Follow the stories behind the lens of the world’s toughest adventure race – told by professional creatives and the gear they trust

At Red Bull X-Alps, the spotlight is on the athletes as they push their physical and mental limits, driven by performance, endurance, and the ambition to lead.
But right behind them, often only steps away, are photographers, videographers, and content creators — carrying their gear, navigating the same demanding terrain, and capturing moments that happen only once.  
 
From sky to summit, they need to match the pace, stay focused, and be ready to capture moments that define the race at all times. Without them, the spirit of Red Bull X-Alps with all its tension, beauty, and intensity would remain unseen. For fans and athletes alike, their work makes it possible to revisit and relive what would otherwise pass in an instant.
 
Through it all, Angelbird gear remains their constant companion — no matter the terrain, no matter the conditions. Designed to perform wherever and whenever the story takes them.
 
We’re excited to introduce three professional creatives capturing Red Bull X-Alps 2025 and to support and follow their individual journeys behind the lens:

Adi brings his distinctive visual language to the high alpine environment, from exposed ridgelines to mid-air perspectives. Equipped with Nikon and DJI gear, his work is defined by skilled handling of camera and perspective, and an eye for detail and storytelling.
 
With over 20 years of experience in paragliding and high-altitude photography, Adi focuses on capturing the scale, atmosphere, and the raw energy of athlete performance — both on foot and in flight. His imagery invites a deeper connection with the vast landscapes and the athletes moving through them. He relies on Angelbird gear to capture every moment as it happens.

Maximilian creates where motion meets story. As a professional creative focused on both video and photography, he works with Canon, DJI, Insta360, and iPhone 16 Pro to stay agile and fast in fast-changing conditions.
 
Throughout Red Bull X-Alps, Maximilian captures the dynamic energy of the race — moving alongside the athletes, adapting to changing terrain, and capturing spontaneous moments of strength, focus, and emotion. His work reflects the race’s intensity from a creator’s perspective. With Angelbird media by his side, he stays ready to perform — fast and mobile.

Christoph combines photography, videography, and drone expertise to create an immersive, multi-perspective story of the race.
 
Working with Sony Alpha, GoPro, and DJI systems, Christoph merges the grounded intensity of the athletes with expansive aerial views of the alpine landscape. His ability to switch perspectives brings clarity and depth to one of the most visually complex events in the world. Christoph counts on Angelbird gear to never miss a moment.

We’re thrilled to support these three creatives on their journey and to bring a piece of their personal setup into your hands.
Their media selections are now available in the Angelbird webshop in the deals zone, as a limited release:
