Astounding Rally de Portugal Video Shows the Magic of DJI Drones

Just when you think you have seen it all, DJI’s latest WRC Portugal video shows you the endless possibilities drones bring to broadcasting with the most unlikely aerial perspectives.

Shot on the Inspire 2 with the X5S lens and the Phantom 4 Professional, the 50th edition of Rally de Portugal was hosted in the city of Matosinhos, near Porto -- an area famous for its sandy and tricky gravel roads, where fast sections are combined with winding roads and hairpins.

WRC Portugal may be over for another year but the rally frenzy continues this month with WRC Sardinia and WRC Poland. Stay tuned for more action.
