2021 Drone Videos of the Week: Episode 37

The desert kingdom of Dubai does everything big - among other superlatives, it's home to the world's tallest skyscraper, fastest rollercoaster, and the largest indoor theme park.  In 2021, it secured yet another honor by becoming home to the world's tallest observation wheel: the 820 ft. (250 m) Ain Dubai, which is situated on the artificial Bluewaters Island in the Marina District.  In this amazing video, you'll see the behemoth from the perspective of a first-person view (FPV) racing drone, compliments of FPV pilot 43lensfpv.  

AirVuz contributor haussmannvisuals is one of the top content creators in the AirVuz community, with numerous Drone Video of the Week/Month wins to his name.  Like many aerial videographers, he has begun to move into the world of cinematic first person view (FPV) flight.  In this very impressive video, he shows us the highlights of footage he's captured since adding FPV flight to his repertoire.  The video includes footage shot in the great outdoors of Iceland, Germany and Switzerland, as well as some indoor "cinewhoop" shots.  

Former Drone Video of the Week Winner Hayden Kast combined footage from a first person view (FPV) drone, a DJI Air 2 drone, and a ground camera to create this fantastic piece from the San Juan Mountains in Colorado.  The video was filmed during the course of a seven day hike into this remote alpine region, which covers parts of southwestern Colorado and northwestern New Mexico.   Part of the Rocky Mountains system, the San Juan's are home to some of the highest altitude towns in the USA.  

Multiple Drone Video of the Week Winner oculusfilms brings us this haunting drone video from the scene of one of history's greatest industrial accidents: the explosion of the No. 4 Reactor at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in northern Ukraine in April, 1986.  The disaster forced the evacuation of the nearby city of Pripyat, none of whose 50k+ population ever returned.  One of only two accidents with the highest severity rating under the International Nuclear Event Scale, the disaster caused thousands of cancer deaths.

Top AirVuz content creator druno secured a Drone Video of the Week Finalist spot for this epic FPV video of Italy's great Milan Cathedral.  Dedicated to the Nativity of Mary, construction of the great edifice began in 1386 but wasn't completed until the 1960's - nearly six centuries later.  With a length of 520 ft. (159 m) and a width of just over 300 ft. (about 90 m), it's the largest church in Italy and the second-largest in Europe: only Vatican City's Basilica of St. Peter and Brazil's Basilica of Our Lady of Aparecida are larger.
