!!!!!!

And the crowd goes craaazyyyy!
Wait no…

To everyone here saying there should be spectators or making fun of them for no one being there watching… Google something like “drone workbench injury” or “drone prop injury”. These things make insane power, and (speaking from personal experience here lol) the props WILL slice through skin like butter. I made a very stupid mistake at one point and tried to hand launch a race drone, cut my finger to the bone like it wasn’t even there. So imagine with these guys awful fpv feeds having thousands of people within the line of fire of that kind of potential? Yeah people would get hurt at every race.
This looks like something that you would read in a sci-fi novel written years earlier, trying to predict the future.
There’s literally no people
There’s literally no people
Awesome race! I love this type of racing events….
This is a long way from Scalextric racing.
I agree, we need spectators if we want to get more people involved in the awesome world of drone racing!
had no idea drones were this quick now, awesome
Guy can we just call it competition and not “sport”…?
Outstanding if you’re a crt descriptor.
Thanks Funhaus
video from camera on board sux. nobody use the dji digital?
Mango This race was over a year ago. The DJI tech was not available yet. It’s a game changer.
If you want this video to become 189% more awesome? Ditch the audio & commentary entirely and replace it with Darude: Sandstorm!
I would have liked to see the postgame stuff
Chris Morey check the entire playlist. It has about a dozen or more videos including a 1/2 hour NBC special.
Everyone got the memo, nobody came lol
Nothing wrong with the camera. It’s the fact that the signal from the camera needs to be carried to the goggles without any latency. The quality suffers because of this.
Brandon Johnson haha, yeah it sure looks that way but actually we rented the entire arena for a private event. We kept the 300+ guests safe in VIP skyboxes.
$500 to whoever can beat me in a race
Remember when they said drone racing was the future. That it would be as popular as F1 and would become a massive sport. No, just no.
This sport needs more .. something.. I am fan of drone racing but it’s not that engaging..
Yeah the feeds are Horrible asf?

We need digital deeds with huge screens for the audience.
It takes skill to pilot and construct these drones. What can you do? Kick a ball? I think you deserve a gold medal
What a shitty fpv. It’s all grainy

Muito top mano
Where are the spectators?
With their girlfriends!
This is the saddest amazing feat of technology ever
Omg
Omg
Omg
Would be surprised if e sports players didnt get involved in this in the future. Same skills required
No people, Shitty view feed, Unenthusiastic commentary. Lots of Ugh. Cool sport though just under represented .
They need better mc’s they do NOT make this sport exciting

Pure chloroform. zzzzzzzzzzz

They look like scary bees!
Wow this new sport is so f awesome ×-×
Anyone here because sports are cancelled?
Fans quarantined
I love drones abd fast 4 speed drones
DJI FPV goggles great value
They sound so sad
can i use a part of this video for a new footage?
Nobody
Now this is pod racing!
Damn they are fast
That radio breakup though…

not that makes a huge difference but it’s a bit disappointing that the official scores weren’t listed at the end.
more patethic then golf:))
Which drone are they flying?
its cool but not that cool… was thinking about getting a fpv drone but idk…
That is CRAZY fast and accurate!!!
$10k to first place <3
i’m honestly impressed by this, ive tried flying a drone before and could barely get it to land properly. must take a lot of practice and coordination to do this
it seems like playing a futuristic racing game in 2005 on playstation 2
I just found out about this…… Sport? Motorsport? Maybe both? Idk, whatever it is, I like it
Would be cool to be sitting in the crowd while they fly over and around you
I should’ve searched for this sooner
Super speed UFO
Why saddest?
holaaa muy buen video deseo que permanezcan haciendo material de calidad… Voy a continuar mirando sus creaciones. Les mando un saludo nos estamos viendo ☝️??
why is the video quality so shit? this was published before this video lmfao.
pensei que os cara iam sair correndo nessa pista
My God is that what they see in those Googles? Might as well close their eyes
Now this is podracing
How do they see with those cameras? I cant see anything
MUCH BETTER muted.
They need to fire the camera man
Just daisy chaining the shit out of those extension cords/surge protectors
2:09 thats what they see right? with goggles.
How to hell do you see anything with this terrible choppy rainbow video.
Ok this is cool and all but why tf are the cameras on the drones fucking fruit cobbler
We should be able to bet on this shit, FanDuel get on this
I wonder if there is a solution to the FPV latency issue. The quality is horrendous. Maybe each drone should be mandated to have an HD streaming camera for better playback during re-run shots. Even if the drone operators themselves get to look at static.
Yae Brasileiro? BLZ??? KKSKSKSK
This track is extremely small
What headsets and drones do they use?
Fatshark brand goggles, and a wide range of custom 5″ drones, mostly hand built by each pilot.
First 30 seconds “wow this is amazing”
After that first 30 “this is boring I need real sports”
So why chess is sports too?
