Inspire 3 live streaming

Jim Kegley / Area 51 Drones

The brief.

A Las Vegas business wanted corporate staff to follow the aerial filming from their offices. The team used an Inspire 3 feed delivered through social media and YouTube, allowing remote viewers to see the shots during production.

The result.

The stream worked reliably around the Strip on this job. The observed delay from capture to remote viewing was approximately 10–11 seconds on this job.

That timing is a case-study observation, not a future latency promise. Delay depends on connectivity, the streaming setup, the platform and playback settings.

Planning your feed.

  • Who needs to watch, and from where?
  • Which platform will carry the feed?
  • What delay is acceptable for the production?
  • What connection and monitoring arrangements are available?
