Who we fly with, and the numbers behind it

OFFICIAL AERIAL CREW · EMOTO RACING LIVE — SPRING & SUMMER SERIES

  • 4 SOCAL TRACKS

    Glen Helen, Perris MX, Fox Raceway and Lake Elsinore — all flown on race day, not a demo lap.

  • 2 RACE SERIES LIVE

    Official aerial crew for eMoto Racing Live's spring and summer series, with the drone feed cut into the live stream.

  • 37.8ms LIVE FEED LATENCY

    Drone to your switcher, measured on the chain we run at every event. Cuts clean next to your trackside cameras.

  • Same day DELIVERY

    4K footage and vertical social cuts handed off before the pits clear, so you have something to post while the day is still hot.

STRAIGHT FROM THE TRACK

This is what the footage looks like.

Motocross drone footage and FPV chase lines from Lake Elsinore Motocross Raceway, shot on race day. Full archive on Instagram.

01 — WHAT YOU GET

Everything lands the same day.

One rate covers the crew, the aircraft, the filming and the full media package — with or without a live stream. Nothing to negotiate line by line on race day.

4K aerial frame of a rider cresting a hill face against open sky.

4K chase footage

Every moto filmed from the air by a hand-flown FPV drone, every card offloaded and delivered before we leave the property — ready for your recaps, highlight edits and archive. Sponsor and licensing packages are available on top.

Chase-cam frame behind a pack of riders, the kind of shot cut into a vertical reel.

Social cutdowns

Vertical reels cut from the day's drone footage and sized for Instagram and TikTok, so the track has something to post while the day is still hot.

Live drone feed

If you're streaming, the same drone goes out live — a broadcast-ready feed handed off however your production takes video: clean HDMI or SDI, NDI, or an RTMP push straight to your ingest. Switched live between angles when you book two pilots.

02 — EVENT VIDEO

The drone is the signature. The ground crew covers the rest.

Ground and cinema coverage, shot by a small crew working alongside the drone on the same day and edited together with the aerial footage. One crew to book, one quote, one delivery. David still flies every drone.

Ground & cinema coverage

Gimbal and cinema cameras at the gate, the pits, the podium and the crowd lines. The angles a drone can't hold, matched to the aerial look so the cut feels like one production.

Highlight & recap edits

Drone and ground footage cut into one event recap or highlight reel for your channels, your sponsors and your archive. Turnaround is set in your quote.

Rider & creator content

Vertical-first shoots for riders, teams and influencers: ride-along drone lines, pit and personality shots, ready to post where they already have an audience.

Event promos & teasers

The video that sells your next date: a season trailer, a series teaser or a facility spot, shot at your track and cut to your brand.

Interviews & pit stories

Rider, promoter and sponsor interviews captured on race day, so the people behind the event get a voice next to the racing.

Every service above is added to the same written quote as your drone coverage, or booked on its own.

07 — THE PILOT

Every flight has the same name on it.

Race Day Aerials is flown by David Escobar — the FPV pilot and videographer behind every chase line on this page. The aircraft over your track isn't a camera drone following a GPS dot; it's an FPV quad flown by hand, built to hold a chase at race pace for a full lap without falling behind at the first rhythm section.

He's spent the season over Glen Helen, Perris, Fox Raceway and Lake Elsinore as the official aerial crew for Emoto Racing Live — so by the time your event comes up, the lines have already been flown a hundred times.

When your event streams, the feed reaches your switcher through FPVLink — an always-on HDMI box for DJI FPV goggles that he built and runs at every event on this page.

09 — BEFORE YOU BOOK

Questions promoters ask.

Are you insured?

Commercial drone liability and hull coverage. We issue a certificate of insurance naming your track or series as additional insured for every booking. The airspace side is ours to carry too — Part 107 certification, LAANC authorization and NOTAM filings sit with us, not with your permits or your policy.

Do you fly over spectators?

No. Crowd lines are surveyed as part of the site check, and flight paths are set to keep the aircraft off the grandstand, pits and vendor row — then briefed to you and race officials before anything leaves the ground. If a shot can't be flown clear of people, we don't take it.

Can the drone actually keep up at race speed?

Yes — keeping up is the whole product. These are hand-flown 5″ FPV quads built for chase work, not a consumer camera drone trailing a GPS dot. They hold a lock on a rider through the fastest sections of the track, and at 10–13 minutes of flight per pack they stay up for entire motos, not just a lap. That's exactly the footage in the reels at the top of this page.

Do we need to be live streaming to book you?

No. Most of what we deliver is footage — filming your event from the air and handing off 4K and social cuts the same day, no stream required. If you do run a live stream, the same drone also goes out live as another camera in your cut. What we don't do is run your broadcast: the commentary, overlays and channel stay yours.

Is it only drone work?

No. Drones are the signature, but a ground crew can shoot the start gate, pits, podium and interviews alongside them. Drone and ground footage are edited together into recaps, highlights and sponsor content, all on one quote. You can also book the ground crew without the drone.

Can you cut highlights and recaps from the whole day?

Yes. We edit the drone and ground footage into a highlight reel or event recap for your channels, sponsors and archive. Turnaround is set in your quote, and vertical cuts for social come with it.

Do you only cover motocross?

Motocross is home turf — it's where every reel on this page was shot. But the craft transfers: the same hand-flown chase coverage and live feed work for downhill mountain biking, drift and track-day events, karting, and any race a broadcast wants an aerial angle on. Tell us what you run and we'll tell you straight what the coverage looks like for it.

How does your feed get into our broadcast?

Whichever way your production already takes video. At the booth we hand off clean HDMI or SDI into your switcher or encoder, put the feed on your production network as NDI, or push RTMP straight to your ingest. Your overlays, your commentary, your channel — our aircraft just shows up as another camera in your cut.

What do you need from us on race day?

A rough spot to launch and land, your race schedule, and stream ingest access if we're feeding your broadcast. We handle everything else.

Will it get in the way of our program?

Nothing about your schedule has to change. Launch and landing are timed with race direction, we hold altitude over the track during motos so riders aren't reacting to a machine overhead, and our entire footprint on the property is one spot to take off and land from.

How far in advance should we book?

Two weeks is comfortable for a single race day. For weekends and season packages, earlier is better — peak-season crews book up first.

Do you travel outside Southern California?

Free within 50 miles of our Inland Empire base. Beyond that, mileage and lodging at cost for overnight events are itemized in your quote — nothing shows up after the fact.

What's included in the quote?

1–2 certified pilots, the aircraft, and all filming and live-feed equipment — the same coverage whether or not you stream. No separate pilot fee, no separate equipment fee. Ground crew and cinema cameras, when you add them, are itemized on the same quote.

Can our sponsors get footage?

Yes. Brands and sponsors can license edited aerial cuts of their bikes and banners from events we cover — rates and details are on our brands page. It's sponsorship inventory your event can offer without producing anything.
