On my camping trips I usually take a small drone along. Originally I used a DJI Mavic Mini and more recently I have upgraded to a DJI Mavic Air 2S.
The drones are a lot of fun to fly and literally give you a different perspective of the Scottish scenery below. I mainly record drone footage of lochs & castles but beaches and general landscapes will also crop up from time to time.
- Tour of Tormore DistilleryA wee tour of Tormore Distillery in Speyside, Scotland. I found out how Scotch whisky is made and enjoyed a fascinating day out.
