The Himalaya - Khumbu 3passes Trek (Drone Aerial Footage) Final Edition

I traveled to Nepal Himalayas in February this year with Phantom4.
The 16 days treking journey was really hard, but the scenery was very impressed and fantastic.

Ευτύχης Μπλέτσας Thanks buddy :)

[@burst345]

Dozens of times, I've watched this superb video. And on each occasion, I am totally overwhelmed with emotion. It just pushes my senses into overdrive. I consider no other video could possibly equal this outstanding achievement.

Wow that's a lot of effort especially Feb is one of the coldest month of the year. Really enjoyed it even though I see this view everyday.

[@SKYMediaworks]

It was a little cold, but I could bear it enough to see the beautiful scenery. thanks for watching.

[@MrThresher7]

Phenomenal Aerial Drone Views! BRAVO. Subscribing to your Awesome Channel almost instantly!

[@johannbinny]

Chris, you just sent shivers up my spine. I could relive my trek through the three high passes of Khumbu. So glad you made this video. Thanks for sharing!

[@SKYMediaworks]

You're welcome thank you for watching

[@amsa-nepal6370]

I was there a month back. It was really difficult to capture the beauty in a video or photo. You have done justification to the place. Nice work and thank you for the video. I would like to welcome everyone to this heavenly place at-least once in your lifetime.

[@supershortsporty]

Agreed! Going over Kongma La Pass and Kala Patthar especially, this video brought back so many emotions :)

[@DeepShah16]

Hats Off to Chris ! This can only be achieved with Hard work & dedication !!!

[@borger2109]

Absolutely breathtaking. I watch it three times after each other. This one is next up for me. Your video gets the blood pumping and makes me want to go there even more. Thanks for your hard work & sharing this vid!!!! You set new standards!

[@SKYMediaworks]

Thank you for watching three times :)

[@NORILDINA]

Awesome!! wonderful video!!!

[@SKYMediaworks]

Thank you

[@sarojneupane4137]

jaw dropping.awesome video

[@SKYMediaworks]

lol thank you :)

[@Brownicek]

Done this trek two months before you, this brings all the memories back.. great work! I wish i have had mavic pro there already, photos just cannot expess the grandeur of these mountains!

[@SKYMediaworks]

Oh ~ seem to have been at a similar time. it would be a bit difficult to include the scenery of the Himalayas because of the narrow angle of view. I thought of taking the Mavic Pro before I left, but I choose Phantom 4 because it is more suitable for shooting.

[@Brownicek]

Done some panoramas, but the movement really gets you into the scale of things :-) if you like chceck my photos on flickr here: www.flickr.com/gp/96122084@N02/w7U247

[@SKYMediaworks]

wow... amazing pictures!!! Your technique of photographing is excellent. There are a lot of scenes that are very familiar ... Of course it was very hard, but when I looked at your pictures, I remember wonderful and happy moments.

[@maxzabarovsky1890]

Could you please tell what was the time of charging one P4 battery? I heard they have low current power in tea houses... Thank you!

[@michakulenty8967]

Did you have to obtain any permits from Nepals gov?

[@bidabrain]

Did the drone work well in such a low temperature? How long it can fly? Thanks

[@kimjason.b.8472]

직접 눈으로 볼때보다 더욱 웅장하고 멋있는 영상이네요!

[@NMFTV]

[@SKYMediaworks]

Thank you

[@임채응-b5l]

Thank you for the good video.

[@sasikumar-wl3zz]

Is this video has copy rights

[@skymovepictures]

Beautiful...!!!

[@SKYMediaworks]

Thank you :)

[@TheNewnan3]

Did you get footage everyday? Im taking a Mavic Pro but it seems like the Phantom 4 would be a better option for higher resolution photos. It'd be nice to have an Inspire2 but d@mn that pricetag!

[@SKYMediaworks]

Yes, I shot footage almost every day. I think Mabic is a great choice. Although the picture quality of the picture is worse than the phantom, it seems that the portability is the best. However, I took Phantom4 because I thought that image quality is more important than portability. Forget Inspire It's a suicide act to trek more than 15 days with an inspire. it's too heavy!!!

[@TheNewnan3]

Yeah Ive had racing quads but it wasnt until the Mavic came out that I considered a photo drone....Im almost thinking about switching to a 4 Pro but I would lose too much money on the Mavic. Ill just need to get a little closer to my subjects ;)

[@TheNewnan3]

Not sure if I asked before but did you use a polarizing filter at all?

[@SKYMediaworks]

No, I didn't use any filters.

[@joseangeldf]

Epic, omw there

[@HiHai]

Your video is really useful.

[@kimsmock1524]

Hello Sir,I want to use your footage in my travel directory website.Is there any way I can use that or purchase? Please let me know. And great work .. :)

[@SKYMediaworks]

Let me know ypur email. then I'll give you information of licensing policy. my email address is [e-mail]

[@excursionistlounge]

AWESOME!!!

[@SKYMediaworks]

Himalaya is really a awesome place.Thank you :)

[@krisdenkidd5110]

Hi there! Great video! What song is this?

[@ariffqnet2]

amazing!

[@SKYMediaworks]

thank you :)

[@maxzabarovsky1890]

Hello, thank you for your great video. I'm also interested in minimising risks of confiscation and penalising for flying drone there. Did you put your drone in hand luggage or checked-in one? Thanks. Does Kathmandu airport have x-ray baggage checking upon arrival?

