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.
@ESCOBAR.FPV →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.
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.

06 — 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. We build them to order for other crews →

08 — 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 produce the broadcast itself: the commentary, overlays and channel stay yours.
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 it's $1.00/mile round-trip, plus lodging at cost for overnight events.
What's included in the rate?
1–2 certified pilots, the aircraft, and all filming and live-feed equipment — the same rate whether or not you stream. No separate pilot fee, no separate equipment fee.
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.
