The ONLY Niagara Falls Drone video you will EVER need to see | Sunrise, Sunset, Day + Night footage

Over the years I've had the pleasure of flying my drones over Niagara Falls for various projects. I finally decided to edit all the best clips together into one highlight video in 4K.
Getting drone clearance to fly over the falls is not easy. In fact it's the hardest location I've ever had to get clearance for. After getting a filming permit from Niagara Parks tourism, I then had to get further clearance from Transport Canada showing them my flight plan and safety precautions. After that I had to contact all the local operations to let them know of my activity, including the Niagara police, helicopter tours, bridge authority, Hornblower Niagara City Cruises, Maid of the mist, and more. And before even starting this process you need to obtain the advanced drone license from Nav Canada.
This video also features aerial drone video of Niagara Speedway Go Karts, the Skylon Tower, Clifton Hill and Niagara SkyWheel. And in terms of the falls, I have the American falls and Canadian falls captured. The largest of the three is Horseshoe Falls, which straddles the international border of the two countries. It is also known as the Canadian Falls. The smaller American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls lie within the United States.
For one of shoots I had gotten clearance to fly my fpv drone over the falls, but that project ran late into the evening and the quality of the fpv camera in low light, made it un-useable, so I didn't end of diving the falls with my fpv drone.

I filmed this video on multiple drones over the years including the DJI Mavic 3 Pro and more recently the DJI Inspire 3, which is my current drone.

[@SkyStepDrones68]

As the kids say these days this video is FIRE! I need to get here very soon! Thanks for sharing. Which drone did you use?

[@FilmsFirst]

Thanks for watching! Most of it was on the mavic 3 cine. I'm now flying the inspire 3, so I'll be excited to fly here again with that.

[@SkyStepDrones68]

@@FilmsFirst Oh wow!! Looking forward to that future content

[@topcropphoto6859]

Congrats, and kudos on getting the shots legally!

[@FilmsFirst]

Thank you!

[@syOnicOne]

It’s allowed to fly there?

[@FilmsFirst]

you need a special permit from niagara parks and advanced license to fly here@@syOnicOne

[@ADVENTUREKM]

Nice video I flew up to skylon tower with my drone too! What do you fly?

[@FilmsFirst]

I currently fly the inspire 3, but a lot of these Niagara shots were mavic 3 cine

[@VIP_Phil]

What mic are you using with your drones?

[@FilmsFirst]

No mic, I just added the sounds to the video during the editing process. The actual sound from the drone itself is just the sound of the propellers which isn't usable. Hope that makes sense.

[@VIP_Phil]

Makes perfect sense. I know how loud my propellers are but I've always wanted to get actual sound minus the propeller noise. Bravo on finding and syncing perfect audio 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@IanRaphael25]

Hi how were you able to get a permit to fly your drone.

[@FilmsFirst]

All the info about that is in the video description. It is the hardest place to get clearance to fly. I had to jump through about 10 hoops 😂

[@rickvance55]

What drone were you using?

[@FilmsFirst]

Mavic 3 mostly. I'm flying the inspire 3 now, but these shots were before I got the inspire 3

[@hangbbhd]

@@FilmsFirsthi, how are you? Love ur video. My question is. My drone is a mini. 249g so I also need permit to fly there right?
