The 11 Most Awesome Drone Videos That Went Viral

Drones have been part of photographers' and filmmakers' arsenals for a couple of years now, and their incredible impact is undeniable. Any person who can afford a decent drone and a GoPro can now take footage that would require a camera and helicopter crew 10-15 years ago.
The fact that they've become so popular and widely used has resulted in some amazing videos that are sometimes shot by pros, but a lot of them are taken by regular people on weekends and holidays.
Nevertheless, while drone footage looks good in general, you still need a good subject to film, just like you do in photography. Here are eleven viral drone videos for your visual pleasure or amusement. Enjoy!

This aerial footage shot by Trey Ratcliff in the Chinese capital ended up with him being detained by the Police.
