Questions

Live Broadcast FAQ

What live events do you cover?

Motorsport (WRC, rally, circuit), cycling (Tour Down Under), sailing and maritime (Sydney to Hobart, SailGP) and other live sport requiring real-time aerial coverage.

Do you provide a real-time downlink?

Yes — we deliver real-time HD/4K aerial feeds for live broadcast, coordinated with the production's broadcast workflow.

Why a helicopter rather than a drone for live broadcast?

Helicopters deliver the range, endurance, speed and stable long-lens coverage that live sport needs over large or fast-moving courses where drones cannot keep pace.
