A Spellbinding Drone Journey Through a Bowling Alley

A now for some­thing that’s right up your alley…

Using an FPV drone, YouTu­ber “jay­byrd­films” takes you on a some­what dizzy­ing tour of Bryant Lake Bowl, a vin­tage bowl­ing alley in Min­neapo­lis. As CNET puts it, “It’s an impres­sive bit of film­mak­ing as the … drone flies down bowl­ing lanes, nuz­zles close to the pins and then soars back toward the bowlers. Crisp, atmos­pher­ic audio — of peo­ple chat­ting, bowl­ing balls rolling on wood, pins clang­ing, glass­es clink­ing — adds to the imme­di­a­cy.” Enjoy.
