Shots from the sky | 2 | Over the snowy mountains
Looking back a little bit at my recent adventure in the snow in Ischgl, Austria where I only had a brief moment to take out the drone because we were really giving the speed a good go over there.
On a beautiful day we just dumped the skies in the side of the piste and took a moment to take some nice shots.
I can tell you, flying a drone is not that easy when it is minus 15 celsius out there and you are wearing thick skiing gloves, but still we managed to makes something nice out of it.
Since we are still beginners in flying and still often try to orientate where the drone is hanging, versus only looking at the screen that was a challenge in this scenery.
The black and white background makes it really hard to see the drone if it is hanging in front of the snowy background, as that is white on white.
I also found skiing around with the drone in my backpack a bit challenging as I was afraid to crash myself (I literally didn't fall once so this is a bit of bullcrap, but still..the idea), and then squash the drone in my crash, but all of that didn't happen ofcourse.
I like the fact that a couple of weeks after this trip working with the images still gives a good vibe back to those days. Maybe this is like the same charm as that people have when they are making photo albums...it brings them back to the moment.
I used some free music from Music coming from Pixabay by LesFM which is a nice source if you just want something chill in the background.
Considering the circumstances to fly in were challenging, Im still okay with the result. I think of the options to put in there while editting might be when taking sudden turn to play the video on half speed so the turns are not so abrupt, but I consider these are learning lessons that I will take with me for the next future.
Fully inspired because of this I feel like I want to step outside again to some cool places, but currently it is like 35 knots wind out there which is not typical drone weather I would say, so saving it for a next session.
But making drone shots in skiing areas, yeah I really liked doing this, I just need a longer trip so I have more time to make shots from different locations.

Would not even notice that you were wearing these thick gloves, looks great to me!
Ahhh super thanks! Dont forget i cut out like 95% of zigzagging with the camera there haha.
I just enjoy fooling around with it and that is the most important!
That's fine, I guess a lot of the drone footage is cutting out most part...
Keep them coming :)
Great shots, I'm not a skier, but have wanted to get out and film others skiing. Thanks for posting to our group and welcome aboard!
I wasnt sure if video's were also allowed as it was i thought more photography orientated right?
But yeahhh im enjoying the gadget and with a scenery like this...it would be a pity not doing anything with it right?
The funny is while being on the slopes you see skiers all day but this angle this is really different. Next stop should surely be filming the friends or myself!
We get a mix of photos and videos, including FPV videos and all are welcome! Like it best when there's a mix, but I know that doesn't always work out for folks. At some point as we grow we may split into separate contests, but for now it's small enough volume to combine unless there's a major outcry for change.
"Active Track" mode did great for filming myself on skateboard, if yours has that available, would be interesting to see how well it keeps up.
Unfortunately that 'active track and follow me' is literally the only thing that I miss on the dji mini2 But with some more people this is still optional to film the other haha.
I would be curious if cold would be a factor on that as well
I've flown mine in -20 and didn't seem to mind but kept flight short and fairly close. Others I've heard talk about just watch the battery life because it will be reduced a bit, but I think the M2 and M3 have some extra heating function on them that I'm not sure the mini has either. I suppose you'll have to test for us!
wat een bagger muziek 😋
Hahahahaha, jonge gewoon een deuntje vatten.
Zak jij naar het zuiden af voor wat carnavalskrakers deze week.?
zak eens lekker door!
nee das niks voor mij. Maar geniet er van als je het wel leuk vindt✌🥂
So cool! I see we have a pro skiier, I wouldn't trust a drone on my back going down the hills for sure! :)) Thanks for the tour, now I'm realising how much I'm missing skiing! !LUV
Hahahah...Ive had some years in there so can predict usually what will happen and if I will fall or not (but having this thing with you feels expesive because when I crash I crash for a good one!)
