Newport, RI by Drone in 4K

For the 11th video in our "Blank by Drone" series we take you to charming Newport, Rhode Island. We just completed a 14-month roadtrip around the United States in which we filmed many videos. We have plenty more in the works, so if you liked this video, please subscribe to see more.
We were contacted by the Newport tourism office, Discover Newport, and asked if we'd like to make a video of their wonderful town. We are so happy we did. We spent a week in Newport, and between filming (mostly in the mornings and evenings) we were able to spend some time enjoying ourselves around the town. It's such a beautiful place! So a very special 'thank you' goes out to everyone at Discover Newport:
www.discovernewport.org
The song for this video is "Heights of Wonder" by Gyom. It was licensed for this video through www.musicbed.com.
The equipment used for this video was mostly the DJI Phantom 2 with a GoPro Hero 4 mounted on a Zenmuse H3-3D gimbal. Some of the shots were filmed with a DJI Phantom 3 Professional, and the twilight shots were filmed with a DJI Inspire 1 Raw...a new system for me which I'm very excited about!
Thanks for watching!

Idk why but this makes me proud to be born in Newport 🙂

[@BlueMantleFilms]

Awesome! Glad I could do the city proud.

[@peterbartram3453]

I grew up here, but wasn't born on the island, but my ancestors were the first settlers of Newport and Portsmouth. You can bet I'm proud!

[@amandahaque2417]

Yes

[@jamescorriveau9793]

Rhode Islander here. I agree Newport by far is the best. I tell out of town friends to always visit during late-spring and summer. And always make Newport your no.1 destination.

[@BlueMantleFilms]

It's beautiful, isn't it?

[@jamescorriveau9793]

It really is. Honestly if I lived in the part of the state I don't think I'd leave. Alas I live in Pawtucket and well it's not comparable to Newport.

[@livinginri]

James it still amazes me how many people don't know about this amazing place #bestkeptsecret

[@alejandrohazera7895]

I have lived in Newport since 1998. Absolutely beautiful and astounding place. World Class.

[@anthonypicozzi86]

Without a doubt, the best depiction of Newport I've seen. Bravo.

[@BlueMantleFilms]

Thank you! I'm happy that people who know much more about Newport than I do seem to be happy with our representation of it.

[@livinginri]

Ya this video was really well done!

[@matthewdavies7286]

At first I thought wow a video of Newport South Wales UK, and after 2 seconds of the video I realised it wasn't. They are 2 VERY different places 😆 great video though 👍

[@krystianziolkowski1361]

Pawtucket RI IS MY HOME

[@krystianziolkowski1361]

Newport

[@AvatarCo1]

Absolutely perfect. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[@ashleykaras896]

This is one of our favorite videos. We watch it a couple times a week. The music is even a perfect choice for these gorgeous images. Watching this video soothes my soul.

[@laramar9657]

And that my friends is why I live in Newport, RI. Beautifully made video that may even bring out a tear or two to those of us who call this beautiful city "home". Frankly, the entire State of Rhode Island is absolutely breathtaking!!!

[@JMarieCAlove]

Just beautiful, I haven't been to Newport, R.I. since Spring time, '91, I just remember how beautiful it is there and stayed at a sweet B&B, and saw a few of the Mansion tours and it snowed a little and I loved it all, visited a good friend in Massachusetts and then he took me to see Newport for a few days, I'll never forget that amazing place, I loved M.A. too, all of New England was wonderful! I hope to go back, this time with the real love of my life (not the guy I visited)! Lol 😉😁

[@livinginri]

Jeanette, it's amazing how many things have changed here but it is still beautiful.....

[@rebeccastetson1927]

Grew up in Newport... this video warms my ❤.

[@shaserdeses]

Phenomenal work on this video! Can't wait to visit for the first time in my life next week! Can't wait! Thank you

[@bobgray62]

Brilliant film - thanks for your time, skills and efforts. We visited Newport and Jamestown in September from the UK - what a beautiful area, your film provides lots of wonderful memories.

[@davidowren1794]

Does not get any better... Bravo to YOU!!

[@SamuraiPie8111]

0:30 I remember falling on sharp rocks and getting a giant gash on my knee here, my dad told me "Don't run". what did i do? i ran. had to go to the little visitor's center to get bandages

[@frankmaitoza510]

Beautiful! How the Newport of my youth has changed and grown but kept its charm.

[@BlueMantleFilms]

This was our first time to Newport, and it certainly had a lot of charm. I'm sure it won't be our last time there.

[@notnek202]

One word “stunning” !!!!!!!

