Drone Filming in Greenland

In April I spent 3 weeks in Greenland, Tasiilaq capturing aerial shots for Freakfilms. They are producing a documentary for the new BBC Scotland Channel which follows the Charity ‘Polar Academy’ as they take 10 school kids cross-country skiing across Greenland. As well as filming with the drone I was also providing logistics for the ground camera guy, sorting him out with batteries and cards etc. The kids spent over a year training for expedition and just as well as it looked pretty tough pulling their own sledges with all their kit.

The Inspire 2 held up so well in the cold and I barely noticed a reduction in flight time! Getting to Tasiilaq involved 2 flights and a helicopter, thankfully all 19 peli cases of kit turned up! As we were shooting in such a remote location it was imperative that all the kit was checked and double-checked as well as having backups of everything. I brought 2 Inspire 2’s and the little Mavic Pro 2 as a backup backup! Fortunately they weren’t needed!
