I can see this service getting some traction, from the tourist to the local Downhill shred heads. Basically anybody who loves to film all of their rides has probably wondered what it would look like from the aerial perspective.
Even though I'm a drone pilot and a mountain biker, I personally know of the huge headache it is to pack the drone up a trail and set everything up, hoping for a good shot and it ends up crashing so you get nothing but frustration and making your friends wait around for nothing.
People have asked me to film them, and it's something that I don't know I'm ready for. So many things can go wrong, you think you've got killer footage but there was just one thing off and it all sucked. But to hand it over to a paid service that takes care of all that for you, it might not be a bad idea.
I can see this getting used at races too, but some of the events might put a ban on them, leaving it up to companies like this that had the permits already in place.
Could you see yourself using a service like this?
