Fresno State Using A DJI Phantom To Film Practice

Fresno State University is catching on to the UAV trend and has purchased a DJI Phantom 2 to film fall football camp. They have attached a GoPro camera and use the Phantom to fly 10 feet behind the quarterback, giving the coaches a video game like point of view of the practices. With the phantom flying above the field, the coaches and players have a different perspective and a much bigger picture of the plays occurring below. The coaches have agreed that the Phantom has been helpful, and allows them to do a better job determining some of the detailed moves the defensive and offensive lineman make. It will be interesting to see what other sports follow suit to using UAV's for training purposes.
