This is the stunning moment a light show featuring 500 drones was staged in the sky over Istanbul’s famous Bosphorus Bridge.

The light show was staged on the sky using 500 drones in the north-western Turkish province of Istanbul to introduce a new model of the Hyundai on 25th May.

In the images recorded by the drone pilot Yusuf Derinoz, 34, the drones that take off to reach their destination can be seen flying around the Maiden’s Tower.

The videos show the drones taking the model of a bird, the world and the newly released car, the Tuscon, as the famous Bosphorus Bridge that connects Europe and Asia can be seen in the background.

Drone pilot Yusuf Derinoz, who recorded the images, spoke to Newsflash about the light show.

He said, “I do drone piloting as a hobby. When I learned that there would be a light show with drones near the Maiden’s Tower, I set out with great excitement to make my preparations and record the images.

“I’ve never had a chance to shoot a light show like this before. But I was sure that I would get great images.

“Both watching and viewing that light show with the beautiful view of Istanbul was a really great feeling.”

At the end of the extraordinary show, which lasted about 15 minutes, the drones landed in the position they took off.
