Gravity Media deployed a self-contained flypack and specialist RF camera system for Red Bull Rampage 2026 in Virgin, Utah. The freeride mountain-bike venue has no permanent broadcast infrastructure, so the production brought switching, audio, replay and communications into one portable control room. Gravity says the system was transported, installed and configured on site despite limited power and connectivity across the remote desert course.
Acquisition included five RF handheld cameras positioned around the mountain and RF infrastructure for a live FPV drone feed. The production also used EVS XtraMotion to create slow-motion material from standard camera sources, including the handheld RF and drone pictures. Gravity says the processed sequences were used widely in the broadcast, extending replay coverage beyond angles captured by dedicated high-frame-rate cameras.
The workflow is technically relevant because it combines mobility, wireless acquisition and compute-assisted replay where a conventional outside-broadcast compound is difficult to support. RF links let operators distribute cameras across the course, while the flypack consolidated the core production functions. XtraMotion then turned otherwise normal-rate feeds into additional replay sources, allowing the drone and handheld cameras to contribute slow-motion storytelling without separate super-slow-motion camera chains.
The release does not identify the flypack's switcher, replay servers, audio console, video format or total camera count. It also omits RF bands, link topology, latency, coverage margins, interference planning, power budget and connectivity bandwidth. Gravity does not state whether XtraMotion processing ran locally or in the cloud, nor does it publish turnaround measurements from this event. The deployment is therefore a documented production case, not a full performance benchmark.
