A 16-year-old schoolboy reached towering heights – climbing as high as his drone went – to snap shots of Hong Kong.
Hong Kong-based Australian James Sight raced to the top of the building to let the drone loose over the city and film the climb.
With friends he made his way up to the 240-metre Manulife Plaza building in Hong Kong, and summited the antenna spire that tops it.
Once there, he was able to take stunning shots of the city’s skyline.
The climb to the top took about eight minutes. It was tiring but the views are breath-taking. I’ve climbed this building several times before and it never gets boring. Once we made it to the top, we took a few photos and sucked in the view. We packed the cameras and drones away and made a speedy escape and walked away from the building with nothing but happy faces.
