2023 Drone Videos of the Week: Episode 31

Top AirVuz creator and commercial drone pilot Clark Lupton brings us this spectacular reel - a nominee for 2023 FPV Drone Video of the Year - featuring highlights from his (largely FPV)) drone filming over the past year. Projects featured include the Electronic Daisy Carnival EDM festivals in Orlando, Florida and Las Vegas, Nevada; the Moonrise EDM festival in Baltimore, Florida; and the Las Vegas Grand Prix, part of the 2023 Formula One championship.  Other highlights include shots from the Azores islands, boat chasing sequences, and more.  

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.  

Former DVOW Finalist ristypics spent six days in Denmark's Faroe Islands with a DJI Mavic 3 and created this beautiful video record of the trip.  At the :24 mark, there's an incredible shot of the Kallur Lighthouse on the island of Kalsoy (seen again at 1:27), followed by the village of Tjørnuvík on the island of Streymoy.  Other featured locations include the Mulafossur waterfall, on Vágar (1:37); the Risin and Kellingin sea stacks, just off the coast of the island of Esturoy (1:49); and the village of Gásadalur, also on Vágar (1:45).   

Multiple DVOW Winner Makhorov brings us this magnificent aerial video of polar bears frolicking in icy cold waters just a few hundred mi./km from the North Pole, which was a Finalist for the 2023 Drone Video of the Year.  The video was filmed in the course of a trip on a nuclear-powered icebreaker to the Franz Josef Land Archipelago, a group of Russian islands which straddle the 81st north parallel, almost two-thirds of the way between the Arctic Circle and the North Pole; they include the northernmost point of the Eastern Hemisphere.    

For a first upload to AirVuz, brand-new contributor Aldo Colaianni brings us this stunning drone video from the Dolomite Mountains in northeastern Italy.  The video opens with a shot of the Tre Cime di Lavaredo (Drei Zinnen) massif which lies on the border between the provinces of South Tyrol (part of the Trentino-Alto-Adigio region) and Belluno (part of the neighboring region of Veneto).  Filmed with a DJI Mini 3 Pro, the video will also take you over other famous spots in the Dolomites such the pristine Lake Braes (Pragser Wildsee).
