2022 Drone Videos of the Week: Episode 6

Multiple Drone Video of the Week Winner denisbarbas used a DJI Mavic 3 to create this magnificent aerial tour of the Portuguese island of Madeira.  The video opens with some spectacular shots of the Ponta do Rosto lookout on the north side of the long peninsula which extends eastwards from the main body of the island.  Other highlights include some great timelapse shots from the clouds over the interior of the island, the iconic town of São Vicente on Madeira's northern coast, the ancient laurisilva (laurel tree) forest, and more.  

Top AirVuz contributor and first person view (FPV) drone pilot Mauro Sciambi brings us this excellent FPV tour of Olympic Stadium in Rome, Italy.  Initially opened in 1953 after a construction period of several decades (interrupted, in part, due to World War II), the facility was extensively renovated to serve as one of the main venues for the 1960 Summer Olympics (XVII Olympiad) held in August and September of that year.  It was further renovated to serve as the main stadium for the 1990 World Cup.  It currently seats about 70k fans.  

Former Drone Video of the Week Finalist Mattcoq used a DJI Mavic Pro 2 drone to create this excellent nighttime drone video of the great city of Shanghai, China.  Starting at about the 1:00 mark, there's a great shot looking northeast towards the city's Pudong District.  Here's you'll see the city's three tallest buildings: right to left, the 128 story Shanghai Tower (at just over 2.05k ft. or 632 meters, the world's third-tallest building as of early 2022), the Shanghai World Financial Center, and Jin Mao Tower.  

Top AirVuz contributor Jay Christensen has become one of the worldwide go-to content creators when it comes to one-shot first person view (FPV) video shoots.  That's why he was tapped to create this incredible one-shot tour of the venue for the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas in connection with the 2022 National Hockey League All-Star Game.  Home of the Las Vegas Golden Knights NHL team, the arena seats up to 20k.  Opened in 2016, the arena is located on the Las Vegas Strip, adjacent to the MGM Grand.    

Top contributor druno brings us this fantastic first person view (FPV) drone fly-through of a well-known mansion in Central Italy.  It's called the Villa Farnese (not to be confused with the Palazzo Farnese in Rome), and it's a pentagon-shaped manor in Viterbo, one of the provinces of the Lazio region.  Considered one of the finest examples of Renaissance architecture, the mansion was constructed in the 16th century by the powerful Farnese family.  It's now Italian state property and operated by the Museum Center of Lazio.
