Drone Videos of Sydney

Sydney is Australia's largest city and the capital of New South Wales, its largest state.  Host of the 2000 Olympic Games, Sydney is widely considered to be among the world's most beautiful cities; partly for that reason, it's also among the most expensive.  Contributor and pilot Potent Sky used a DJI Mavic Pro drone to fly over this amazing metropolis.  Highlights of this aerial tour include the Botanical Gardens, Observatory Hill, Barangaroo, South Head, Vaucluse, Watsons Bay, and more.

Award winning AirVuz contributor and pilot Youmi Trip travels the globe with his drone to make incredible videos of the places and people he visits.  In this amazing drone video, he takes us on an aerial tour of one of his favorite cities: Sydney, Australia, the country's largest city and capital of the state of New South Wales.  From Bondi Beach to the city's famous Opera House on the Harbor, he captured all the best landmarks of Sydney that define this fantastic city in the state of New South Wales.

Like Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, Australia's Sydney is known for being home to some of the world's best beaches. The most famous of these is Bondi Beach, which sits to the southeast of the city center.  Contributor Potent Sky took his DJI Mavic Pro out to Bondi Beach to capture some remarkable 4K aerial footage of the area.  Highlights include bird's eye views of the Bronte coastal walk, Bronte Beach, Tamarama Beach, and Bondi Icebergs.  It's one of the draws that has made Sydney one of the world's top destinations.

Sydney's Bondi Beach is widely considered to be one of the finest not only in Australia but in the world.  Known for surfing and all other manner of aquatic recreation, it is one of the top tourist destinations in New South Wales, and for Australia as a whole.  Contributor and pilot Paul Vlad created this awesome video which not only demonstrates the stunning beauty of this beach which lies just a few km/mi east of central Sydney but also shows the power of the DJI Mavic Pro drone to create epic aerial footage.  

Contributor EdDrone used a DJI Mavic Air to treat us to this epic aerial view of Sydney Harbor.  Australia's largest city and capital of the New South Wales state, Sydney is blessed with one of the world's finest natural harbors, comparable to Hong Kong's.  Watch the video to get a sense of how closely the city's most recognized landmarks - the downtown, the famous Opera House, and the equally famous Harbor Bridge - are tied to its great harbor, the second busiest in Australia after Melbourne.

AirVuz contributors and pilots Flip Flop Squad put together this epic drone montage from their stay in the great Australian city Sydney.  It's hard to beat this for an aerial introduction to this magnificent city.  The video hits all the high points of Greater Sydney - Bondi Beach, the Harbor, the Opera House, the great Harbor Bridge - with epic drone shots creatively edited, including some amazing time lapse shots of ships plying the great harbor which is considered one of the world's finest.

Enjoy this aerial tour of the great city of Sydney, Australia, compliments of AirVuz contributor YulianS. The video captures the beauty of this metropolis in that Australian state of New South Wales, featuring epic views of its famous beaches, its spectacular natural harbor, and its impressive skyscrapers.  Mission Impossible fans will likely recognize several sites from the 1999 installment Mission: Impossible 2.  Sydney was a primary filming location for the movie, the second in the series.  

In this video, contributor EdDrone used a DJI Mavic Air to aerially capture the fun of a sunset cruise in Sydney Harbor, Australia.  The sequence opens and closes with some great shots of what is perhaps the city's most prominent landmark, the Harbor Bridge.  Built in the 1930's, the 1.15k meter (about 3.8k ft.) through-arch bridge was similarly important to Sydney, connecting its downtown to the North Shore.  It is the world's tallest steel arch bridge, and by most accounts the most beautiful.  

Contributor paulusandry created this beautiful drone video of the Sydney Opera House, one of the most well known landmarks in Australia's largest city.  Built on the Sydney Harbor and completed in 1973, it's one of the most recognizable examples of modern architecture in the world.  It was designed by a famous Danish architect, taking nearly two decades from inception to completion.  The Opera House sees over a million visitors a year, and the site has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 

The milky, strawberry sky in this cinematic first person view (FPV) flight by AirVuz contributor and FPV pilot Gareth Hayman seem straight out of a dream. That dream-like state continues in his flying style, which is so buttery smooth and intentional you truly feel like you are one with the quad. Long Reef Headland in Sydney, Australia is where Gareth flew to make this video.  Located in the Northern Beaches area a short distance from central Sydney; it's an area known as one of the most intersting geological places in the area. 

Contributor Tom_Dicko used a DJI Mavic pro drone to create this beautiful aerial video of an area of greater Sydney, Australia.  It's called La Perouse, and it's situated near the opening of Botany Bay, about 15 km (about 10 mi.) south of central Sydney.  Botany Bay is a shallow embayment which is home to Sydney's principal airport as well as (in modern times) its main ship harbor.  Le Parouse is named after a French explorer who ventured here before Australia became part of the British Empire.  

Sydney, Australia is, by almost any definition, amongst the world's most desirable cities (as well as one of its most expensive).  Its appeal has many aspects, but prominent among them is its world-famous beaches.  You can see some of this scenery in this beautiful drone video by contributor BenMack.  We'll let his description speak for itself: "Another morning in Sydney, Australia. Large salmon bait balls, sunrise, sharks, surfing and fishing all in the space of an hour in Sydney's beaches."  

The full-scale eruption of the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic in March of 2020 and the ensuing "social distancing" measures adopted around the world have created sights which would have been unimaginable even a few weeks earlier.  Case in point is this drone video by AirVuz contributor skys_feed, showing Australia's famous Bondi Beach after it was closed by authorities due to beachgoers not maintaining safe distances.  Located just southeast of central Sydney, it's one of the world's most well-known beaches.

Sydney is built on a geographical phenomenon known as a ria, which is essentially a drowned river valley.  This explains the complex network of bays which surround Australia's largest city and afford it its natural harbors, considered some of the finest in the world.  In this drone video by AirVuz contributor iggydrone, you'll get an aerial view of Pyrmont Bay.  It's not actually a distinct bay; rather, it's the name for Darling Bay, which defines the western extent of the central part of the city.

The beaches of Sydney, Australia are divided between those which lie to the north and to the south of the entrance to Sydney Harbor.  While the southern Bondi Beach is probably the city's most famous, the northern beaches are also amongst the world's best-known.  In this drone video by AirVuz contributor and pilot Travel Lifestyle, you'll get an aerial view of Sydney's northern beaches, the most recognized of which is Manley Beach; the beach lies on a peninsula which forms the northern entrance to the harbor.
