Aerial Video: Winter flight over Graakallen, Trondheim, Norway

As you may know we invested in a DJI Phantom Vision 2+ flying camera/drone/UAV/RPAS last year here at Grown-up Travel Guide and have been addicted ever since. No matter what you call it – as you can see, these things have many names – there’s no denying that being able to film in full HD and take high quality photos from the air opens up a whole new dimension. We’re just starting to scratch the surface of what we can do with our machine in a travel context – so watch this space!

Whilst we have published a few clips on our YouTube channel it seems a waste not to put them up here too, hence this new section on the blog.

Naturally you’ll see a lot of footage filmed here in Norway but I have also taken the bird with me to the USA and Denmark and plan to travel with it as much as possible in 2015.

I shot this aerial video on a perfect winter day in January here in Trondheim, Norway but didn’t have time to edit it before my trip to Dubai. I was itching to do so on my return and finally cut it together this afternoon. You can reach Graakallen by bus from the centre of town but feel like you are all alone in the Norwegian wilderness after walking for a few minutes – wonderful stuff.

Enjoy 🙂

I know what it's like to go from being a crazy backpacker without a care in the world, via being a vaguely sensible parent to being an adventurer once more. In other words, evolving into a Grown-up Traveller.

Like everyone else, I love to travel, have visited a lot of countries and all that but my big thing is Africa.

I also own and run The Grown-up Travel Company as a travel designer creating personalised African itineraries for experienced adventurers
