Mountain information site YAMAKEI Online Compact drone DJI "Mavic mini" that shoots dynamic mountain scenery | That person's mountain tool [4]

A series "That person's mountain tools" asking that mountain lover about his favorite mountain tools.In the fourth, we will walk through the mountains around Hokkaido and ask Toru Tani, who introduces the charm in videos, about DJI's drone Mavic mini.

It has been two years since I started aerial photography of mountain scenery.The first drone I got is DJI's Mavic Pro.After that, I purchased DJI's Mavic Air, Mavic Mini, and Mavic Air2.Automatic shooting mode, three -axis gimbal function camera, automatic return, obstacle avoidance function, etc. are standard equipment, and has a function that even beginners can control immediately.

For models that carry around the mountains, the model is selected according to the mountain climbing form to use the characteristics of each model.

Until now, I had been carrying a single -lens digital camera or high -performance compact digital camera, but since I started using a drone, video shooting was the center, high -performance compact digital camera, DJI's OSMO POCKERT (ultra -lightweight (ultra -lightweight)).Video cameras with gimbal) are becoming mainstream.Just as mountain gears change with the times, the shooting form is changing in me.

As the angle of view is greatly expanded, you can put the mountains of the distant view in one piece along with the summit, or show the moving landscape, such as climbers standing on the top, climbers walking along the ridgeline.

さて、今回ご紹介するMavic miniは、先日、知床連山縦走で持ち歩いた機種です。バッテリーを含め重量199gで航空法の規制対象外(*)の機種であり、モバイルバッテリーからの充電ができるのが最大の利点でもあります。*知床連山は国有林・国立公園の区域のため、各管理機関に飛行のための入林許可を別途頂いています。

Until now, even if you have two spare batteries, there is no mountain hut that can supply power, so the flight time has been restricted.However, this Mavic mini can be charged from a mobile battery, so it has been able to secure about nine flight time (162 minutes = 120 minutes) from the mobile battery brought.Due to the restrictions on strong winds, weather, and time schedule, it was not possible to fly unlimited, but it was a satisfactory flight time and shooting.
