Belikin Beer, a laptop and Marie Sharp's hot sauce. What else could you need?
Filming aerials in Belize for Discovery Channel presented as many challenges as it did rewards. First of all, to get our UAVs to the filming location involved a dugout canoe ride upriver for an hour, followed by a half-mile hike uphill through the mud to get to our farm HQ. Once batteries were charged (using only solar chargers), it was time to hike the gear another mile uphill to the top of a mountain where we filmed each day. So the aerial footage we captured was that much sweeter, knowing what it took to get it up there. Sweeping valley vistas, dense jungle canopies, flowing rivers... Belize had it all in abundance. In the end we got some great footage for our show, which airs in a couple months - watch for our announcement to tune in!