[@FrankDiNardi]

Just stunning. I've watched this 20 times. The music is amazing. The scene where he goes from circling around the baseball field and fades into the sailboat is amazing. I live 1 hour from Newport. As soon as weather cracks I'll be boosted boarding around getting some footage on my phantom 4!

[@livinginri]

I couldn't agree more, I watched this over and over again. I have been blessed to do a lot of real estate in this area and this video highlights just how special Newport is.

[@davidowren1794]

WOW!!!... Music and Video! Thank you for "Poetry in Motion"!!!

[@semuhphor]

Thank you for this. Excellent.

[@DavidJeffreyflorist]

Magnificent video of a truly beautiful place. You captured Newport masterfully, Rhode Island is truly a gem. Thank you for this.

[@Rhode_Island]

Such a beautiful place. I love living here and am proud to call it my home.

[@thesailjunkie]

Sailing down to Newport during the summer on Lazybones. Hanging on a mooring for a week at Ida Lewis. Walking downtown. The sights, the smells, the people. There is no substitute.

[@DroneMinds]

[@BlueMantleFilms]

Thanks. You're right, it did take awhile. Thanks for watching!

[@williamhoward2731]

I wish to thank you for sharing this awesome drone video with me .

[@tonyrosa7944]

I used to visit Middletown/Newport every year from 1960~2012. It was the greatest place to spend a summer vacation. I miss Rhode Island so much...

[@likhorod]

Great shots! Awesome views!

[@joechoward]

My family and I are relocating to Newport in just under a month. I've never been to RI but, watching this video has me even more pumped to get their. Thanks for sharing! It was awesome!

[@livinginri]

Joe, congrats! Did you guys end up making it here?

[@Classof2020]

Newport is awesome! I love this city.

[@MoviesSam]

Another outstanding job.

Filming this video was our first time there as well. Been back once since then, and it is beautiful!

[@daunwilton700]

Beautiful pictures! Very pretty place to visit!

[@ellybijkerk5524]

This is so wonderful what an amazing video. I would love to go there one day ❤

[@markmurphy8850]

Excellent video! Kudos to whoever shot and edited that video. Wonderful cinematic shots!

[@shawnelizabeth9721]

Simply sensational! I’m from Newport and now live in another state; this made me feel like I was home. ♥️ Your work is excellent.

[@BlueMantleFilms]

Thank you for the kind words on our work. We enjoy doing it very much, which I hope can be seen through our work.

[@tommym8671]

Outstanding, breathtaking, and absolutely beautiful. Thank you for such a high quality video that truly captures the essence of Newport!

[@BlueMantleFilms]

Thank you! I'm glad I was able to do the city proud. :-)

[@livinginri]

Angelina, I think it's one of my favorite drone videos of Newport, RI

[@gtaccoracademy967]

Absolument magnifique très belle vidéo merci pour le voyage . Pat .

[@DmitriyArbatov]

Perfection. Video is really cool and sends the right vibe of this place! Makes me to think of revisiting R.I.

[@Emdrone1]

Great flying and great editing!! Very impressed

[@TheDutchRicolaa]

Beautiful video! Wish I had those amazing locations in Holland...

[@margharitasss1541]

It's SO Beautiful!))))

[@CJRC]

VERY VERY WELL DONE!! AMAZING

[@BlueMantleFilms]

Thanks!

[@larkingeer8366]

Awesome video depiction! The best I've seen so far!

[@BlueMantleFilms]

We enjoyed this one a lot...spent a week in Newport and got to see the whole town, eat some good food, and film some footage in really beautiful locations.

[@robtai8080]

good job. I love this video

[@coolsatovids]

Wicked editing!!!

[@sarahjanegirado92]

2020 still watching it! Been here once but def will go back

[@BlueMantleFilms]

It is a beautiful place!

[@nikospentzos6542]

As an islander. That was unreal to see. Awesome and absolutely amazing job

[@BlueMantleFilms]

+Niko Spentzos thanks. We definitely had fun while visiting, and it is a beautiful place.

[@livinginri]

Couldn't agree more!

[@REVELLO608]

WOW loved it

[@livinginri]

Me too!

[@Rick02809]

You have managed to capture this area, the likes of which I've never seen! We just purchased a 4K television, this was one of the first videos that we viewed, amazing and stunning images of Rhody! This inspired me to get my drone back in the sky!!!

[@BlueMantleFilms]

Thank you. I think this was one of the first videos I watched on our 4K TV when we got it. We bought the TV in fall 2016, so even though I had been making 4K videos for two years by that point, I hadn't yet watched them in full 4K resolution, so after getting the TV I went back and watched all of them. It was fun! :-)

[@omarcuellar2349]

More videos, please. They are amazing. Congrats.

