Показать описание
We happened to visit Jeju island for 2 days in June. It was our first time in South Korea and it was such an amazing adventure.

The first day, we went to the Jusangjeolli cliff - a spectacular volcanic rock formation at the southern coast of Jeju Island, it took just half an hour to see everything around. I wouldn't say there was something spectacular, but we liked it.
Then, we went to the Seongsan Ilchulbong (Sunrise Peak) - one of the special places that people visit to see the sunrise. This place is marked as one of the famous and must-visit places almost in all resources you can read. However, we visited this place in the afternoon, there were lots of people. We didn't find it too interesting or special. And this amazing look, that usually you can see in pictures taken from the air, looks fantastic only from the air. When we were standing on the summit we didn't feel something breathtaking at all. Later, we moved a bit away from it to the South along the coast and found a really quiet and beautiful place where we could finally enjoy an amazing view of the Seongsan Ilchulbong by flying our drone. I don't remember what the place is called, it's a small peninsula which is just 3-4 km to the South from Seongsan Ilchulbong and there is the Aqua Planet nearby.

The second day, we climbed Hallasan mountain, standing 1950m above sea level as the highest mountain in South Korea, it's a dormant volcano with a lake crater at the summit. It was a whole-day hike through the nature park. The trail was full of beautiful views and we even happened to see deer. My wife insisted that I mention that the deer shot is taken by her. By the way, make sure that you bring plenty of water and snacks as the refill station and snack kiosk might be on reconstruction.

About the gear

This time I decided not to bring a gimbal, tripod, and a bunch of lenses, because I didn't want to carry a heavy backpack.

The video was shot handheld with my mirrorless camera with a zoom lens and a small drone.
