Cissbury Ring | Aerial Cinematic
Today’s upload takes you high above one of Sussex’s most historic landscapes.
Soft winter light, sweeping contours, and that unmistakable sense of ancient stillness — Cissbury Ring is a location that truly comes alive from the air.
This was an incredible place to fly, and one of my favourite shoots so far.
Hope you enjoy the full cinematic journey.

I was lucky to capture this video of my dog Beezer falling into the river Arun. I was setting up the Active Track feature on my drone and in the background Beezer decided to take a quick dip. Luckily he didn't go right in and managed to scramble out. Hope you enjoy the video and the others on my channel.

🌍 Welcome to Elevated Perspectives
I’m based in Ford, West Sussex, and I capture landmarks, coastlines, and landscapes across the UK and Ireland from above. This channel is all about showcasing the beauty of these places through drone cinematography — offering a fresh view of familiar locations.
So far, I’ve shared scenes from around West Sussex and and Wimbldon and a couple of stunning spots in Ireland, with more to come as I travel further afield.
I film using a DJI Mini 2 SE and, more recently, the DJI Mini 5 Pro — which brings so many exciting new features to enhance the quality and creativity of my footage.
Subscribe and join me as I explore the UK and Ireland from an elevated perspective. 🚁
