ALTE VEDUTE - Extreme Crew     
Alte Vedute is a very young company born in 2014, whose bosses (Mr. Daniele Peti and Mrs. Daniela Spadoni) mainly operate in the field of aerial shooting using drones, but they have a more than ten-year experience in video and camera shooting from the ground.
Alte Vedute began 5 years ago to use drones for aerial shots and videos, when nobody knew about them. At the beginning the drone was personally built by Daniele and the electronics was much less sophisticated than the current one; as per today they have achieved an unimaginable quality level, despite the first initial difficulties.
The two video makers make video-photographic services mainly for touristic promotion purposes, both at private and institutional level. Anyway they work also in other fields, such as the estate and marine industries, they supply video and photographic stuff for events and exhibitions and they support the realization of topographic and architectural surveys.
During the last year, Alte Vedute has been collaborating with the Azalai Tour Operator for the realization of trip documentaries in places different from traditional routes. The aerial shots, thanks to the use of drones and other innovative equipment, allows the creation of amazing and original documentaries.
Daniele and Daniela, after taking pictures of the uncontaminated places of Namibia and Senegal, will be in Senegal in November, for a new and fascinating documentary.
Thanks to the energy of the Tregoo Solar Power Station 40-120 they will be able to recharge the batteries of their equipment and especially of their drones, during their staying in Africa.

ROBERT HEWETSON - Extreme Crew     
​Engineer and passionate about adventurous trips on board of his kayak, Robert Hewetson is one of the bravest athletes the sea has ever seen. In 2012 he covered 1650 km by kayak from Durban to Capetown, solo and without support.
Robert is going to undertake a more audacious expedition: 4700km from the coastline of Mozambique up to Angola. He will be the first human to plough through the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, a trip that will last 6 months.
The route is likely to be full of obstacles and dangers, such as strong winds, big surf, deserted beaches and areas populated by wildlife. Great endeavours request a top quality resistant and reliable equipment. For this reason, Tregoo will provide technical support to power the instruments used by Robert Hewetson (GPS and satphone primarily) thanks to the ThinLight Solar Panels and Gecko 120 Power Pack.

It is the coldest challenge in the world, due to 160 kilometres among the Arctic’s glaciers, from Whitehorse to Braeburn in the Yukon Territory of Canada. First of all, an endeavour to challenge themselves and their resistance, to be performed in independence and extreme conditions by melting the ice to quench their thirst and sleeping among ices, under the stars at -40°C.
Tregoo will give support by providing them with the necessary technical equipment, so they will take advantage of extra energy for their headlamps (since they will always travel in the dark) and their GPS device. They will use a Tregoo Solar Power Station 10-50 and two Lizard 50 Power Packs as backup solutions.
