How I proposed to my girlfriend. Oh, yeah, of course with the drone!!! :)
AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :
AirVuz contributor MIAPVIDEOS picked an amazing place to propose to his girlfriend: Greece's Mt. Olympus! Being an avid drone pilot, he (of course) managed to record the great event as an aerial video. Hiking with his party high into the peaks of Greece's highest mountain, he pops the question at about the :55 mark. Receiving (we gather) the hoped-for response, the party gathers to celebrate with an epic dronie shot from the Chapel of the Prophet Elias, a 16th century church which lies about 120 meters (around 500 ft.) below the summit.

During a holiday in Greece with my girlfriend and friends, we went on the planned trek, to reach the hills of the Olympos mountain. Long time ago, I had this idea about proposing to my girlfriend and I could not think of better place then Olympos. Since, I work with drones, I could not do that without flying a bird which actually brings the real ring:) Only one detail I had to manage, to get a cool effect, without having a controller in my hand. Automated mission when drone appears out of nowhere and stops flying above our heads, so I can easily reach for the ring. Sounds easy right? :) Considering the risks of loosing a drone and the diamond ring:) I did choose plan B. Quickly to teach my friend to operate the drone, which should be easy as well. Hmmm… Its just a few moves with the sticks. Well, what might be easy for me, might not be easy for others, especially when they never operated any drone before. Long story short. My friend done very well ,even though I was not in the footage much and most of it was out of focus, but the job was safely accomplished. And I have a nice memory from that day.
