Bird's eye view: Six beautiful destinations filmed using drones

Original article

The latest innovations on Drones (unmanned flying machines), put this product on the commercial market, and now it’s available for professional filmmakers and “indie” filmmakers. In the past this type of technology was restricted for military purposes. 

The main advantage to have a drone is the price and portability. On EBay you can find a small drone for 500 USD. The smallest version of this device works with GoPro cameras, this kind of cameras are a lot cheaper than professional cinema cameras and you can get stunning footage too. If you compare the final price of a drone with the price of renting a chopper plus a professional camera,  you save a lot of money.

A lot of filmmakers are working with drones, and they get amazing results. Once  the job it's done  they publish their footage on YouTube Or Vimeo.

This is a special selection of six beautiful places captured with drones machines.

The first one comes from Africa. The video shows a safari in the Serengeti. The drone allows shooting plenty of animals in wildlife. 

This shows the rhythm of London City. Also it contains slow motion scenes.
