Dubai-based first-person-view (FPV) drone videographer André Larsen is one of the few filmmakers with commercial work that permits filming this close to the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building on the planet.
The short yet incredible video above, FPV Dive Burj Khalifa Top to Bottom, is a fantastic example of this rare access. See what the drone sees as it plummets 828 meters (2,716.5 feet) down the side of the Burj’s 163 floors.
