SUNRISE FLIGHT at the i360 Viewing Tower in BRIGHTON

See what's it like to go on the brand new, unique experience of a sunrise flight on the British Airways i360 viewing tower in Brighton. My main goal was to create a timelapse of the sunrise from the i360 moving platform, but also I decided to include some drone footage that I shot a couple of years ago ( intro on DJI Mavic 2 Pro ) and from the day with a DJI Mini 2. Timelapse 1 on Z7 II with 14-30/4 at 14mm, timelapse 2 on Z6 and Laowa 12mm.

Many thanks for taking the time to take us with you - loved the drone shots

[@LondonViewpoints]

Thanks a lot☺️ had these old clips I shot in 2019 I could finally use (intro) and made these new ones now with a Mini 2 (that you can fly legally) which aren’t as good quality but being the best drone you can fly legally, it’ll have to do 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@bowwave59]

Great , love all shots 👍

[@LondonViewpoints]

Thanks Paul 😀

[@pc.1980]

Brilliant vlog Michael, the drone footage came out so well. I’m now considering getting one 😀
Not a bad pilot even without coffee 😂

[@LondonViewpoints]

Thanks a lot Priyesh, glad you liked the vlog, it was a bit hectic on the pod but made the most of it, and yeah the drone clips is usually what makes the most epic clips, love drones, just wish the Mini 2 had slightly better quality like the Mavic 2 Pro

[@DarrenM]

Love the drone shots. Looks like a great time to go up.

[@LondonViewpoints]

Thanks Darren ☺️ finally got a video where I could use my old M2Pro shots from 2019 and comparing them to the Mini 2 shots I got on the day , the difference is huuuuge🤷🏼‍♂️but at least you can fly the Mini 2 legally and without all the permissions hassle and that’s the reason I sold my M2Pro sadly 😭

Love this!! 😁👌

[@LondonViewpoints]

Glad you enjoyed the video Dom 👍🏻

[@meletispix]

That looked fun! You look way to fresh for waking up so early 😆💪🏼

[@LondonViewpoints]

Thanks Andreas, it was quite fun indeed, and believe it or not I ended up getting my first coffee of the day only when I got back home 🤦🏼‍♂️no idea how I had the energy to do it coffeeless, must’ve been really hyped to fly the drone legally again 😄

[@meletispix]

@@LondonViewpoints really great drone shots dude 😎👌🏼

[@LondonViewpoints]

@@meletispix glad you liked them, took ages to properly stabilise in AE , and I’m missing the quality of M2Pro already 😭

Great video mate

[@LondonViewpoints]

Thanks a lot Jörg☺️

[@tyronedsouza]

What's the lens sleeve around your lens at 6:07 called? Awesome work!

[@LondonViewpoints]

Thanks, it’s called a Lenskirt 👍🏻

[@AntonCaines]

Hey Michael, are you normally allowed to use a tripod onboard the i360?

[@LondonViewpoints]

Hey, that I don’t know🤷🏼‍♂️this was a special invite so rules might’ve been different, but as long as you’re quick shoot move shoot and with a too big tripod, I recon you might get away with it but don’t take my word for it, best check with the tower 👍🏻

[@gaganattri2002]
