Testing My New Drone At Highdown Hill In Sussex

I recently bought myself a drone so I can get some nice atmospheric images for my music videos. Here’s a few simple test shots from up at Highdown Hill in Sussex, close to where I live. It’s only my 3rd flight so I’ve got a lot to learn but I can see myself getting some nice footage with it!

Music is my track Vapour Mining from the album Stateless.
