Like me you'll have been thrilled during the spectacle Mexico v. England was, with a glimpse of a less-heralded success story from among these shores!
To a menagerie that features a brush-footed spider-cam (see previous post tho' not sure where in this phantasmagoria of a blog) we can add a batcam; sadly grounded by adverse weather on the evening in question.
The company based in Epping combines the talents of one man and his drone, with one with a background in broadcast... areas in which the UK is considered to excel.
Their means of aerial footage ~ check the website ~ has been the go-to choice for practically any event that's been any event at all.
As we saw earlier, flying drones are disallowed from within the stadium itself; used instead for those dramatic aerial shots of it during the pre-amble.
They'll have been grounded by the team in view of thunderstorms in the area that present two conspicuous threats to a drone. They can produce downdraughts that will bring down an airliner, and lightning strikes that whilst rarely discombobulating airliners ~ I've known several ~ would likely knock out a drone.
This is not least because an airliner is effectively a Faraday cage on the one hand, and includes electronics tested to the Nth degree ~ as yet luxuries among the fledgling aerial drone industry.
Ed. The author can still recall practically every member of Brazil's team from the '70 World Cup at the same stadium, though the less said about his 'World Cup Willy' the better.
