Then we took the ski lift together and rode together. The boy was Candide and we hit it off straight away. The following year I joined his club in La Clusaz. I was 10 or 11.

That\u2019s when we fitted a mount with a stabiliser. It wasn\u2019t that easy! We had to get used to the frame because the<br \/>\nscreen is tiny. You have to check sometimes to make sure it\u2019s framed right. Otherwise, you get used to adjusting yourself and the equipment.<\/p>\n<p>Basically, I\u2019m like a human drone (laughs). The drone and follow-cam actually work together, there\u2019s no sense of competition. The drone works better in some places, the follow-cam in others. Sometimes you can\u2019t track someone properly with a drone so the follow-cam provides another point of view. I personally don\u2019t think you can film something just using a drone. Technically you have to film around the person over long distances.
