The tallest and most famous mountain in the world, Mount Everest, measures in at 29,032 feet. It is a hugely difficult accomplishment to summit, though every year, between 500 and 900 people make it to the top.
Without lifting a finger, you can now watch that entire summit in this 4 minute video, where a consumer drone is expertly piloted to the summit of Mount Everest.
Using a DJI Mavic 3, @liulangCooki shows us the enormous scale of the mountain, and the absolute wild beauty of it as it slowly climbs to over 29,000 feet (8839 meters).
We’re amazed that a $2000 consumer drone is powerful enough to climb to such heights, and bring back such stunning footage.
Equipped with a 4/3 CMOS Hasselblad Camera, the Mavic was able to fly multiple miles from the drone operator, and take cinema-quality footage the entire flight.
As the drone flew over each expansive ice field, the summit loomed large, showcasing its sheer height and power.
At summit, we’re greeted with stunning views of the Himalayas, and the knowledge that this is the highest point above sea level on the planet.

It was so impressive to fly over those many climbers!
Wow! Incredible to watch, especially as it soared effortlessly over the (surprisingly) many climbers along the way.
