Amazing start with bee eaters they're so beautiful. Oh and what a mess honey badgers are!!! Beautiful capture of swallow. Sad on your starlink. 😂 elon to blame. Good info on the drone details. Waiting for your next. Good video enjoyed much
The Drone really helps tell the story of your time in Botswana giving nice perspective to where you are and what you are busy with. Love the wildlife photography and how you capture them as well.
@J.Dibble I think there are a few reasons: people flying too close and scaring animals, people getting out of vehicles, poachers using drones to find animals. But even when I have suggested that I pay for a ranger to accompany me to ensure all the rules are followed they have still not given me permission. You can get permission to fly a helicopter over national parks, but that gets very expensive 🙂
Andrew and Robert, I'm stuck between whether your relationship is Tom and Jerry or Pumba and Timon-ish.. But what im sure of is i love what you do, keep growing and showcasing this beautiful paradise i call home ❤️❤️❤️🇧🇼🇧🇼🇧🇼
Our pleasure. That was filmed a few months ago, but I am currently at Serondela Lodge on the Chobe river and the Chobe is still very low. Not sure about the Zambezi, but they are connected.
Thanks. Very different in the rainy season. Some of the roads become impassable and the bush gets thick so the predators are harder to find. But lots of greenery and birdlife, baby animals, etc.
Amazing video - loved the drone footage, and thank you for the information on how to get a drone license in Botswana - it sounds almost impossible for someone to land in Botswana, walk into CAAB / Police station with a drone and get it licensed for that trip, given the time lines involved :). Also a bit curious- what the red and white tapes stuck on the glovebox at 2:28 are for?
Thanks. Yes, currently it takes at least a month to get permission. There is meant to be some sort of "tourist drone license" but they have not yet decided how that will work. I put a bit of tape on my cards when they are copied and ready to be formatted and I usually format the card while I am in the passenger seat. So each one of those bits of tape represents ~2TB of footage 😂
@@MovingPicturesAfrica Whoa! So much data to be managed! I wonder how you go about memory / memory card management during your trips. Looking forward to a few tips on that in an upcoming video.
@AnuroopKrishnanPhotography yeah I should do an entire video on data management in the field. Nowadays I'm shooting 8K high frame rate and I average over 1TB per day.
@@andremeyer7491 thanks Andre. I have not used the R6 much yet. The 60-600 is amazing just because of the range, but it is obviously not quite as fast or as good as the Canon 200-400. But I think the tradeoff is worth it. After my last shoot in a dusty location there was dust inside the lens and the zoom had become quite stiff, so you have to treat it a bit more carefully. Sigma did clean it under warranty very quickly 👍
@MovingPicturesAfrica great to hear their warrenty is good. I have one on my R6 and yes the range is amzing. On a budget its worh it but tracking a flying bird is very difficult but Im not sure if its the camera's focus issue or the lens. Appart from that great lens. Those drone shots are lovely

@@zachariasdebeer1512 thanks very much 🙂
The dronefootage is so beautiful! Nice to see it a bit more in this episode, it makes the landscape look more beautiful than it already is🙌
@@smetlenn6480 thanks Smet. Yeah I'd love to be able to fly in national parks. Hopefully one day there will be a way.
@@MovingPicturesAfrica Do you know what the objection is to drones in the parks? Is it the noise?

@@drustravelogue-zj8sc 😂 thanks very much
Thanks Rob and Andy. Like your easy watching and listening style.
What are the water levels like ? Saw that Vic falls had a reasonable flow now

Beautiful video. How is the rainy season in Maun, Moremi, and the Chobe area. Thank you.

Great footage. 😊 What do you think was the critter escaping the drone at 1:18?
Thanks J. It was a hippo
Nice video in a geeat spot as usual. Thank you for sharing. I noticed you are using a R6? How are you finding the Sigma 60-600mm?

@@andremeyer7491 thanks Andre. And thanks for being a channel member 👍
Does the Botswana CAA require everything to be notarized like South Africa does for like everything?
IIRC yes they do.
