Africa & Wildlife | Cinematic FPV

As videographer and FPV pilot I am always looking to show something unique and new. This time I want to show you the potential of FPV drone in combination with Africa’s wildlife. As I have been filming wildlife for almost a year now with my FPV drones I finally felt confident enough to produce my own short cinematic video showing the potential. My friends and I explored Namibia for 2 weeks and due to heavy rain we could see this country covered by a green layer. To make the entire trip even more adventurous we went completely off the grid with Travel Uncharted for a 4 day off-road to visit places humans haven’t been or abandoned years ago. I put my heart into this project and had support by my amazing travel buddies. Enjoy this new passion project!

🙏 I am so happy to finally show you my new passion project from my trip to Namibia. Kindly let me know what you think could be my next destination for FPV? What do you want me to capture 🤓

[@joelsmtb3511]

Japan would be good or maybe the Great Wall of China, I don't know the drone regulations in those countries though.

[@christiandude6889]

Down Under would be awesome as well. Japan is stunning 2. Or go to Mars. Valles Marineris.😎

[@EllisvanJason]

😱 thanks ryan 😇

[@Kazuya720]

Most talented? The footage is great, he flys cinematic, which means calm and also fast flying, but no compare to acrobatic or stunt pilots how do really crazy things.

[@sakethief9365]

Yeah this was dope but theres DRL guys who are levels above. Not to mention the legend Johnny FPV

[@andreaswashington5354]

@@EllisvanJason is that’s fake or scam ? Someone guy, may be scam in your KZbin channel, comment me (@Ellisvan) “Congratulations You have been randomly selected among the DJI mavic 3 (give away winners )”

[@Traficantes]

He is a talented videographer, not necessarily a talented FPV pilot. The FPV footage is standard. Edition and the landscape is what makes the difference, as in all his videos. Big up for the great videography and originality

[@juniaskauapirura8107]

I’m from Namibia, and trust me when I say “ it’s like seeing my home for the first time in my life” even though I’ve lived here all my life. Striking work🔥👌🏾

[@anton_morokov]

Проделана большая работа! Это супер! Очень красиво!

[@SirSchmittyX]

Not sure how I feel about flying the drove that close to wildlife. Especially during a hunt but those are some amazing shots.

[@markdyer2006]

I just had a scroll through the comments to see if anybody was saying this. There's no denying that this is an incredible video. I've watched it a few times and everything about it blows my mind. Probably the best drone video I've ever seen! Following the running animals looks epic, but I'm guessing that the vast majority of them are running in fear of the drone noise. The idea of disturbing wildlife in that way doesn't sit well with me.

[@extremesportsjunkie]

Agreed, it's not respectful to fly that close to wildlife, and it's only going to encourage more people to do the same. Great video and all, but KZbin views aren't worth that.

[@MrTone71]

The comment I was looking for. Those first few shots are all of wildlife running away, probably from the drone. The shots look spectacular but just because you can doesn't mean you should.

[@eliseolopez2790]

What a view a bird has their mechanics astonishing as those of cats , powerful as rockets

[@huithu]

Can't you just enjoy it? Smartass

[@yousseflaaguid660]

This in fact a masterclass cinematic scenes.

[@techflex.]

Wowww!! Just woww! This is absolutely breathtaking. 😍

[@matt.explore]

Absolutely incredible!🔥 I'm curious from your own personal experience how wildlife react to your drone? I know National Geographic did a study on drones and wildlife that found 80% of birds will just ignore a drone, and from my own experience many animals don't seem bothered by drones. Just curious what you observed?

[@EllisvanJason]

Really good question! I probably do a tutorial about it as there is a lot to consider. It really depends on the wildlife honestly. Ofc as every living organism there is natural curiosity for bee alike sound but I made really good experiences so far. I always try to approach slow, have another person looking as well. I try to understand the terrain and type of animal first and what I want to film. There can be one animal completely ignoring the drone and another curiously looking. If they react unnatural you have to leave and look for other opportunities. Birds are really good, ofc it depends on the birds and environment but if you approach with caution and respect they let you capture cool stuff 🥰

[@matt.explore]

@@EllisvanJason thanks for taking the time to reply. Very interesting and looks like you got many awesome opportunities to capture wildlife with these awesome shots.

[@EllisvanJason]

@@matt.explore I have to thank for coming by and checking out my work 🤩🙌

[@matt.explore]

@@EllisvanJason no problem, my pleasure

[@alfeldo]

Definitely not good flying a drone that close to wildlife, but otherwise a work of art! Well done Ellis. #GONAM🇳🇦

[@2009kronos]

Did you get permission from the animals to fly so close to them?

[@aluzuka]

do you get permission from the animals to kill and eat them? yeah. didn’t think so. stop complaining.

[@LucasSun-m7s]

I think he was just joking. If he is complaining, try not to add to the negativity
