Description: I am very grateful to Czech climber Klára Kolouchová, who invited me to join her at U.S. International expedition to the second highest peak of the World, mystic K2 at Karakoram, Pakistan! This is a short movie about flying a drone at high altitude at Camp I (6334 m a.s.l.). Full documentary movie will come soon. You can check our expedition at: http://www.klarakolouchova.cz

This is film by Petr Jan Juračka, 2016. You are welcome to check my webpage: at http://www.juracka.eu, as well as my page at Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/petrjanjuracka and Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/petrjanjuracka.
UPDATE ABOUT THE RECORD:
After publishing this video I am receiving links to interesting to great drone videos at high altitude. Great polish film maker David Kaszlikowski sent me this unique footage of David Lama and Corey Rich: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qchy7BVid9Q. It made a bit sad, as I was going to delete my record from the title. BUT! When checking flying log I found, that my take-off altitude was 3664 m a.s.l., what I can confirm when checking the satellite image. So, I am still not aware of any other higher flight of another commercial and civil drone :-) However, there are more higher flight with custom build drones, i.e., by awesome John Griffith who flew at 6500 this spring. Later on, I was reached by Lukas Furtenbach, who flew his drone in the same season at 8000 at Everest CIV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjsY-qmH3O0 Congratulations dude!

Despite two drones DJI Phantom 3 Advanced (aerial footage), I recorded the video with new Nikon D500 in 4K, while the timelapse has been done with Nikon D810A.

I would like for a help with the voice over: Zach and Amanda Settewongse, Mark Shuttleworth, Michal Zima, Jan Duchoslav, David Fiala and TV Nova studios.
Some of of the archive footage was recorded by Vojta Duchoslav (2013).
I was allowed to record the voice over in the studios of TV NOVA, Prague. Thank you, guys!

Here's a travel tip from us here at AirVūz...Grab your drone and get over to the Philippines NOW!
The Philippines, located in Southeast Asia, is a perfect destination to hop from island to island, city to city, and UNESCO site to UNESCO site to get that drone footage. This country has over a thousand islands, including Palawan and Coron, that are surrounded by sparkling seas, tropical jungles, and heavenly beaches. If that's not enough to entice you, then perhaps the bustling citylife of Manila is more your thing? Or there is always the remarkable steps of the Ifugao Rice Terraces to capture from an aerial view! Whether you're exploring Boracay, Cebu, or Bohol make darn sure you capture those spots from above and share your drone videos with the community here on AirVūz!
Check out all the aerial footage of the Philippines in the collection of drone videos below! Also, don't forget to show these contributors some love with some comments, likes, and follows!

The ancient jungle city of Angkor had a water system so advanced, it used techniques similar to those used today in the Netherlands. #WhatOnEarth
