Sandro Gromen-Hayes’ K2 Summit From a Drone #drone #droneday
ExplorersWeb shared Sandro Gromen-Hayes’ K2 footage, the risks of thin-air flight and how drones are unveiling ‘summit secrets’:
It was nearly a miracle that the drone worked at 8,611m. Especially since Gromen-Hayes struggled previously to pilot drones at high altitude.
“[When] I first tried to fly a drone above 8,000m on Manaslu, the controller died before it could take off, and I got frostnip trying to sort it out,” he explained. “On K2 in winter, I flew at 7,100m, and the drone kept falling out of the sky.”
Welcome to drone day on the Adafruit blog. Every Monday we deliver the latest news, products and more from the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), quadcopter and drone communities. Drones can be used for video & photography (dronies), civil applications, policing, farming, firefighting, military and non-military security work, such as surveillance of pipelines. Previous posts can be found via the #drone tag and our drone / UAV categories.
