Video in Mapbox GL:

Drone edition

This past weekend I flew my quadcopter over a beach in northern California. At an altitude of 400 feet, the drone recorded video with a GoPro facing downward. I then used Mapbox GL JS to add the video to the map above. You can view the full screen video map here.

The built in gimbal and GPS help with stabilizing the drone

You can check out the code for this map here and the full screen map here. And as always, if you make something cool, let us know @Mapbox!
