Superyachts show off their best sides in drone movies #LandSeaAir (Source: edition.cnn/2014/11/17/sport/sailing-drones/) Welcome to the glamorous life of the sailing drone operator. Justice L Bentz, 26, lives in Antigua and shoots video profiles of some of the world’s most expensive private yachts. Not a bad life. But it does come at the cost of wearing a black bag on your head. “Sometimes, I fly the drone with my head in a trash bag so I don’t get salt spray from the sea on my equipment,” Bentz explains. “I’m inside the bag, looking at my monitor and basically playing a video game — watching that screen and securing myself so I don’t get thrown around. We go out in the craziest conditions, and the Caribbean winds are really strong.” If Bentz isn’t the most appealing sight, out on deck in a black bag, his footage is a different story. Drones have revolutionized what is possible with a camera, but rarely does the end product match this vista of superyachts and Caribbean seas. (Source: edition.cnn/2014/11/17/sport/sailing-drones/)
