drone shot

UAV camera angle

A drone shot is footage captured by a camera mounted on an unmanned aerial vehicle, typically showing sweeping aerial views or dramatic overhead perspectives.

Once available only through expensive helicopter rentals, drone shots have become standard in filmmaking, real estate listings, and social media content: The documentary opened with a drone shot of the coastline.
