Sunset Drone Videos

As the sun set on 2017, AirVuz took a look back at some of the best golden hour and sunset drone videos uploaded to AirVuz.com. Enjoy aerial views of the sun setting in beautiful Florence, the Autumn sun in the Netherlands, the sun glowing over the ocean in Santa Monica, CA and the sun disappearing in nova Scotia.

The quiet hour of sunset gave contributor Gianlo the perfect lighting for this epic drone video taken over Florence, Tuscany's magnificent Renaissance treasure.  In this video, you can take in the aerial views of Santa Maria del Fiore, Ponte Vecchio, and Polazzo Vecchio, and more sights and sounds of Firenze.  This production was a nominee for the 2017 AirVuz Drone Video Awards in the Cities category.

Hanoi is the capital of Vietnam as well as its second largest city after Ho Chi Minh City (formerly known as Saigon).  Hanoi was the largest city of North Vietnam prior to unification with the South after the Vietnam War.  Over the past couple of decades, the city has participated in Vietnam's ongoing economic boom.  Contributor and drone pilot Mitchell Milennial created this epic drone video of Hanoi at sunset.  

Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, is set along the Danube River near the borders with Austria and Hungary. The city, which dates to the 10th century, is surrounded by mountains, crisscrossed with forested hiking and cycling trails.  Contributor Skydronauts used a DJI Mavic Pro drone to create an amazing video of this impressive Central European city, which became the capital of Slovakia when it separated from the Czechoslovakia in the early 1990's.  

Perth is the capital of Western Australia, the vast state which would be a large country on its own.  Roughly 80% of WA's 2.5 million inhabitants live in this city on the Indian Ocean.  The city is extremely remote from other Australian cities, the closest one being Adelaide nearly 2.7k km (1.5k mi) away.  Using a DJI Inspire 2 drone, contributor Intrepid Drone Services created this memorable aerial video of Perth at sunset.  

For cinematic drone footage of birds flying along a beautiful coastline, this video can't be beat.  Skylight used a drone to capture a flock of seagulls on the coast of Portugal in the area of Alcobaca, which lies about midway down Portugal's Atlantic coastline.  The video starts with an aerial shot of some spectacular rocks along the beach at sunset, and then picks up some stunning shots of the seagulls flying up the coast.

Tampa is the largest city on the west coast of Florida.  It sits on Tampa Bay, which opens up into the Gulf of Mexico.  The metropolitan area, the second largest in Florida after Miami, is often called Tampa St. Petersburg in reference to the smaller city which lies on the other side of the bay.  Top contributor Tampa Randy flew a drone over the lovely Southeastern city at dusk to create this amazing aerial video.  

Wrenee, aka the Queen of the Dronie, gives us her trademark pull-out shot from Disko Island off the western coast of Greenland.  Disko is the second largest island of Greenland after the island of Greenland itself, the world's largest.  Disko, which is situated in Baffin Bay, is acually itself one of the world's 100 largest islands.  Disko has a population of about 1,000, making it the second most populated island of Greenland, which is a semi-autonomous region of Denmark.

Francisco Rodriguez created this amazing drone video of the surfing scene at Praia Grande Beach.  It's located in the Sintra province of the Greater Lisbon region, just a bit west-northwest of the capital city.  It's part of the area sometimes known as the Portuguese Riviera, a stretch of Atlantic coastline that includes famed beaches such as Cabo de Roca and Cascais, which are more popular with swimmers (as opposed to surfers) and lie to its south.
