What are some of the issues you encountered while flying in the extreme conditions of the Austrian mountains?

What are the benefits of using the Inspire 2 and Zenmuse X7 in these conditions?

How did you find shooting in the lighting on the mountain?

Would you recommend the new Zenmuse X7?

Absolutely, especially if you shoot aerial video professionally and already own a DJI Inspire 2. It’s a no-brainer to invest in this small yet powerful bit of technology. To me, the cinematic images produced by the X7 are unlike any seen from a drone camera before. The camera is obviously designed for the high-end production environment and will require proper handling in post-production. It’s not as ‘plug in and play’ as the Zenmuse X5S but in the right hands, the X7 will produce great images. You should take the time to learn the strengths of the X7 to get the most out of it.
