I'm amazed that Renan Ozturk pulled off photographing
Everest in a stunning 360-degree panorama by drone at 23,000 ft in 2019. It's an incredible achievement considering
the odds against him. Extreme wind, elevation, and cold are often no goes for a
drone to fly. From what I understand, it
was a Freefly Alta X , drones like this aren't typically designed to fly half
that elevation. Cold batteries don't produce enough lift for safe takeoff. And
drones will not come back if the wind exceeds the drone's max airspeed. I lost
one this way.
