Acrew of Chinese mountaineers and photographers flew an aerial drone from the top of Mount Everest, and the video captured by the device provides a totally new perspective of the world’s highest peak.
The peak of Mount Everest has been captured numerous times but not from the sky directly above the highest mountain. Recently, a Chinese team of mountaineers and photographers have successfully done so – for the first time ever.
Flying a new model of drone called DJI Mavic 3, the group of Chinese mountaineers captured the rare video footage of the highest mountain on the fine and sunny morning of May 27, 2022.
On May 27 the team reached the summit of the peak—it included videographers from 8KRAW, a Chinese photography company that works extensively with aerial drones. They flew a DJI Mavic 3, an aerial drone known for its performance at high altitudes. According to the website SUAS News—which covers the drone industry—the device was equipped with a 4/3 CMOS Hasselblad camera. The camera caught rare images of the summit of Mount Everest from above.
In a statement provided to SUAS News, Wang Yuanzong, the founder of 8KRAW, said the company started performing aerial photography on Mount Everest three years ago. “It was the team’s long-cherished wish to fly a drone at the top and complete the leap shooting,” he said. “The warm weather conditions on the summit day finally came true, and I am very grateful to Mount Everest for accepting us and allowing us to see it from a new perspective.”
