If you have wondered what it's like me to working as a hybrid videographer and photographer in Alaska then this vlog is for you. Come with me as I got to work with a helicopter company to take people ice climbing and glacier ice cave exploring.

I love your "ride along" videos Jake. Please keep 'em coming as time and situations allow. This is the kinda views of Alaska we don't get in other places.

@JakeSloan Ай бұрын

Thanks John!

Awesome Jake! It's so cool seeing all the different shots that you get not only with the drone, but the camera... always Inspirational, too! Those ice caves are a trip, such an other-worldly looking experience!

@JakeSloan Ай бұрын

Thanks Mark, ice caves are amazing every single time. it's definitely like walking into another planet

@nbrettoner Ай бұрын

Hi Jake yes totally enjoyed this. I found your BTS coverage most interesting, and a great insight into the Alaskan world of discovery. Quite exciting. Especially for those of us who would love to be there but can't. So again, thankyou good sir. looking forward to "More!, more !! " 🙃🤠

Great video! I like the "behind the behind-the-scenes", interesting to watch you direct the people and explain your thoughts on shots/angles etc. This is likely the closest Ill ever get to being a helicopter photographer in Alaska so I appreciate you showing what (part of) its like! :D

@@JakeSloan, You took off from the end of East Knik River road. It looks like you headed up towards Knik Glacier and then around the Corner towards Colony Glacier, and it looks like you were somewhere up in that area, but I haven't been there in well over 15 years so my mental map of the area is not good enough to pin it down any closer than that.

Of course we like these videos Jake. Anything you do is visually interesting and we learn a lot. How do the Mavic batteries hold up in those temperatures (-20C and windy)? My Inspire 2 self warming batteries are needed around Zero, and I am soft, needing hand warmers or my fingers lock up on the controller.

@JakeSloan Ай бұрын

they hold up well if you keep them warm before flight, you still loose about 20-30%

You have my respect. Although I’m comfortable in cold conditions, I really despise having to dress appropriately. I just can’t function properly restricted by multiple thick layers. Age has a lot to do with that I think. But I’m incredibly happy you’re showing me these places . Every where you go looks amazing.

Frozen waterfalls & ice caves, not something we see very often here in Australia,if ever! Do you use the DJI Pocket 3 as a work tool much? Seriously thinking of getting one. Great BTS video Jake, more please!

@JakeSloan Ай бұрын

I do if you watch my drone vs camera video, 5 drone shots and Sony's most undervalued lens (3 of the most recent 5 videos) those were all filmed largely on the pocket 3

Very insightful. I love seeing what you do and how you do it. Also helps to live in Alaska right? I have been to Alaska a few times but never have had enough time or resources to do much photography. I did a photo/drone video project for a friend that owns a fishing lodge in Excursion Inlet. Such an incredible place! Keep up the good work.
