I had to post this one. Even though I found it on the world's biggest photo site.
Caution: Wonderful mountaineering shots.

A beautiful video. Drones are wonderful toys/tools when used in proper context. I've been recording a series of videos of an abandoned railroad, and my drone clips allow me to share so much I'd otherwise have missed. Terrific tools when used to support the main storyline.
Hi Kirk,
great drone video. Reminded me of a book I recently read, written by one of my neighbors (!) Robert Kostka, born 1935, mountaineer, cartographer, expert for photogrammetry, university professor. Inter alia he worked with Erwin Schneider (1906 – 1987) who made remarkably high quality and highly praised large scale maps of Nepal and the Mount Everest region. In the 1970s and 80s they used a modified „Pilatus Porter“ airplane, large format and several Hasselblad cameras with Zeiss Planar and Distagon lenses, started from Kathmandu photographing according to a sophisticated system through an open floor hatch and out of redesigned windows. They used the images for cartography. Later they flew a helicopter “Alouette”. Almost incredible. You can google them both, but the webpages will mostly be in German. Regards,
Helmut the Austrian.
Thank you, I've passed that link onto a few friends.
Interesting. I do not have a fear of heights, but watching this, on my little fifteen inch laptop screen, made me feel anxious.
They lucked out on the winds. Usually, the summit is exposed to the jet stream.
Holy cats!
