Stunning Mark..simply stunning! I was born and grew up here and I agree with another's comments... you managed to make the town look nice. I too loved the acknowledgement to the people on the tower, a lovely touch. Well done to you and good luck with future projects Xx
I love the bit when Mark uses the quadcopter to 'wave' back at the people in the tower. I think a lot of people missed that bit and assumed it was turbulence :)
Fantastic footage! And excellent piloting too. It's amazing how drones have opened up the possibilities of photography and exploration so suddenly and so radically. It's staggering, and quite scary really. One could only have dreamt of flying freely around landmarks like this just a few years ago. (I like the part when you waved at people.)
Great video, great songs. Really drags people's ideas of Blackpool into the year 2015. Well done that man, you've no ideas how many times I have watched this and posted it to my facebook. I love it!!
Mark seems to be flying with a lot of forthought going into his flights,It's obvious to me anyhow that he has been doing this for quite q while as his flights are executed flawlessly and dosen;t do anything stupid showing that the best chance we have to keep the governments from killing our passtime is to self police ourselves and just Think about our flying and the affect it has on others.Don't put your camera in someones face if it's not realy known if they will object to having it there OK Guys!.Marks OK he thinks then flys...... Fly safe Fly Heaps Fly Hard jcinAuz
It was scary seeing that fly near the moving roller coaster. If one those falls out of the sky and hits someone in the head. I can see the the government bringing in legislation.. Great pictures though.
I watched this video when it first came out in 2013, and many times since. It's the best drone video with great music that began my interest and shortly after that, I built my first drone. Technology has moved on considerably in the last 3 years but this is still my favourite video. Thanks so much for getting me started.
How are you not scared flying this thing over water and people? I'm scared shitless when I go over water with my quad because it's such a big investment.
Everything about that video was brilliant. You made Blackpool look amazing (which it is, I know from past experiences) and I think your choice of music was spotty dog. Blackpool tourist board owe you big time.
Amazing footage. You flew that thing with great skill, and I love the little touches such as a wobble in greeting to a group of people on the tower. Now I know why seagulls always seem to be smiling:-)
Can't deny it is an amazing footage but I believe it is also irresponsible to fly over crowded places and amusement parks as shown here. Hope we never see shit like GPS/FPV gear glitches that cause a crash where people gets hurt (or almost). This hobby is already a risk by itself so let's try not to make it more dangerous. Go to mountains, empty beaches, forrests, cliffs... like others and enjoy!
@Curt Shaw I think RUclips is too draconian with is soundtrack copyright rules. Ok fair enough if you deliberately put a sound track on your video that is copyright. But I've heard of videos being deleted simply because someone had a random radio program playing in the background that had some music on while the video was being made. I mean its hardly like the radio music was meant to be part of the sound track! Same thing has happened in cars when people film a ride. If the car radio is on and a song is played your video will be deleted. Its a bit harsh I think. In any case no one wants to listen to stony silence during a video its a sure way of getting TDs.
I think putting music on video,s only encourages people to buy the track they would otherwise never hear.as people always ask oooooo what's this song your playing.
Very nice footage, nice flying skills and sweet editing. But some of the flights I can NOT approve of, especially in and around the amusementpark. Dropping the quad on a person due to faulty LiPo or whatever is bad enough, dropping it on a roller-coaster and endanger the whole train I can not approve of. I seriously enjoy the scenery thou :)
