Hi guys,

Challenging conditions but the Mavic handled them like a champ! Enjoy.

Is it me or the waves seem like a stop-motion animation? I noticed the same thing with my Mavic shooting at 4K/24fps. Was it due to compression?

Might have something to do with clouds throwing shadows on the water combined with craft and wave movement. Looks like guys are traveling without moving. For me anyway.

Wow that looked like some serious wind.

Yup constant wind warnings on GO4 app. On the ground was around 15 knots gusting to 20. On that last shot I was at 112 meters and at that height it would have been considerably more.

Had the drone shakes most of the time I was flying must be honest. Was challenging but it is nice to have understanding of the subject you are shooting. Have been Kiteboarding for 17 years now, so for instance I know industry standard for kite lines is usually 25 meters. So kept that in mind when approaching kiters. Wind theory, kite dynamics all comes into play. Was a fun day out learning.

Well worth the effort with great results!  The MP is an amazing machine.
