The team reached the summit of Everest on 27 May and the video, which was released this week, shows mountaineers approaching the highest point on planet Earth in fantastic conditions, before the pilot sends the DJI Mavic 3 soaring right over the 8,848.86-metre peak until it reaches an altitude of more than 9km above sea-level. Viewers are then treated to a panoramic tour of the surrounding Himalayan mountain range set against the backdrop of a bright blue sky.

The lightweight build and folding design of the DJI Mavic 3 made it thebest droneto be taken up onto the roof of the world, and the quality of the material captured on the professional-grade 4/3 CMOS Hasselblad camera makes this video totally unprecedented.

“8KRAW continues to pursue the ultimate image,” company founder Wang Yuanzong told drone news channelsUAS, explaining that the company had begun shooting on Mount Everest in 2019. “As early as three years ago, we began to try aerial photography of Mount Everest. It was the team’s long-cherished wish to fly a drone at the top and complete the leap shooting. The light and reliable Mavic 3 with the ultimate image and the warm weather conditions on the summit day finally came true, and I am very grateful to Mount Everest for accepting us and allowing us to see it from a new perspective.”
