We dropped off my cousin early morning at the Lisbon airport and then head out to the Oriente Train Station which wasn't too far from it. With our drone flying permission in hand we climbed up a little hill right next to the station to prepare everything for takeoff. This area is a very highly regulated drone flying zone because of its proximity to the airport and we had to ask for special permission to fly here. The drone app on my phone even warned me several times and I had to check couple of disclaimers before I was able to fly.
The train station is no stranger to us, we've already published an article about it but in case you haven't read it, check the link. It was designed by Santiago Calatrava our good old friend from Valencia. It was built as an access port for the 1998 World Expo and we think Calatrava did an amazing job, it's such an unique but weird building and it looks best via the view from high above. Thank you DJI Spark for making this possible.
Some of the cuts are weird (sorry) but what really bothers me are the LED lights flickering at the bus station. Oh man, it kind of ruins the shots. Of course I didn't notice it while flying (had other things on my mind) otherwise I would've set the camera to a slower shutter speed.
We then went for a brisk walk through the Parque des Nacões to get to our second drone takeoff spot right next to the Myriad Hotel, which looks like a giant steel sail.
And now the full video, we hope you like it. And if you do ... don't be shy and leave a little upvote / resteem. It wold mean a lot to us.
