While we have embedded the videos into this this page, you may prefer to see them on Youtube.

Drone footage of several rivers was shot in Ultra High Definition (UHD) for a variety of purposes, mostly in June/July 2017.  We recommend you change your Youtube settings to minimum HD.

If you would like original unedited drone footage for education, conservation or research purposes, please contact manager@braid.org.nz.
