NEW YORK \u2014 A Queens drone company is changing the way audiences watch the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been capturing these high-speed events with just point of views that we\u2019ve never seen before,\u201d said Victor Chu, founder of SkyTechOne, a Queens-based production company specializing in FPV, or first-person view drone technology.<\/p>\n
Unlike traditional broadcast cameras, FPV drones are piloted using immersive goggles that allow operators to see in real time from the drone\u2019s perspective.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo FPV is a type of drone where the pilot wears a goggle similar to this,\u201d Chu said, holding up the headset, highlighting that the devise provides a more immersive view.<\/p>\n
The technology is on full display at the Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, where drones are flying live at speeds up to 75 miles per hour, while delivering broadcast-quality video that races alongside athletes and dives into spaces once impossible to film.<\/p>\n
\u201cFour years ago, the technology wasn\u2019t there.\u201d, said Demian Neufeld, a drone pilot currently working with the technology at the Winter Olympics.<\/p>\n
SkyTechOne has shown similar dramatic flights locally, including a sweeping, high-speed drone run into and around the New York Public Library on Fifth Avenue, maneuvering past shelves and displays with precision.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is very surreal,\u201d said News 4 reporter, Gus Rosendale, as the drone navigated tight turns inside an apartment.<\/p>\n
From vast mountain landscapes to small city apartments, the drones can adapt to nearly any environment, bringing viewers closer to the action than ever before.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m always excited when there\u2019s a new perspective coming to these exhilarating sports,\u201d Chu said.<\/p>\n
At the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics, this new perspective may be one of the biggest winners of all, transforming how fans experience the thrill of Olympic competition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NEW YORK \u2014 A Queens drone company is changing the way audiences watch the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":130141,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[29209,9,11,10,15559],"class_list":{"0":"post-130140","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-2026-milan-cortina-olympics","9":"tag-new-york","10":"tag-new-york-headlines","11":"tag-new-york-news","12":"tag-olympics"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130140","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=130140"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130140\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/130141"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=130140"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=130140"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=130140"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
