Flying with a drone through a metro tunnel

Drone makes unique underground footage in Amsterdam

For the first time a drone has flown through (part of) the 9.7 km long Noord/Zuidlijn, a new underground North/South metro line that is now under construction in Amsterdam. The drone, fitted with an HD-camera, flies from the north of Amsterdam under the river IJ, the Central Station and the historic centre of Amsterdam.

Pilot on a bicycle
In the footage you can see how far this kind of camera has evolved. The pilot, on a bicycle, navigated the drone and on another bike did the filming, while someone else did the pedaling. The drone was filmed by a cameraman on another bicycle with a DSLR camera stabilized with a Sky Glide. Together this created unique footage lasting almost 3 minutes.
