Air 2 The tallest building in Austin, TX (865 ft.) 4k and ~3 mins

This building is still under construction, but is slated to be completed later this year. Currently, it's the tallest in Austin, but that won't last long as one or two more are in waiting to surpass this one.
During filming I was approached by an Austin Police officer, who (surprisingly?) was just curious. He looked over my shoulder for a couple of minutes after asking what I was filming and then just meandered away. Why can't all encounters with onlookers be like this!

Thanks for sharing - interesting that there doesn't appear to be a helicopter pad at the top - it is common to have an emergency pad for high rises..... Hope the building will have tenants and get filled up!

Just up the road in Georgetown, they are planning a 1,927' building on the town square to compete with Austin! Just kidding, beautiful video, thanks!

Good flying & video work. Length a tad long for me, saw the building from every conceivable angle. Music a little up tempo so not such a relaxing experience. Just my critique, not everyone's.

Well we’ve all seen the penthouse view now. Do it again when it’s finished to show bldg management. Maybe some signed exterior stills for display in the foyer. No pay (without 107) but you’ll be famous..in the bldg anyways.

Those crane drivers must have nerves of steel. But I wouldn’t want to work in the building. Nice filming with the Air 2. I have the same drone. It’s a brilliant piece of gear.
