You mean take the easy route?!
Haha
Jokes aside, we had a drone up too, but at 50 mph and getting close to skiers it’s actually a lot safer to be on this thing (for the skier, not me)

Also I can shoot 50, 85, etc on a full frame sensor.

So you are right, that’s the more affordable and easier way, but this way is the coolest 😎
