    • @waful77

      I didn’t not have to register it because I did not use the drone for commercial use. If you’re just a hobbyist and you are not doing it to make money, you don’t need to register. Hope that helps.

      The drone is a DJI Mavic air 2. There are much newer ones but I still find the footage out of it to be really good. If you’re new to drones, just take it outside and practice it a lot before going somewhere where you want to get good footage. The DJI drone also has good quick shot options where it will lock onto a subject and do cool pans around it. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have anymore questions

    I do have a question about your journey back to Guatemala City to catch the flight back home from lake Atitlan. Did you leave the day before your flight or the day of? I have a 8 PM flight so hoping to leave lake Atitlan by 8 AM but not sure if 12 hours will be enough with Guatemala traffic?

    • @waful77
      @waful77  Рік тому

      Thank you for the nice comment!! Yeah you should have plenty of time to make that flight. Traffic was really bad for us by the city in our way to the airport back home but still was only an hour longer at most. We did stay an extra day in Antigua because we needed to get a COVID test back when that was required.

      It was not very expensive at all! The most expensive place was probably Antigua. But the volcano hike was very affordable for the experience. I get very safe during my travels here. Have fun at the volcano in March! I recommend working out/training before going to make the hike easier.

    We will retire in 5 months, move to Mexico and take several years to slow travel south to Argentina, stopping and living in different cities along the way, looking for our retirement home. Both Antigua and Lake Atitlan are on our list. Would you tell your parents to retire there ?
    Thx !

    • @waful77
      @waful77  Рік тому +1

      I love this! If it were up to me, I would prefer Antigua over lake atitlan. Lake Atitlan is a nice place to visit but I couldn’t see myself living there due to the boat transportation systems. Antigua is a pretty built up city with lots of things to do and while we were there there was an event going on in the city center. But that’s just my personal preference. Lake atitlan is more quiet and peaceful though so it’s up to your personal preference. Enjoy your trip! Sounds amazing!!

    Hey Chris! I just found you on youtube and watch your videos on Belize and the Guatemala one! Really great story telling and edition man! Congrats! I have so many questions to ask you. But I guess Ill start w the most important one for me. What equipment do you use to record and photograph during your traveling? I would really appreciate if you could share w me. I really liked the music you choose for your videos too! I hope you get to do more traveling to Guatemala since it is impossible to see everything it has to offer in just one trip.
    I am from Guatemala and love my country and know some good places + recommendations of people and establishments you could use as reference If that some how helps planning your trips and traveling. I admire you and what your doing with your channel, I guess there is so many of us who would love to travel as much as you are doing. Cheers and buena onda! Hope I get to hear from you!

I do use a gopro 8 as well but the more I travel and record, the more I use the iPhone for its convenience (always in my pocket). The drone shots are all done with a DJI Mavic air 2. I really appreciate the offer to provide recommendations of where to go when I travel in Guatemala again. I hope to go back soon and when I do I’ll reach out to you.

How windy did it seem when you launched from basecamp as I know sometimes its can get really windy there (trying to determine how to know when its safe enough to fly the drone cause I dont want to lose them lol) and do you recall around how many minutes it took to fly over to Fuego to get those shots? Also do you think its too windy at the summit to launch too? Thanks!

    What brand and Model Drone did you use for the volcano shots! Awesome video!

      This was shot on a DJI Mavic air 2. There have been many newer models that have been released since mine but I still find the footage to be great!

      We were in Antigua in December. I enjoyed watching the videos of your hike up the volcano. Unfortunately the tours don't want 60+. I just got my GF a DJI mini 2. Website says, "small but mighty!" From the model description mini probably would not fare so well in the wind and heat of an active volcano!

      I would agree that using a mini in this situation is probably not a good idea. Mostly due to the wind aspect.

    Do you have to have a pretty fancy drone to send it that far away from you? Don't they work via your phone signal, which means you would need cellular data to be available? Thank you.

      DJI drone used for this. They connect to your phone only to display live camera view but the signal is done from the controller to the drone. I had my phone on airplane mode while using the drone. No need for cellular connection

      @waful77  5 місяців тому

      I usually just is my phone for most of the footage. Occasionally use the gopro 8. The the drone is the dji Mavic 2 air.

    How much was a cab from Antigua to lake attilan?

    • @waful77

      We hired a private driver for that and I honestly cannot remember. However there are shuttles that go back and forth for quite cheap if you are looking for least expensive option.

    Love it but I can’t do crowds. Wish I can reserve the volcano all to myself.
