I remember the year the race had a lot of film done from airplanes. The videos showed how it was on the trail for the teams, how hard, how beautiful. And, most importantly, showed the dogs in action. But it is very costly.
Is anyone else wondering, how much does a drone cost, how far away from a checkpoint can they be flown, and why couldn't they be used to capture film of the dogs out on the trail? I'm sure there is someone out there who knows the answers.
