    • @waful77
      @waful77  Год назад +2

      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.

    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  Год назад +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!!

      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.

    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. I have a Costa Rica video I am working on now, then an Iceland series, then switcherland. I am way behind in editing. Haha thanks again

    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  Год назад

      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.

    • @scb9
      @scb9 Год назад

      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!

    • @waful77
      @waful77  Год назад

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

    • @waful77
      @waful77  Год назад

      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

    Wow Chris! amazing drone footage of Fuego and Pacaya! the best drone footage I've seen of Fuego and while it is erupting! Im planning to do this in April and drone it with my Mavic Air. 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!

      At base camp it wasn’t too windy for
      Us but between basecamp and fuego it took around 5-7 mins of flight time

      Also at the summit it was incredibly windy and was obvious that if you flew a drone you’d lose it

      @@waful77 oh awesome, that is very helpful to know it isnt too far of a flight over. If only I had the newer drones with those long flight times haha. Not sure if the Avata would make it back in time from basecamp...so the ridge hike (which i dont really want to do cause its so much more hard hiking and not sure how my knees will hold up all trip) would be needed if I wanted up close shots.

      @@waful77 must be luck of the draw that day for how calm or windy it will be up there. Seems like some people were able get shots up there.

      I wanted to do the ridge hike but they didn’t offer to take us that close when I went. Just be aware that may happen.

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