Welcome to FlyRoute "Drone Photo of the Week". The DPOTW is a contest to spotlight the incredible skills of our talented drone pilots. Each week, one outstanding aerial shot captured by a FlyRoute pilot will be featured across our social media platforms and website. Whether it's a breathtaking sports moment or a stunning landscape of the stadium environment, we want to showcase the creativity and expertise of our team. The winning photo will be selected based on originality, composition, and overall visual impact. Stay tuned to see the most impressive perspectives from the sky, as we celebrate the art of drone photography!


Congratulations on the feature, Ric Moore! Great night time shot with the moon and the glowing Friday night lights, Ric!

High school football programs are now competing in the post-season quarter-final tournament. With each team's eye on championships, it's important to stay focused on the here and now. A great way for team's to focus on the present is to utilize FlyRoute drone film with an in-game sideline replay system.


A sideline replay system creates a local network on the field which allows coaches to view previously recorded plays on a smart device like a iPad or phone, then broadcast the play on a TV to critique athletes. Within seconds, coaches will have access to a previous play in slow motion, zoom in, draw on the screen, or tag a critical play to save for later. In addition, coaches in the press box are able to log in to the network and use the film to assist with play calling.


Some of FlyRoute's trusted sideline replay providers include: Hudl Sideline, GameStrat, SkyCoach, and SportScope EDGE Replay. Whether the required video output is 720p or 1080p, FlyRoute drones has the required hardware to integrate with all of the partnered replay providers listed here.
