Best drone video of your city

I was watching this 2 days ago. One of Austin TX.

It really does the city justice, this one. Really like the angle at the 4:50 mark.

This is a criminally underrated compilation. From these folks called Joe and Nic. Long story short, they traveled to all of these cities and took the drone footage. Needs more than 12k views for the amount of long term effort. Thirty minutes but worth it when one has free time. Also good to have looping on a big screen in the living room. Gives a good perspective on some US cities typically not in the spot light.

Quick snippet:

These are not licensed videos clips - I visited all these cities in the United States and shot the drone footage myself. I've driven nearly 31,000 miles and visited 35 states over the last 7 months, and will be visiting the last 15 states over the next 3 months. One thing is for sure - this country is remarkably beautiful...everywhere, every state.

Amazing drone footage of my dream city to live in, Tokyo.

Definitely not the typical drone-over-city video. From 7 years ago so the skyline is dated.

Here's one I did of Metrotown in Burnaby (a city that borders Vancouver) the other day.

A panorama taken above Buffalo's West Side. It's a beautiful view of Buffalo outside of downtown that people unfamiliar with the city may never expect.

Was on a landing video binge yesterday. Wanted to share. One of LA and one of NYC;

For LA: Recommend starting at 5:30 minute mark onward. I find it useful as it gives an idea of the scale, the sheer scale of the LA area. America's less dense Tokyo. 4k full screen as usual.


• Video Link


For NYC:

With this one, full screen, 4k (looks better on OLED TV if possible). Recommend the whole video length as there is a good buildup in suspense.

congress seems poised to effectively ban DJI in the US, so that will be an interesting development for drone footage

Not a drone but cool tour of NYC from the air. Better than a drone!
