Hi! I guess the whole idea of this trekking originated from the climbing a few years ago, when we went down to the valley for a day, but stayed there only overnight. This time it was decided to go on our own and we began to prepare for this climbing almost one year beforehand: choosing and buying the necessary stuff.
There are different routes to Elbrus, but the most picturesque of them is along the river Irik. It is a completely wild route with tents and backpacks, which is located on the eastern side of the mountains. First, it runs through a forest above a precipice with a whitewater river, then through mountain meadows with wild horses and curious gophers. Next, your way lies through the breathtaking Martian landscapes: only stones, centuries-old glaciers, and endless expanses that we observed from the pass of the Red Bump.
The fastest way to climb Elbrus is from the southern side. First, on elevators, then on a snowcat, and then on foot.
Shooted on:
DJI Mavic Air 2 in HDR mode 30fps.
A standard set of ND filters from a fly more combo set, as well as CPL and ND-PL set from PGYTECH.
Ground footages were taken on iPhone XR in 4k 60fps & 1080p 240fps.
Plugins:
Magic Bullet Colorista
Flicker free
Neat video
Handy transitions
This is my first more or less serious copter after some Chinese and the first flights were done in "combat" conditions. Shooting was not easy: the lack of cellular communication and therefore good maps in the application, a strong gusty wind, difficult topography because of which we had to constantly to monitor shooting process in QuickShots modes. And, of course, only 3 batteries for a week without of a possibility to charge.
