Due to the manufacturing complexities, research & development, and cost of production for drones, flight controllers, motors, gimbals, obstacle avoidance sensors, high resolution 4K cameras, these tools can have a huge markup! Many opt to buy new, but when done carefully, buying used drones can be a wonderful way to save money while pursuing your dreams or hobbies as an aerial photographer / videographer and drone pilot.

On this trip to a waterfall in Iceland, I wanted to record a cinematic video of this amazing waterfall and place. In this location with the waterfall I first set up my camera and tripod to take long exposures, then I walked down the canyon closer to the waterfall and saw this sick opening in the landscape and thought it would be cool going through that space with my DJI Mavic 2 Pro while taking a video. I did exactly that and was really happy with the results.

The Calm of the Air: A Highland Journey 4K was made in a schedule of 9 days in April 2019, using my own funding to travel and stay in Scotland. As an insight into the weather of Scotland in April, only 3 of the 9 days had overcast or sunny weather, the remainder was a mixture of drizzle or heavy rain. As a result, most of the film was shot during those 3 days, and opportunistic pauses in the rain otherwise.

Here I take photos of the night sky and then separately take multiple exposures of the foreground while illuminating it with my drone and two Lume Cubes.
