2020 Drone Videos of the Week: Episode 39

While it's generally known that Netherlands is one of the world's most colorful countries during the tulip harvest in the Spring, the country offers other colorful attractions at other times during the year.  In this DVOW nominated film by top AirVuz contributor BeemFlights, you'll get an aerial view of fields of purple heather.  Dutch heather fields typically turn their distinctive shade of purple in the late summer.  This video was filmed over a field in the middle section of the country, during the month of August.

Italy's Dolomites are a dream for ambitious first person view (FPV) mountain surfers - relatively accessible, their spectacular jagged peaks are made for cinematic video capture via FPV mini-drones.  That's exactly what contributor Drone My Life did in making this incredible piece.  The video combines footage from a gimbal-stabilized aerial videography platform with some adrenaline-drilled FPV footage.  Featuring some of the best Dolomites mountain surfing shots we've seen, this video made the FPV Pilots to Watch and won DVOW in September, 2020.  

Former Drone Video Award Winner panvelvet brings us this stunning drone video from the city of Vladivostok, Russia.  Vladivostok is the second-largest city in Russia's Far East region (after Khabarovsk) and the largest coastal city.  It is situated on a body of water known as the Golden Horn Bay, which is an inlet of the Sea of Japan.  The video features phenomenal footage of the city's beaches and active windsurfing scene, some of the tiny islands which lie off the mainland, the Zolotoy Bridge, and even a partially-submerged submarine! 

The Dolomites are a small mountain range within the Alps of northern Italy, covering parts of three provinces in the Trentino-Alto-Adigio and Veneto regions. With 18 peaks over 3k meters above sea level (around 10k ft.), they features some of the most beautiful mountains landscapes of any altitude, anywhere in the world. The vertical walls, sheer cliffs, and high density of narrow, and deep valleys, that are scattered throughout the Dolomites, can be seen in this DVOW nominated film by pilot davidxtravel. 

See Iceland in winter from the air in this cinematic and breathtaking video by drone pilot and new AirVūz contributor Joseph Young.  Joseph used his DJI Inspire drone to soar above the famous Skógafoss waterfall, one of the most famous waterfalls in a country which is known for them.  It's located near the southern tip of the island. The video features footage of the landscapes which have made Iceland famous: yawning canyons, gushing waterfalls, and expansive glacier fields.  This video was a DVOW nominee in September 2020.
