Sam Evans (AKA @samevanssnaps) captured this incredible aerial photograph of Neuschwanstein Castle, with one of the best camera drones, his DJI Mini 4 Pro. The 19th-century fairytale structure sits within the Bavarian Alps in southern Germany. It’s said to be the inspiration for Walt Disney’s Cinderella Castle and with its fairytale facade and spindly turrets, it certainly bears a striking resemblance.
Sam had to climb up the mountain trail opposite the famous castle, so he could launch his drone. He tells me he considers first: “the safety and logistics of putting a drone in the air. Are there crowds, overhanging trees, wildlife, etc to think about? However, once it’s up and everything is accounted for it’s just another camera.”
