“THE SKYBOT-CAM WILL BE RELEASED AT SAILGP”
A collaborative project has been unveiled between Riedel Communications, SailGP Technologies and Skyroads. Aiming to provide coverage that is more immersive, as well as producing substantially less CO2, the partnership will deliver a $20m order of Skybot-Cam systems – which combine high-payload drones with professional broadcast, gyro- stabilised camera systems. “Today’s professional airborne broadcast camera systems are mainly helicopter-based and require enormous organisational, technical and budgetary effort for a photographic platform that, although creating high-quality pictures, is unsustainable in the long run,” stated SailGP CTO Warren Jones. “SailGP Technologies
stands for innovation in sustainable sports as part of its ‘Better Sport – Better Future’ strategy, and it is partnerships with forward-thinking companies like Riedel and Skyroads that allow us to achieve this.” The Skybot-Cam will be released at SailGP, acting as the first event to use the new technology. “This partnership reflects our commitment to enhance innovation in order to create future-oriented formats, focusing on environmental and safety aspects,” said Riedel Group CEO Thomas Riedel.
