Over Germany Vol. V (Drone Video)

in #travel5 years ago (edited)

 
Welcome back to another episode of Over Germany, my video series where we explore interesting places from the air! Today, among other places, we are visiting the Siersburg (Siersberg Castle) and the river Saar in the vicinity of Merzig.
 

Willkommen zu einer weiteren Episode von Over Germany, meiner Video-Serie, in der wir interessante Orte aus der Luft erkunden! Unter anderem besuchen wir heute die Siersburg (Burg Siersberg) und die Saar bei Merzig.

The castle complex of the Siersburg is visible from afar on a steep hilltop high above the Nied valley, shortly before the Nied flows into the Saar. The now ruined Siersburg is a high medieval hilltop castle in the district of Saarlouis, in the Saarland state of Germany. It was used as the state castle of the Duchy of Lorraine and is the former seat of the Lords of Siersberg-Dillingen, in close historical connection to the Old Castle in Dillingen on the opposite side of the Saar.
 

Die Burganlage der Siersburg liegt weithin sichtbar auf einer steilen Bergkuppe hoch über dem Tal der Nied kurz vor deren Mündung in die Saar. Die Siersburg ist die Ruine einer hochmittelalterlichen Höhenburg im Landkreis Saarlouis im schönen Saarland. Sie wurde als Landesburg des Herzogtums Lothringen genutzt und steht als ehemaliger Sitz der Herren von Siersberg-Dillingen in enger historischer Verbindung zum Alten Schloss in Dillingen auf der gegenüberliegenden Saarseite.

Beautiful shot! I really love the crispness of it. What type of drone are you using?

Thank you. I'm flying a DJI Mavic Air.

Awesome! I’ve been tempted to get one but with all the regulations I’m just not sure it’s worth it.

Posted using Partiko iOS

I like to think it's worth it. Some regs are downright stupid and I ignore them when safely possible. Others make good sense. To get an idea for your country, have a look at the "Air Map" app. Might help with the buying decision. Good luck.

I’ve looked at the regs when I was in Boston and due to the airport location my whole area was off limits and closely monitored supposedly. It might be different here in Australia though

Yeah, if there are airports all over the place... You can't ignore that. On the upside, a small device like the Mavic Air isn't a big investment and travels extremely well, to places away from the airports.

BTW, some distance from an airport (a mile or so) you can safely fly, albeit with a height restriction of about 150 feet. Still makes for great footage. It can be a creative challenge, but utilizing "pockets of permission" is also great fun. Many French cities are like that. No flying over the entire city, except in one particular park.

When I was talking about "ignoring" I meant BS regs like here in Germany, where the flight over any powerline or navigable rivers (ship traffic or not) is forbidden. Screw that!

Yea, we have the same thing in the U.S. You technically can’t fly over a crowd but what constitutes a crowd

Posted using Partiko iOS

Same here. A crowd is any number of people filling a space I want to fly over so densly, they hardly have any room to move out of each other's way. Could be 20 or 30 people in a passageway, or 20,000 in a stadium.

I use common sense and ask myself what might happen if my drone fails and falls out the sky. So the stadium shot might be good enough from the parking lot. Why risk the stands?