Agreed, fantastic footage, makes me want to go out a FPV right now. However if something goes wrong (a malfunction?) with the copter at high altitude over a populated area somebody could get hurt.
Gustavo Mendes Noone and everyone. If enough people share an opinion it will be considered the public opinion, feel free to study the basics of democracy and freedom of speech. When this kind of flying causes a serious accident the negative press will force laws and legislations we do not want. Thus I and others with me are encouraging the community to frown upon dangerous flying in order to have continued freedom under responsibility for everyon who want to enjoy this hobby.
para los que nos gusta la electrónica,este equipo es una maravilla!! tiene una muy buena cámara y mucha estabilidad,el alcance del equipo esta por encima de muchos que he visto,un saludo te felicito por este vídeo!!
most excellent, love the way the guy on the tower knew straight away that you had waved; shame he didn't get that you "nodded" ! as well... I would have! Brilliant.
One of the best vids i've seen on here in a long time. I'm loving these quadcopter ariel view vids but this is one of the best. And blackpool looks superb.
Outstanding...!!! i have a Phantom for a month and ready to let go my training wheels to get into it deeper because of inspirational videos like yours... thanks for sharing...
Love this video (and music)! Have seen it many times, very upbeat. Blackpool seems like a fun place to visit. Seems like a permanent county-fair. Would love to visit the tower and see the circus.
I'm a 71 year old engineer, living in the U.S., who's been flying quadcopters for a little more than a year. To learn more and for enjoyment, I frequently look for quadcopter videos on RUclips. This one is fantastic; much above almost any other quadcopter video I've ever seen on RUclips. As an engineer, this fires up my curiosity. Would appreciate having these three questions answered. What's the quadcopter model? What the video camera model? I would guess that the quadcopter transmits the video to the transmitter, which makes it possible for the quadcopter to fly quite some distance away from where the pilot is located. Is it correct that the video camera transmits the video to the transmitter where it can be recorded? Over the last 30 years, I've visited Great Britain about a dozen times, England, Scotland and Wales and quite a variety of activities including air shows and steam shows. Since I also enjoy amusement parks, I've wanted to visit Blackpool, but I've not made it there yet. This video does a great job of promoting Blackpool and certainly has made me even more convinced that I should visit Blackpool the next time I go to Great Britain.
Got to be the best clip on youtube! Gawd I hope the CAA leave you alone, that was one top clip and more to come by the sounds of it! Also what amazing skill you have with the flying.
I love Blackpool so so so sooooooooooooooooooooo much!!!!! I went there for a surprise holiday, not that long ago my mum and dad woke !e up at 5:45 in the morning 🙌💙💙💜🙌 I was so exited! If you haven't been there I definitely recommend it, its OSM!! Blackpool is great for long walks up and down the promenade 💙💙💙💙💙 I cried on the day of leaving, the journey from Essex Is 250 miles and about 5 hours, luv it 💛💛💛💛
blackpoolbarmpot hmmm. Well i've been there and it was full of chavs on scooters looking for a fight ( they got one). and shite music pumping out the arcades.. Never Again..
Haha, I love how you communicated with the people on the tower.
Wow thats amazing, you have made Blackpool look a nice place to visit.
😆😆😆
Still not a nice place . Lol
I like the part where you 'wave' back at the people up the tower
Stunning Mark..simply stunning! I was born and grew up here and I agree with another's comments... you managed to make the town look nice. I too loved the acknowledgement to the people on the tower, a lovely touch. Well done to you and good luck with future projects Xx

