This 4K drone video made in New Mexico features a remote area of desert and mountain in Valencia County, about one hour south of Albuquerque. I drove my Jeep Renegade Trailhawk down 7 miles of unmaintained dirt road to reach this location for a rural land client. While waiting for the sun to go down to make the last of the photos I needed to, I flew my DJI Mavic Pro drone over the desert and toward the mountains. The wind was strong, giving high wind warnings on the drone's remote control, so I dared not go higher nor closer to the mountains.
I visited Deer Canyon Preserve near Mountainair, New Mexico two times in four days on rural land photography assignments. This video is a compilation of flying my DJI Mavic Prodrone both evenings. This is a private, gated community that has its own hiking and horse trails.
My brief time at Leo Carrillo State Park in Malibu, California flying my DJI Mavic Pro drone was incredibly fruitful. If I lived in Malibu I could produce nearly infinite drone photos of that stunning stretch of California coastline. Of particular interest to me was that small cove of rocks, which I have remarked before looks like a secret cache of dinosaur eggs!
In full disclosure this is my Jeep Renegade TrailhawkI just got three weeks ago that is featured in this 4K drone video made in the Rio Rancho, New Mexico area on remote fire roads in the Southern Blvd area. Jessica was in the passenger seat and the pilot for this video, though I used the intelligent flight mode Active Tracking in the DJI Go 4 app, so all she had to do was to make sure the Mavic Pro kept the Jeep in frame. It was a lot of fun being out in the desert having an adventure and being able to make a unique home movie of sorts of this exploring!
I only got to spend a very brief time in Malibu, California. Fortunately, it was spent at the stunning Leo Carrillo State Park, which I just happened to pick out on a map to visit! You have seen my bird's eye view drone photos of this park, now you can see the view from my DJI Mavic Pro drone!
It took far too long to visit Petroglyphs in Albuquerque New Mexico. Many times on my way to photographing rural land properties in Rio Rancho had I past it. Finally, a brief visit was possible just to Black Volcano. A short 4K drone video of Black Volcano is featured above.
4K drone video and aerial drone videos are not just for 7-figure real estate properties on acres of land. Even a more modest house on a very small lot can benefit from the unique viewpoint drone video and photos provided. For example, 3648 Arboleda Senda NE in Albuquerque, New Mexico was a challenge because of the large trees right in front of the house and the close proximity of neighboring homes. I still found a way, in less than 10 minutes of flying time, to feature the house using my DJI Mavic Pro drone to show its setting at the foot of the Sandia Mountains and how pretty it is to have those flowering trees out front.
