Skiing with a Drone

Nick · Jan 30, 2014

Sort of covered in the other thread about a resort but thought this video deserved its own thread.

Very cool! It's a compilation but there are some really cool ski shots in here.

Can't view the video on the mobile app...

I've been researching and pricing out some drones for myself and have learned it is illegal to use a drone with a camera for commercial purposes! There are some loop holes but it's a dampener for me for sure as I want to use them commercially.

Capturing skiing is so perfect for drones/quadcopters!

Cool vid, I can see it now....drones following everyone at the ski resorts....all crashing into each other !
Should be fun !

So what would be your pick for a reasonably priced model able to transport a POV cam ?

Currently I like what DJI has to offer. More stable than competitors, can go higher, has GPS (useful for hovering and using waypoints) and you can tweak it out with add-ons.

I like this Niagara Falls video shot on board a DJI Phantom.

Nick · Jan 30, 2014

I want a DJI. I do some videography work and this would be really fun. Especially since I already have a gopro!

Can't stop watching those amazing videos. Rock climbing is a popular subject too.

I don't know if they were filming, but the drone was flying around at Wachusett tonight. Have to see if they post a video up.

"VIDEO: Photog captures stunning aerial footage of fox walking on frozen Barnegat Bay
Kevin Doherty just planned on launching his remote control helicopter affixed with a camera to capture the sun setting over the frozen Barnegat Bay in Seaside Park Thursday.
What actually happened stunned him...."--

isn't it a justifiable business expense to promote AZ with awesome videos?
