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!

AFTER CHINA AND VIETNAM
PHL is 3rd fastest growing economy in Asia
Published January 23, 2018 1:28pm
By JON VIKTOR D. CABUENAS, GMA News
The Philippines remains one of the fastest growing economies in Asia, the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) said Tuesday, citing results of the gross domestic product (GDP) in 2017.
Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Ernesto Pernia said the Philippines is the third fastest growing economy in Asia with a full-year GDP of 6.7 percent last year.
“This stable performance brings our full-year growth in 2017 to 6.7 percent—a strong finish that keeps our position as one of the fastest growing economies in Asia after China’s 6.9 and Vietnam’s 6.8 percent,” he said during a press briefing in Pasig City.
The economy grew by 6.6 percent in the fourth quarter of last year, driven mainly by the industry sector to lift the full-year growth to 6.7 percent, the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) said.
In the third quarter of 2017, Pernia noted the Philippines was the second fastest-growing economy in Asia—next to Vietnam’s 7.5 percent and ahead of China’s 6.8 percent.
It was a “strong finish” last year following 6.9 percent in 2016—an election year, Pernia said.
“To me, this is a good performance, given the fact that it is already normal for post-election years to witness a decline in economic growth,” he said.
GDP is the value of goods and services produced by a country in a given period.
Placing a drag on the economy was the decline in business process outsourcing (BPO) as the industry was starting to “mature,” the Cabinet official noted.
“We must note that a major contributing factor to this decline was miscellaneous services, which includes the BPO industry—business processing outsourcing,” he said.
“We can take this as an indication that the current market profile of the BPO sector is ripe to move into higher value-added services,” added Pernia, who is also director general of NEDA.
While the BPO sector has already reached a plateau, NEDA Undersecretary Rosemarie Edillon said.
“It's still growing, it’s still not contracting. Positive pa rin ang growth, but we are seeing medyo nagplaplateau na siya. It has already reached some steady state,” she said.
PSA data showed miscellaneous service activities— which includes the BPO sector—grew by 7.6 percent in 2017, compared with 8.6 percent in 2016.
“The way for it to grow much, much more is for it to diversify into higher value-added services," Edillon noted.
BPO workers must adapt to the technological advancements and train in big data analytics and artificial intelligence for this to be addressed, she said. —VDS, GMA News
