TL;DR — Here's a library of free 4K drone videos of the Hudson Valley that you can use for anything, no strings attached.

I love aerial videos of the Hudson Valley. But, as I've worked on marketing ConnectHV on social media, I've started to get frustrated with two things:

  1. It's hard to find good drone footage of the Hudson Valley.
  2. It's expensive to license good drone footage of the Hudson Valley.

So, to solve this problem for myself, I went and got my Part 107 commercial drone license from the FAA, and have been assembling a library of high-quality drone footage of the Hudson Valley.

I'm making all this footage available for free, under the CC0 license. That means you can use this footage for free, without attribution, for personal or commercial usage.

All of this footage is 4K, and much of it is available in both horizontal and vertical formats.
