An 8-year-old girl from Indiana has earned a Guinness World Record as the world’s youngest drone videographer. Louisa Royer, a third-grader at Evansville Day School, won the 2023 Best New Drone Pilot Award at the AZDroneFest International Film Festival and has since become the youngest female drone videographer in the world.
Louisa’s love for science and exploration led her to ask for a drone as a gift. Despite the challenges of safely flying the drone in different countries and being aware of her surroundings to avoid obstacles, she persevered and continued to film with her drone during trips abroad. Watching videos on YouTube inspired her to pursue a Guinness World Record title after seeing a 13-year-old boy using drones for mapping.
At the age of 8 years and 258 days, Louisa became the youngest female drone videographer in the world, officially recognized by Guinness World Records. She expressed her excitement and gratitude upon receiving her certificate, sharing that her friends and family are very proud of her. Louisa’s journey showcases her passion for exploring new ways of capturing the world around her through drone videography.
