It’s quite humbling when people pop down to our country for a visit and take time during their travels to shoot the variety of landscapes it has to offer.

In return, we get epic videos that we can use to show off a bit.

The latest person to do so caught many South African’s attention with his story:

We wanted to visit South Africa and Lesotho so much, but was sometimes worried about the security over there. Friends and families told us that South Africa was so insecure and that we shouldn’t go to this country without a operator tour. But we decided to go anyway and visit this amazing country.

I also decided to record a small movie about our journey to show our friend how amazing it was. So this movie is about our journey (18days) through South Africa, From Johannesburg to Drakensberg and also Lesotho, the Kingdom in the sky!

Now, as locals, we know just how safe it is to “road trip” through South Africa. People travel our roads daily and all in all it’s pretty safe – just no wrong turns and you’re fine.

But even though Michel Vespasien didn’t know what awaited him, he took the risk anyway and produced this epic travel video – titled “Never road trip to South Africa. it’s not safe (they said)”:

While Vespasien’s title managed to rile up a few opinionistas, we can’t but help appreciate the beauty he captured, even if it was in only one small part of our country (and Lesotho).

If you know you can do better, but are missing the most important factor, i.e. a drone, WeFix has got you covered.

Pop onto their site – here – and you can get yourself a DJI drone at a cracking price, as well as gadgets and repairs for your trusty steed.

If you have been eyeing out the DJI Mavic Pro but are scared of the price you’re going to pay, WeFix has just introduced another option: the DJI Spark.

Just like its name suggests, it’s smaller and only costs R8 699 – compared to the R19 999 price tag on the Mavic Pro – so you don’t have to invest too much to begin your life as your friends’ go-to drone person.

From WeTalkUAV, these are some of the pros when investing in a DJI Spark:

The DJI Spark may only be a Full-HD drone, but the sensor on the Spark is the same as the Mavic. If you are a vlogger, then the intelligent flight modes such as rocket and dronie can help you get the best angles.

You can even operate the Spark without a controller!

The battery life is rated at 15 minutes, but it’s easy to carry multiple batteries. One great factor is that this UAV can easily be charged via micro-usb!

The Spark can easily be used as a one shot take kind of drone since you can get it ready fast to capture a priceless moment.

If noise is an issue, then the Spark is a great drone to consider since its smaller motors are significantly quieter than other consumer drones.

Oh, and here’s what that whole “without a controller” comment means:

Yeah, I want one too!