Brilliant, especially them waving to you up Blackpool tower.
Fantastic footage! And excellent piloting too. It's amazing how drones have opened up the possibilities of photography and exploration so suddenly and so radically. It's staggering, and quite scary really. One could only have dreamt of flying freely around landmarks like this just a few years ago. (I like the part when you waved at people.)
Just simply outstanding! I loved it when the guy on the tower waved and the quad waved back and he got all excited lol.
Great video, I've been to Blackpool loads of times. Great to see the sights from a different perspective other than the tower!
A brilliant piece of video footage from some one who really knows how to fly his machine. very entertaining!
Fantastic filming & and joy to watch.
Great video, great songs. Really drags people's ideas of Blackpool into the year 2015. Well done that man, you've no ideas how many times I have watched this and posted it to my facebook. I love it!!
i love to see someone not giving a fuck about the 50m rule for buildings and people.
Paul Preddy gonna be a pretty tough thing to police though.

***** holy mhoely, yep if you do do it, probably best not to identify yourself on youtube ey.
sn0wchyld ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Absolutely amazing Mark, can't stop watching it and loving the tunes too
F.P.V. porn in the first degree..... outstanding control Mark, I salute you bro.
Thank you for the entertainment. :)
I watched this video when it first came out in 2013, and many times since. It's the best drone video with great music that began my interest and shortly after that, I built my first drone. Technology has moved on considerably in the last 3 years but this is still my favourite video.
Thanks so much for getting me started.
Love a story of inspiration! Hope you're still doing it :D
Im a repeat watcher of this video. One of my faves. The music combined with those ppl waving...haha jus a good vibe goin on in this vid.
Its funny that they call this the "Golden" mile - I've been to blackpool and its a real shithole.
thats funny
Tom Reed lol! yeah its a shithole..... but its a fun shithole!!!
That's your opinion
Tom Reed lol so true but i still love black pool
Well I don't quite think that it's fair for you to judge Blackpool with such disrespect...
Absolutely excellent impeccable photography. Mesmeric!
Gonna use an Oculus Rift to try this in first person
I haven't been for about 16 yrs, it's change a lot and looks a lot nicer... Good quality filming hats of to you..
How are you not scared flying this thing over water and people? I'm scared shitless when I go over water with my quad because it's such a big investment.
and birds!
GamenCow Great, now you've got me scared about birds too ;)
haha!!
same here! pretty scared taking it over water and houses!
I hate taking mine over people because I remember as a kid, my dad had a drone and some asshole threw a rock at it and broke it
Everything about that video was brilliant. You made Blackpool look amazing (which it is, I know from past experiences) and I think your choice of music was spotty dog. Blackpool tourist board owe you big time.

It's bloody awesome, but please please please please put the missing apostrophe into the title.
No, it doesn't go on 'flies'
that was the best quad video ive ever seen! a lot of skill in flying fpv and a lot of money in it i imagine, loved it!
Can't deny it is an amazing footage but I believe it is also irresponsible to fly over crowded places and amusement parks as shown here.

Sweet Sweet Sweet!!!. Love this, great video and music keep on making these quality videos.

I had a holiday video deleted because I filmed my kids dancing on the stage to music I didn't own. I mean, REALLY???
StevesProjects There should be some legal clause preventing them from doing that, clearly common sense hasn't prevailed.
It's ridiculous. It's not like you're burning it to DVD and selling it to people.
I think putting music on video,s only encourages people to buy the track they would otherwise never hear.as people always ask oooooo what's this song your playing.
I was living in there for over 3 years and I never knew how great this town can look like till I saw this vid. Well done!!!
Very nice footage, nice flying skills and sweet editing. But some of the flights I can NOT approve of, especially in and around the amusementpark. Dropping the quad on a person due to faulty LiPo or whatever is bad enough, dropping it on a roller-coaster and endanger the whole train I can not approve of. I seriously enjoy the scenery thou :)

Énorme bravo pour cette superbe vidéo!!! J adore vos prises de vue. Génial!!!!!!!!
Superb quality footage! .... and a lovely wave to the tourists on the tower! Brill!!
Great photography and fantastic to see the town painted in such a positive light for a change! :-)
Well well Mr Spencer, aren't you a man of many talents.......yet again your videos have kept me up all night, they're very addictive 😉
Lyndsey Williams Thank you for your kind words and I'm glad you liked them 😉