[@BlueMantleFilms]

Thanks. I've got a timelapse video that I'll be releasing in 3-4 weeks (possibly sooner, but we're moving currently, so timing of things is up in the air), and then after that I'll continue working on drone videos...I've got footage for five more city videos.

[@omarcuellar2349]

Wow. Thank you, Congratulations for the channel :)

[@andrewraimondi2252]

Beautiful, we should use this for our Rhode Island State Website not just Newport.

[@thesailjunkie]

Sailing down there this weekend. Going to hang on a mooring at Ida Lewis and take in the music from Fort Adams. America the beautiful.

[@livinginri]

Mooring is one of my favorite restaurants! Ida Lewis is also an amazing spot

[@alexassenmacher]

I'm a fan of this!!

[@livinginri]

Me too!

Great work of art, of my hometown..now I know why I never want to leave The Island.

[@BlueMantleFilms]

It is a beautiful place, and we enjoyed the week we spent there!

[@livinginri]

haha I know right, this video is spectacular :)

[@SD-zx1uh]

Awesome song and editing! Going to Rhode Island this summer for some delicious vegan food! ☀️ 🌱

[@ajc5903]

Don't usually give a thumbs up in the first 15 seconds of a video but here you go.

[@BlueMantleFilms]

Thanks for watching, and for the thumbs up!

[@improperbostonian6722]

We drive down to Newport R.I. from the city takes 75 minutes, It's just scenic and relaxing , and rustic as most of New England is.

[@nategordon]

WOWZA! 3 yrs ago, huh? Excellent work for now, forget about 3 yrs ago. Heading down from NH to RI in a couple weeks. The old lady found this gem. Fantastic work! +1 for the fly-through. 🥂

[@adrastos761]

wow, was that beautiful !!! I was looking for 207 Ruggles, but did not spot it. I think this would be a nice few day getaway, it really is beautiful

[@thegreencircle1405]

Great video! You are so talented and I love watching your videos. You also are very talented and paring good music with them.

[@BlueMantleFilms]

Thank you for the kind words. Since the beginning of trying to make KZbin videos one of my goals has been to use good music...so many drone videos use songs that I don't like, and I wanted to take a different approach.

[@michaelannese7019]

kite festival Newport

[@burner3655]

Amazing video!

[@duymngo]

beautiful. well done.

[@BlueMantleFilms]

Thank you.

[@juanroldan6579]

Breathtaking video! This is the town where I went to school and where I live. Videos like this inspire me to pursue my dream career in filmmaking and advertising! Nicely done.

[@BlueMantleFilms]

You should! I started doing it because one person told me "if you're going to do it, you should do it now." That was almost nine years ago, and while it was slow-going at first, I'm happy about where it has brought us and the opportunities it has opened up.

[@livinginri]

This video makes you fall in love with Newport over and over again!

[@chickenlurkinyungchihuahua]

The shots were on point! Will visit here someday

[@BlueMantleFilms]

You should. We were there for a week and really enjoyed ourselves. It's a beautiful little area.

[@livinginri]

You will not be disappointed!

[@SamuraiPie8111]

newport aint the same anymore without the arcade or the weird knick knack store with the dead bugs

[@RS-io6vm]

might be a perfect spot to live long term

[@wajowski]

You guys are really underrated.

[@salbenedetto969]

Very nice. I wished you'd have have flown over my house - I would have come out and waived! Well done.

[@BlueMantleFilms]

For a moment I thought you were going to say you'd have come out and shot our drone out of the sky! Unfortunately some people have that mindset.

[@NewHaven203]

I live in Connecticut but I love New England vacation spots! New England is so awesome! Too bad I live in New Haven 😩😥😭😪

At least New Haven is not to far away

[@7nfo3ec67]

[@premyxpixel2561]

Very nice.

[@BlueMantleFilms]

Thanks!

[@normanduke8855]

The flying is fantastic but the split second shots slamming at you one after another is nerve wracking. I love Newport. Had an aunt who lived there.

[@BlueMantleFilms]

It's a trade-off. I've made slower-paced videos and they never get the same interest or viewership as the faster-paced ones. I have thought about doing more of the slower videos, but I recently heard someone say "This is KZbin, not the Oscars". Once I heard it put in those words I shifted my mindset to "let's make videos that I enjoy making, but also that other people will enjoy watching" with the hope that by generating more interest in our videos, then we can continue to make more and more. Thank you for your feedback, though! I do appreciate hearing from people who have constructive criticism, because it helps me refine the work I do.

[@dawsunn8033]

What kind of drone do you use?

You're welcome.

[@NockOnYouTube]

Would it be okay if I used this for an amateur film? Obviously I would give credit at the end of the film.
