That’s cool as hell.
How much does a drone like this cost? Video is epic. Technology is epic
Honestly one of the coolest videos i’ve seen. Wow.
On these shots is sound added after? Or are they able to cancel out the noise of the drone?
Amazing. I bought a Mavic Air several years ago and used it all of 10 times and the one time it lost GPS signal it went flying into a condo without my commands to tell it to do so and I’m scared of drones for that reason. This makes it look easy and wonder if something sucks about my drone lol.
I really like the circles at the top and at the end to help viewers get their bearings. Incredibly well shot.
I have been thinking about building an FPV drone for a while, but all of the restrictions that Transport Canada puts on drones really makes it seem not worth the hassle. There’s no way you can get footage like this while following the rules they set out.
Speaking of which, you may want to edit your video to remove the landing footage. It doesn’t look like you have a spotter keeping your drone within line of sight. A video like this is probably going to get a lot of views and you don’t want to make it easy for the Gov’t to fine you.
Did you know the avalanche was happening or were you lucky?
That was so cool, thanks for sharing. Man I really want a drone now. I’m also in BC, where was that?
I hella want a drone that can go that far from the controller.
Very cool footage!
I have an Air 2S and it’s fun af. Used it to blow leaves out of my gutters and it actually worked pretty well.
I didn’t see Tom cruise para skiing. This is the intro to the new mission impossible right?? /s
Very dope stuff, great video.
That’s crazy how fast you got down compared to going up. What are top speeds on the way down?
Dam, this is like ‘nature documentary’ quality, breath taking video.
This was an awesome ride. Thank you for this footage. Amazing
40 years ago, this would have been considered the greatest nature footage of all time.
That…. was spectacular! Thank you for a really interesting view of ravine avalanche dynamics! That was a perfect alignment of skill, equipment and good luck! Well done mate!
Something so satisfying about flying in the air so smoothly
Even without the avalanche, that was an amazing video. Watching the entire thing, fullscreen @ 1440.
​
Well done!
That was mesmerizing! Very cool!!!
Stunning.
I’ve seen lots of drone footage, but that was amazing.
How did you time the avalanche, did you have radio communications with whatever team was setting off the charge/shot?

That was mesmerizing AF.
Probably one of the best drone vids ive seen.
This is amazing but man the music is entirely unnecessary. I watched with the sound of after I realized the audio was edited.
Man I’ve seen a LOT of drone footage and shot even more. It’s easy to get tired of it. But I sat and watched this the whole way through with awe in my eyes like it was the first time ever watching aerial video again. Good damn job man! Some of those seemingly blind ascends near the top of the mountain were terrifying. You clear trees like you’ve flown the route 100 times.
