Why would anyone attempt this?! Guy flying way too high in the mountains!

Sometimes I think you people just want to rant..... People will always push consumer tech to limits and that's why the companies make it be able to do something like this.

I swear some of you would say you have never broken the speed limit in your life.

I'm not ranting, I'm just putting the information out there. I just don't think it is correct to do this kind of thing, but if someone feels like it, then sure, go ahead.
I have also flown to 500 meters a couple of times, away from any airports, of course, and over fields, not over people, but hey, I have also done it, now I am not doing it anymore because I want to follow the rules, and I also don't want to lose my drone like this guy in the video did.

I am not advocating for people breaking rules so I want that to be clear.

However, with that being said pushing limits is in human nature, unfortunately pushing them then posting them to youtube seems to be as well.

While I would not do what that person did some of the best shots I have ever got theoretically could of pushed some limits.

I am more of a fan of don't be stupid, don't endanger people or property and just know where your flying.
 
Why? Becasue it's awesome, he seems to be in the middle of nowhere and since it was a year ago there likely wasn't much if any air traffic, which is easy to check for in the first place...

if you think I am arguing with you, your wrong :). I am just not "posting to youtube"
 
So I translated the transcript on the video. Here it is:
Code:
friends subscribers and viewers of my channel
hello everyone today on the test we have mavic
3
my old dream is how to take off on
drone
above Mount Everest
it's about i need to rise above
sea level above 8000 meters
I take off from above
3200 meters above sea level this is
mountains
here of course it always blows vitro I don't know
whether I succeed or not, but that's not
less i want to try
our battery is full
sport mode drone rises from
speed of 8 meters per second
checking information
to the battery
we look that everything is fine battery
full first charge cycle continue
rise yes friends want you like
remind that we have now a given time
new telegram chat therefore please
who didn't subscribe
subscribe
all of ours, as it were
friends programmers are located exactly in
our telegram chat
always tell you any how to
questions will be answered, so do not
forget to subscribe link
description under the video is also new with us
Telegram channel also subscribe and
so my friends, as it were, always
dreamed of flying above 8 thousand meters above
sea level at the same time I wanted
use both the stock battery and
double reinforced on magic 2 I have to
Unfortunately, I didn't even succeed
double batteries tried to take off well
there is likely to be very windy at the heights
big subway drone practically on
heavy battery does not charge
leaves
so that's what I would like right now
regular batteries and achieve this this
I hope I succeed
see that the rate of ascent is already
dropping friends
already drone don't fly means or strongly
rarefied air is there or is already blowing
wind the battery is still warming up normally
certainly
load then maximum so speed
lifting still dropping friends
it turns out that we have up to six meters in
a second even less can be said
decreased, reduces speed and
so friends
in the frame we have a large lake Issyk-Kul
which is in the mountains
so friends we have reached the mark 8000 65
meters above sea level, we flew higher
mountains everest
wow my dream came true
great i'm happy
we see the height, we begin the decline urgently
need to come down friends because
the battery may not be enough, we see that
charge 39 percent
he is falling fast
the winds are blowing now just as long as there is a drone
going down we'll take pictures frames
some pictures from all these angles
but the main thing is that the drone can descend from
such a height, as it were, let me remind you what it is
my first result is this
it was not possible to take off from the mountains to
almost five kilometers high
climbed obtained from the place of takeoff
to a height of 4 thousand eight hundred and sixty
five meters friends I think it's gorgeous
result
here when there was a small break
because my partner is the key chil irsi pro
from Mavik 3, too, and lightning-fast authors
I asked him to turn off the connection immediately
recovered because I could not
have time to decrease, too, as if there is a loss from
30 seconds of course she was nothing
terrible
let's hope I can make it
will decrease but you all know that
Drone descends 6 meters per second
rose 8 but in the end we have after
ten percent speed will drop
after the loops it will still fall and nothing
it does not change so our Maliki third
all parameters are practically closed for
dj changes over it's good
worked now we are looking at what
descent speed dropped to 3 meters in
second height is another 500 meters friends but
it's not in any framework, of course, I don't fit
I don’t know if the drone will have time to fall, it won’t have time
up to 0 percent that the blessing will not have time
that marik 3 pase 0 still flies there wrong
the battery runs out quickly
or two for a while you can fly
so I have hope that
/ I will plant safely and the battery will not
will be blocked and
height 300 meters don't know friends record
uniformly accelerated but when you fly in real life
it's very very slow
I'm waiting for the time when the drone drops, but
it's certainly not
what framework is a pleasure to us aviki
210 meters per second framed up
go down and even better turn off the engines
dropped below the surface for 200
meters started and all the throne is nearby, well, here
that's of course so friends see the height
150 meters speed decreased to
speed
a person 6 kilometers per hour with us
speed is generally we walk
friends zero percent height even more
hundred meters friends oh but I think we'll have time
we will have time to decrease the stock is on the battery
certainly
the battery is new, not just a wife and therefore
I think everything will be fine
I anyway
I hope it will be like this
descending very slowly friends very
but as they say again I'm at the limit
took off and returned to the limit
say flight time we see
battery still ok flight time 28
minutes of course no 46 minutes 40 to
even 30 minutes of speech cannot go
declared and jaina flight time is so
for show as they say actually
you can count but a maximum of 30 minutes
on a flight here I have in sport mode
when flying mountains 28 minutes friends
it turned out so keep in mind
do not think that the drone will fly you
as much as digi told us
digi constantly to us with the cunning of everything and
presents everything
So what is the actual legal limit for the altitude where he is flying? Dunno
I'm looking for the coordinates for the flight... A bit stickier...
In the US we have restrictions. But where this drone was deployed... who knows.
