Last week I was able to capture some shots of Sydney's iconic skyline in Autumn. It was my first time flying around the city and I had spent many hours preparing my flight paths in advance. I had walked the areas on a previous recent trip and studied GoogleMaps, GoogleEarth and OpenSky to work out safe flights and possible angles. I got to my take off point at 6am at Fleet Steps near the Botanical Gardens and opposite the Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge. By 6:12am I was in the air as this is the legal flight time for this time of year (first light). I used the little Nano+ 249g drone in 4K LOG mode to capture these shots over land and did not fly over the water at any time. I took every safety precaution to fly safely and within the CASA rules. That's because the harbour is off limits to drones. I then went to other parks around the city to capture additional shots. It was very early and very few people were around. At the end of the day I went to Darling Harbour and then Barangaroo to capture the sunset shots. I hope you like this video of beautiful Sydney and thanks for watching, Brett - Gizmo Drones Epic Music: Lockdown by Sascha Ends https://filmmusic.io/song/7658-lockdown Purchased license Filmed with an Autel Nano+ 249g micro drone in 4K 30fps 8bit H.265 LOG colour in auto camera mode.
