I'll like to have an estimate of the altitude at which this video was taken.

Around 3000/4000 m ?

Hong Kong Night Aerial Scenery View - YouTube

I would say much lower. Its hard to tell, because it is night and there are not many visual cues. But towards the end, you can see the skyline of Hong Kong well and can coarsely estimate the height, I would say somewhere around 2000m / 6000 ft.

I'd say that's a good estimate, looks like around 6,000 to 7,000 AGL to me.

For comparison... :p

Thank you,

Yes, i think, around 3000 m; or a little less.

For information if this could be useful for anyone:

in Orbiter at fov 50, approximately, the tiles ( appear/disappear ) at level

11 450 180 km
12 180 73
13 73 30
14 30 10
15 10 5
16 5 2
