BASE and Cliff Jumping Drone Videos

Prepare to be blown away by this drone video of some VERY brave BASE jumpers at a famous spot in Norway by former Drone Video Award Finalist Brent De Bleser.  The video was filmed at the Heliboogie 2023 jumping event at Kjerag mountain in Rogalund County, one of the main counties of the Western Norway region.  Kjerag towers over 3.6k ft. (1.1k m) above the Lysefjord, with a cliff on the northern side of the mountain (where the video was filmed) dropping 3.2k ft. (984 m) nearly straight down to the fjord.  

AirVuz contributor and first person view (FPV) pilot VerJan FPV clearly knows how to rock a GoPro...so much so that last year, he was one of the winners of the GoPro Hero 7 Black Million Dollar Challenge!  In this video, he went after it again with the next=generation GoPro Hero 8 Black strapped to his racing drone, and he chased after the some adrenaline junkies and their B.A.S.E. jumping antics in the canyons of Utah.  For this incredible piece, we reserved a spot for him on our FPV Pilots to Watch list in February, 2020.

Looking for a front row seat to a heart-stopping feat?  Watch this wild FPV video of Base Jumping in the heart of Moscow from a highrise project still under construction.  FPV pilot craig_dt was up to the challenge and provided a crispy clear vantage point of the whole dive. We gasped a bit while we took it in too, and it made the case for an appointment to our weekly FPV Pilots to Watch list here on AirVuz.  Kudos, craig_dt!  To see more of his FPV goodness, be sure to check out his whole AirVuz profile.

With uncountable rocky cliffs amongst its 7k+ islands, the Philippines is cliff jumping heaven.  If BASE jumping is too intense for you, this drone video of cliff jumping in the Philippines by AirVuz contributor and pilot Michaelocana might be more your speed (or, at the least, it might be just slightly less terrifying!).  Here he uses a drone to film jumpers dropping off a 50 ft. cliff on the small island of Malapascua, just north of Cebu Island in the central part of the archipelago.

Contributor and pilot DroneCult created this epic drone video of some VERY brave individuals BASE jumping from the KL Tower, the communications tower in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.  The tower stands 335 meters (1.1k ft) at the roof level, and with its antennae it's just a bit shorter than the Petronas Towers.  The tower made a cameo appearance in the opening scene of the 2015 blockbuster Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation (2015), the fifth installment of the Mission: Impossible series.

Kjerag Mountain in southwestern Norway offers one of the best BASE jumping spots anywhere on earth - from the mountain top it's a nearly 1k meter (3.2k ft) vertical drop to the Lysefjord fjord below.  Pilot Viking filmed an epic BASE jumping session from this hallowed spot (called Preikestolen or "Pulpit Rock"), using a drone to capture some VERY brave BASE jumpers plying their craft.  If that isn't enough, it's got some professional pyrotechnics thrown in to make things even more interesting! 

Top AirVuz contributor and first person view (FPV) drone FPV pilot VerJan FPV never rejects an opportunity for a unique flight experience as seen in this freestyle chase around B.A.S.E. jumpers!  As these thrill-seekers careen off a steep cliff, VerJan FPV makes sure to capture the action from all possible angles.  The first diver free falls downwards upon his quad and releases his parachute slingshotting himself back up and away.  See both diver and quad flip and roll through the air in this awesome drone video from the cliffs of Utah.

Leave it to the PilotViking to capture some of the most intense aerial footage above the cliffs of Western Norway.  The aerial footage he captured at the Kjerag mountain range contains chilling views of BASE jumpers and slack-liners dropping down to the Lysefjord below.  Watch as these fearless adventurers take the leaps of a lifetime in this drone video.  This video was voted as the winner of the Sports category by vote of the AirVuz contributor community for the first Annual Drone Video Awards.

The area around Moab in eastern Utah is home to some of the USA's most impressive canyons and rock formations.  It's a dream for extreme sports enthusiasts like B.A.S.E. jumpers as well as for first person view (FPV) racing drone pilots.   In this video, top AirVuz contributor and FPV pilot shows us what a member of the latter group can do filming members of the former.  Using his racing quad to aerially film some very brave B.A.S.E. jumpers in legendary Moab, he earned himself a spot on the FPV Pilots to Watch list in October, 2019.