that's excellent work mark, those people in the tower lol, couldn't believe what they were looking at!
p.s good bit of old skool house music;)
Wonderful. I never realised just how flat the area around Blackpool is. Thanks.
That is one of the best FPV videos I have seen so far. I really want to get one.
Great Video Mark.
You have some bottle flying like that
I'm convinced. I'm ordering one tomorrow. Brilliant footage.
Amazing man! You're one of those people who deserve a DJI Inspire 1 Black Edition!
its great that a bit of decent weather and a view from above can transform blackpool into a far nicer place!!;)
Awesome!, Thats how to fly it!... down to a fine art!.. superb Hacienda club classics too!..
Wonderful video, great fun to watch and I too was very taken by the "exchange" of waves with people on that tower! BRAVO SIR!
Nice flying and the photography is brilliant, it is a great watch. Thanks.
One of the best vids i've seen on here in a long time. I'm loving these quadcopter ariel view vids but this is one of the best. And blackpool looks superb.
Awesome flying and camera work.
Outstanding...!!! i have a Phantom for a month and ready to let go my training wheels to get into it deeper because of inspirational videos like yours... thanks for sharing...
Fantastic video very stable, and in HD.
Nice bit of kit.
absolutely loved this, fantastic piloting thanks for uploading
one of my fav multirotor vids on youtube. keep it up mark
Unbelievable footage, shows what can be done these day’s. Great job.
simply, absolutely awesome, specially when you get out of your car!!! congrats.
Great video Mark - we've shared on our Facebook page today so our customers can see an alternative side to Blackpool.
Great work!
Awesome! (Damn it!) now I want one! That part at the top of the tower where the guy waved and you wiggled - fantastic. Bravo! Thanks.
Possibly the best FPV video i have ever seen, good job,
absolutely stunning footage, wow its bowled me over! thanks for sharing!!
Fantastic flying and filming! Thanks for sharing.
Most entertaining video I've seen all day. Well done!
haha, you did all this sitting in your car!! really good. I'm can't be that relaxed while flying my phantom
best view I ever seen of blackpool with that chopper real cool
Great video and nice flying Mark! Thanks for sharing.
Impressive flying skills. I crashed my hex copter again today. I would not dare some of the maneuvers you were displaying. Good work.
made me smile when he tipped his props when they waved :)
An absolutely awesome video, thanks for sharing.
awesome footage and flying!! plus the music gave me one hell of a flashback :)
Still one of my all-time favourite videos mate 😁
Love the bit of the tower and the people on it. They seemed confused.
Terrific video! Really enjoyed it. Wonderful promotional work for this area too!
Absolutely breathtaking footage.
This is BRILL!!!!!!! never seen stuff like this awesome, good stuff man!
Still without doubt the best FPV video of all time haha!.
Wonderful footage there. Wish I was there. You got great weather too.
Love this video (and music)! Have seen it many times, very upbeat. Blackpool seems like a fun place to visit. Seems like a permanent county-fair. Would love to visit the tower and see the circus.

Awesome video and great set up. Congrats my friend. Can't wait to see what's next.
Probably the best of these Quad films I've seen. Music was a bit too modern for me, but I liked the filming and detail.
You can always turn it off! :)
Got to be the best clip on youtube! Gawd I hope the CAA leave you alone, that was one top clip and more to come by the sounds of it!
Also what amazing skill you have with the flying.
I love Blackpool so so so sooooooooooooooooooooo much!!!!! I went there for a surprise holiday, not that long ago my mum and dad woke !e up at 5:45 in the morning 🙌💙💙💜🙌 I was so exited! If you haven't been there I definitely recommend it, its OSM!! Blackpool is great for long walks up and down the promenade 💙💙💙💙💙 I cried on the day of leaving, the journey from Essex
Is 250 miles and about 5 hours, luv it 💛💛💛💛
When I put 5 forty five I meant that's when I woke up not the time in the vid 🙌
just bumped into you at Apedale. (red volvo) good to meet you. nice chat. cheers, you have given me some ideas. Stuart.
I can account for the wind in Blackpool. So bad that I've needed a coat during August sunshine! Good times, and a good video thanks :)
This Video inspired me to start with building multicopters. Thank you very much!
Now that is a fantastic video. Great footage
Excellent video. I’m more into mini quads but do appreciate the cinematic aspect of flight.
Awsome view! Wonderful job!
Awesome flight and amazing video. Great stuff, Blackpool has never looked so good :)
Great Video and even better flying, Thanks for sharing
Excellent flying skills, and a brilliant view of blackpool.
I know it really is a terrible shithole
veeeeeery nice FPV "like a bird"
hello from Greece!
Any chance you could up a little more north to Fleetwood and my old school - Rossall. Thank you so much for sharing, what a nice day too!! Wow!
Our beloved Blackpool !! The best place I have lived in - I will never move from here, not ever --- NEVER :D
+blackpoolbarmpot but its a shitehole really.. be honest..,,,
rob b Oh no it ain't :P
blackpoolbarmpot hmmm. Well i've been there and it was full of chavs on scooters looking for a fight ( they got one). and shite music pumping out the arcades.. Never Again..
this makes me want to go to Blackpool (and own my own quadcopter). This is a terrific video.
+Peter Anderson DON'T ! you will probably get done silly !
I have seen a few fpv videos on youtube......this is up there mate !!
Just have to convince the boss that I really need one of these.
The first track is Degrees of Motion - Shine on, and the second is Joe T Vannelli Project - Sweetest Day of May
Other than the music, awesome video and expert flying. Good job bro!
Really nice video and best music!
that was just wonderful,really enjoyed that.
Really wonderful :) Goes on my good stuff playlist,
