    Headed to Juneau, AK, next week

    There are some great places to fly around Juneau, keep an eye on where you are and keep the drone relatively close by there are a lot of small aircraft and helicopters in the area and they tend to fly low a lot of the time. Mendenhall glacier is outside of the controlled airspace just be aware...

    I filmed these shots this year in various places. Hope you enjoy some of the sights of Alaska. All drone work was a Mavic 2 Pro and the timelapses were filmed with my A7iii

    Process for videoing a moving boat

    I shot this boat just doing a manual orbit from the shore. The M2P is certainly capable of keeping up.

    Taking drone on vacation for first time.

    Hey I hope you enjoy your trip up here! Alaska has some beautiful places to fly but also be aware that a LOT of places the cruise ships visit are National Parks and it is not allowed to fly. Be sure to check an app like a AirMap for where you are and always be watching and listening for small...

    The Alaska life in Seward Alaska using the Mavic 2 pro

    Homer is great! I need to get back there this year. Haven’t been there in the last 3 years. I’m planning a trip to exit glacier here soon so the timing might just be right [emoji6]. Thanks for subscribing!! Hopefully I’ll be able to help you remember your time here

    If you get the chance to go get a bite to eat try to get in at the glacier brew house. I’d recommend calling in for reservations for sure. Downtown has some nice places to go see. If it’s a nice day def take a stroll.

    The Alaska life in Seward Alaska using the Mavic 2 pro

    The Alaska life in Seward Alaska using the Mavic 2 pro

    Seward is a beautiful area. If you have the chance to go the glaciers on a smaller tour boat that is WORTH IT! Glaciers are incredible to see first hand. If you’ve seen some of my other videos you’ll know lol. Whale watching is great too. Are you driving from Seward to Anchorage? If not take the...

    Lol good point! I was viewing whales from a safe distance... actually much further away than it looks on the video. Filming in 4K and cropping in makes a big difference!!
