Crown of the Earth "- the so-called 14th planet mountains, whose peaks rise over 8000 meters above sea level. Climb to the top of the main all 14 eight-thousanders is the highest achievement in the global high-altitude mountaineering. To date, according to Wikipedia, "Crown of the Earth" have only 32 people in the world (30 "kings" and 2 "queen"). Show you the highest point of the planet, we decided not to chance. Who test in the wording of the camera is Sony RX100 M4, which today, in our opinion - the best not only for climbing to the highest point of the planet due to its functionality (the weight - of less than 300 grams, a built-in viewfinder, shooting 4K, slow motion, etc. .d.), but also a great companion for your winter trips to the mountains. Just imagine, what images can be done with it, rolling and jumping on skiing and snowboarding!
Comment on the new product, we asked one of the friends of our magazine - the photographer, the operator of high-rise, double-climbers on the highest point on the planet, climber Maxim Shakirov.
- Both times, to climb Mount Everest, I was doing both video and photography. At such altitudes counts per gram and carry two cameras - heavy and not very convenient. Twice on Earth I shot the top of the main "video" cameras Sony (HDR-HC1E and CX 700E). In the spring of 2016 I was again going to Everest, to try to make the ascent to the top of the shooting in 4K format. I look forward to this "strong baby" test results, it is possible with it, I find myself for the third time at around 8848 meters above sea level, - said Maxim.
