The helicopter team that films the Tour de France
Can't they use a drone nowadays? cheaper, less polluting and can fly closer without disturbing riders
That's what they use in sailing races

The cameras are pretty huge, since you want both close ups but also very large field views, e.g. to show the peloton and landscape, so you need to be far away with a powerful zoom.

I don't think you realize the weight of the cameras they use to shoot in ultrahd, with crazy parallax effects and relay the feed to a plane.
