The Sounds of the race! WHEN FPV DRONE RACING SOUNDS AS FAST AS IT LOOKS!

Turn the volume up! 👆

There’s nothing quite like hearing a high-performance FPV racing drone rip past the camera at full speed. That split-second scream of the motors and propellers gives you a completely different perspective on just how fast these machines are moving.

This is FPV drone racing up close at a National Drone League Race Demonstration in Huntington Beach, California.

Professional pilots. High-speed racing drones. LED race gates. And passes so close you can hear the motors before you can process what just flew by.

Want to experience it in person? Follow the National Drone League and Pilots and Drones Productions for upcoming races, demonstrations, and behind-the-scenes FPV action.

TURN YOUR SOUND ON and listen to that flyby!
