Drone Video: See The La Brea Tar Pits, UCLA And More From Above

This story is free to read because readers choose to support LAist. If you find value in independent local reporting, make a donation to power our newsroom today.

Another day, another stunning drone video that captures L.A. from thrilling heights.

A new video from Mingomatic—who previously brought us this dubstep-filled gem— sweeps through L.A., offering breathtaking vantage points. From way up high, we can see the L.A. Coliseum, the La Brea Tar Pits, UCLA, Westwood Village, the Pacific Design Center and Santa Monica's Third Street Promenade.

It's pretty cool to see the pits and the Promenade's topiary creations from so many feet above ground, and there's something very satisfying about Exposition Park's neatly maintained sunken rose garden.

And if you like that video, check out this one of the Venice Beach skate park.