[@SKYMediaworks]

You need to bring the drone battery into the airplane by hand luggage. Airline and airport regulations do not allow batteries to be sent as check-in luggage. And in the Kathmandu or Lukla airport security check counter, the drones and batteries were not a big issue. I was able to come to Nepal ,with 4 batteries of drones, 3 dslr batteries, 2 camcorder batteries and laptop.

[@maxzabarovsky1890]

Ok, thank you. And what's the punishment actions can be applied to drone operator if he operates it without permit? Is it a drone confiscation and a penalty (don't you know how big this penalty is)? Haven't found special law in CAAN.

[@SKYMediaworks]

I'm not sure. My guide told me that there was a penalty over $1000 and the disadvantage of confiscating the drones. However, since soldiers and police are only in certain areas, it will not be a problem if you get accurate information from the guide.

[@TheNewnan3]

Were you able to regularly charge all your batteries? I plan on bringing 5 drone batts and 8 dslr batts plus a small battery bank with a solar charger for the phone and mavic pro controller. Perhaps a bit of overkill? Thanks for all the replies btw....Subbed!

[@SKYMediaworks]

In my case, three drone batteries were enough. Sometimes it's hard to shoot, and charging cost fee is too high , so it is too costly to charge a lot of batteries. The charge for the battery was expensive as it went up to the high ground and the charge for the battery in the highest town was $ 5. Battery charging is available in all towns. My opinion is that your battery is too much. It's better to take the baggage as light as possible.

[@thisissawyer]

nice CHRIS

[@SKYMediaworks]

Thank you :)

[@TheNewnan3]

Was it difficult to get the proper permit/permissions to fly? Im doing the EBC trek via Gokyo later this year! Outstanding footage!

[@SKYMediaworks]

The EBC is a wonderful place. Just go as planned and have a great view of the landscape. The Himalayan National Park area requires permission to fly a drone. However, the Permit cost was too high and it took a lot of time to issue permit, so I just filmed without permission.

[@TheNewnan3]

Thanks for the honest response! Were there park rangers or anyone like that around? Ive watched dozens of videos and I havent seen a single person who looked official in that regard.... Whats the cost of the permit??

[@SKYMediaworks]

In the Himalayan National Park there are police and armies in some villages. If you hire a guide he will let you know where should not fly... And I know that the cost of issuing permits is about $ 1500. However, when you take a permit and shoot, supervisor accompanies you to supervise by various agencies. You have to pay the cost of these people. This cost is about $ 100 per day per supervisor. And it takes about a month to get a permit, so it costs too much to shoot for nonprofit purposes.

[@TheNewnan3]

D@mn! Ill have a guide and porters so hopefully they can clue me in....

[@SKYMediaworks]

You do not need to hire both porters and guides. some guide may do porter roles at the same time. In this case, the guide will carry your luggage about 20Kg. And the Khumbu area is too dangerous, so I recommend you to hire a guide.

dji카페에서 즐겁게 보고있습니다 질문이 있는데 이런 음원은 도대체 어디서 구하시나요? 자멘도,유튜브에는 안나오던데요

[@SKYMediaworks]

이음원은 audiomachine.com에서 구매했구요.. 음원은 보통 영상을 촬영하기전에 머리속의 촬영장소 이미지와 맞는 분위기의 음악을 미리 선곡해서 촬영내내 음악을 들으면서 음악의 분위기에 씬을 맞추려고 노력하는 편입니다.... 좋은 음악은 필요할때 구하기보다는 늘 여러 사이트를 보고 좋은 영상을 보면서 미리미리 모아두는 편입니다 ^^

[@studiored2059]

Chris Jeon 그럼 안산, 인천공모전 음원은 어디서 구하신건가요? 항상 음원 선택에서 시간이 너무 소요가되어서요 안산,인천 공모작 음원이 너무 좋던데요 출저좀 알수있을까요?

Thank you

선댓글 후감상! ㅎ

[@SKYMediaworks]

육해공님 ㅋㅋ 오타가 있어서 수정한거예요...

[@jungsuk6he085]

Chris Jeon 그 오타가 뭔진 모르겠지만 볼때마다 느낌이 달라요 ㅋㅋ 다른 영상들과 다른게 미지의 세계랄까요? 드론이 담아낼수있는 영상중 이보다 더 멋진곳은 지구를 나가야 가능할듯여^^

[@rabindramani]

Nice picture!! Two Requests: Instead of epic background music some soothing Himalayan music with flute, local drums or Tibetan trumpets might enhance the videography. Along with this, since the focus is on the mountain ranges, the music should follow the video and not otherwise. Best wishes!!

[@SKYMediaworks]

Thnak you for advice~! I'll like that try next time...

What's name of the soundtrack ?

[@SKYMediaworks]

The title of BGM is Lion's Heart by Audiomachine

Beautiful work. Did you get my mail? Best regards Andri Magnason

[@devamawasthi9981]

can i use your drone footage in my video for 5 secs

[@nishtagram2802]

Devam Awasthi no..it was done illigally..he was not given permisson to fly a drone above khumbu area

[@thuytientran8030]

Hi

[@nishtagram2802]

nice but sad to say our government didnt gave permission to fly drone in this area

[@abhithokar5254]

wowwww..u done it beautifully but it's illegal in nepal to fly drone.

[@sullag]

Wow the image quality is impressive, great work ! I've made a first footage during my first trek kzbin.info/www/bejne/bn-qZYmMfaqiqdU but I want to be back with my Mavic, even if I don't think I would have the same quality as yours, the Phantom4 seems to be a lot better ! But wasn't it too heavy to carry it for 16 days?! Really amazing video anyway ! What kind of post treatment do you used? it looks so great

[@4KNature]

Thanks for the amazing content
