If you want to know just how drones have changed and impacted the art of filmmaking in the outdoor adventure space, then look no further than this clip. It features skier Sam Favret on the hill, making a perfect downhill run, with the entire thing caught on video thanks to a drone. This is three minutes of pure exhilaration, and a shot like this one simply wouldn’t have been easily accessible for adventure filmmakers all that long ago. This is the nexus of action sports and technology, and it is a lot of fun to watch.
