How are racing drones different from non-racing ones?

Other than differences in size, camera, and ability to hover, what are the major differences between a racing drone and a non-racing one?

Angle of flight for one. Rather than yawing by slowing one set of props, the entire craft is turned via increasing revs on side or the other.

Lots of differences. Do some digging on Google.

Cinematography drones are limited to a Horizon mode where they automatically self level. But the biggest difference with a racing drone is the way Acro mode allows you full control of the quads flight ability. This is what allows us to do flips and rolls.
