2021 Drone Videos of the Week: Episode 20

Award-winning content creator and pilot Postandfly used a DJI Mini 2 drone to create this fantastic drone video of the Tamul waterfall in central Mexico.  The great falls are situated near Ciudad Valles in the state of San Luis Potosí, roughly midway between Mexico City and Monterrey.  It's an extremely wide plunge-type waterfall formed by the convergence of the  Gallinas and Santa Maria Rivers into the Tampaon River.  The falls has a drop of just over 100 meters (340 ft.) and is known for its brilliant torquoise waters.

Take in the sights and sounds of Germany with this excellent video by former Drone Video of the Week Winner oculusfilms.  Some of the featured locations include the neo-Gothic masterpiece Hohenzollern Castle in Baden-Württemberg (first seen at the :05 mark), the Marienplatz square in Munich (:18), the Fernsehturm Berlin observation tower (:42), Munich's Frauenkirche (:56), Bavaria's famous Neuschwanstein Castle (1:00), Wartburg Castle in Thuringia (1:45), Berlin's Brandenburg Gate (1:49), the Berlin Cathedral (2:35), and more.  

Fly along with talented AirVuz contributor Jackson Groves on a trek to one of the world's highest mountains.  His journey took him about 110 mi. (around 180 km) to Nepal's Manaslu, part of the great Himalaya chain.  The mountain has a summit elevation of almost 26.8k ft. above sea level (just under 8.2k meters), making it the world's eighth-highest mountain.  The mountain is located in Nepal's Gorkha District, a bit to the east of the somewhat better-known (although no taller) Annapurna Massif.  

For a first upload to AirVuz, brand-new contributor Canarias Dron brings us this fantastic drone video of the island of Gran Canaria.  Gran Canaria is the largest (by area) of the Canary Islands, a Spanish archipelago off the coast of North Africa.  Located in the middle of the chain, Gran Canaria is volcanic in origin and an infant in geological terms - most of the island was formed during the Miocene period, between 9-14 million years ago.  Much of the footage of the video is from the island's rocky interior.

Top AirVuz contributor Julien57120 brings us this fantastic drone video of the Caribbean islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique.  The two islands, both of which are French territories, are part of the Lesser Antilles, a chain of islands which forms the eastern end of the Caribbean.  They are situated roughly in the middle of the chain, on either side of the island of Dominica (which was also once a French colony but since has become independent).  This video was picked as a Finalist for the Drone Video of the Week contest in May of 2021.
