Drone photography over massive waterfalls and mist damage
6 Answers from travellers
Yes the base of Diyaluma is a hurricane of mist If the wind blows toward you your drone motors will suck in moisture and short circuit The best strategy is to launch from the upper pools instead where the water is calm and there is zero mist You can fly out over the edge to get the scale shot safely
I will definitely hike to the upper pools first to launch Thanks
The sheer height of it 220m means you will lose line of sight quickly if you fly from the bottom Be careful
Keep an eye on the wind drafts near the cliff edge They can overpower a small drone
Bring a polarizing filter to cut the glare off the water
Also watch out for eagles They nest in the high trees around the falls and will attack drones
