Slipstream Live is a sports broadcasting company specializing in telling the full story of endurance races through aerial video.
The company was born out of a need for higher quality and more comprehensive video coverage at outdoor endurance sport events. Unlike stadium sports, road and cross country running events often take place over large geographic areas (sometimes many square miles). Unfortunately, ground cameras often cannot adequately cover the constantly evolving race situation and the strategies competitors deploy. Much of the most story is lost.
Enter drones with autonomous capabilities.
Slipstream Live uses state of the art drone technology combined with FAA approved safety systems to capture the action at road, cross country, and track events.
As founder and project manager at Slipstream Live, I wore a multitude of hats, including client relations, drone piloting, mission design, aircraft maintenance and logging, defining operations, and compliance with the FAA.
