Dronies in New Zealand

A new era in ‘selfies’ is set to debut on New Zealand’s ski slopes.

Tourism New Zealand has invested in flying drones which will be used to create personal videos from above.

The DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ drone travelling around New Zealand’s South Island carries an extremely high quality camera and a removable 4GB micro SD card giving crystal clear video and the option for slow motion shots

Tourism New Zealand’s drone begins recording a close up portrait then quickly pans out to show New Zealand’s breathtaking scenery, creating a short film about eight seconds long.  The resulting video can then be shared with friends on all social channels via #NZdronie.

The NZdronie will be visiting the ski areas of Coronet Peak, Cardrona, Mount Hutt and Mount Cook over the next two months.

Tourism New Zealand is encouraging people to share their dronies using the hashtag #NZdronie with daily prizes up for grabs.
