He climbed on the highest point of the snowy Troodos along with dozens of other people crazy about the view, the cold air and the adrenaline. He took place on the slope's edge, put on the mask and... "dove". Panayiotis Mavrokefalos, a skilful drone operator, found himself "flying" over the top of Troodos with the help of drone racing.
The view is exciting, but it is merely a slightest idea of what you feel using the device. The scenery on snowy Troodos is an ideal location for such an experience. The drone goes up and down the steep slopes with incredible speed, rising suddenly up high and suddenly falling back down.
The Racing Drone is a kind of drone that aims to put the operator in the position of a cockpit. The operator through a pair of video goggles only sees what the drone camera sees, resulting to an immersive flying experience. The high speed (100-140 km) and the flexibility it offers in contrast to that of common drones (40 - 60 km), make it possible for the operator to fly like a bird between trees and other natural or artificial barriers in the easiest and the most immediate way.
