In 2024 and 2025, DJI drones, specifically the Mavic 3 Pro and Mavic 4 Pro, achieved record-setting, high-altitude flights over Mount Everest, capturing 8K footage of the summit at 8,848 meters. These drones, often operated with 8KRAW, showcased remarkable stability in high winds (up to 50 km/h) and thin air.

We walked the Point Lookout Gorge walk, and I got the drone up to see the cliffs. For a sense of scale, there are people in this picture sitting near the top of the gorge wall.
