Drones and the Tahoe
The G.O.A.L.S. road trip rolled in the 2014 Chevy Tahoe PPV, one of the 2026 tour vehicles.
Camera drones came along for the whole year: a DJI Mini 3 over the SHOT Show range day, and a DJI Neo 2 for the G.O.A.L.S. road trip, launched right out of the Tahoe window.
A DJI Avata 360 joined the drone kit in 2026 too.
