In the hands of an expert, however, the DJI FPV truly comes into its own. Capable of going 0-100kph in just 2 seconds, the machine promises unparalleled excitement. But how does that rack up in a race, much less in a race against sports cars with ferocious track capabilities? Let’s find out.

DJI FPV drone vs. Porsche 911 Turbo S

For this super ambitious race, DJI roped in adventure filmmaker Nathan McBride. Shot at one of the most scenic and picturesque racetracks in the US, Utah Motorsports Campus, the video’s cinematography is absolute fire. Equally amazing is the editing and sound design, guaranteeing an adrenaline rush from across the screen. Just watch:

McBride, who also shot the FPV promo video for DJI, says:

It was been such a blessing to be a part of the release of this new drone and to be able to travel from the canyons of Utah to the islands of Hawaii in order to test this drone’s capabilities. This [race] was a super ambitious concept that was a joy to help put together. When DJI presented the concept to me, I took on the challenge and assembled a remarkable group of talented creatives that I knew would be a key asset to bringing the project to life.

DJI vs. Mercedes-EQ Silver-Arrow 02

Now, this one isn’t exactly billed as a race, but we’re guessing that’s just for the optics. You see, DJI is Mercedes-EQ Formula E Team’s official drone supplier and the two brands have been working together of late to take creative storytelling to new heights. And on that aspect, the video does deliver. Take a look:
