Here is a little Edit of this weekend down in Florida, out Boating with Friends. We went to Nixon Sand Bar and then out cruising by Stiltsville in Biscayne Bay. All footage was shot with the Mavic Pro using the Polar Pro Filters Vivid Series ND8PL. The ND8 brings up color to your videos without the need of much post production color correction and the Polarized aspect of the lens gives better glare reduction when shooting over water on sunny days. the follow shots of the boat where done on sports mode to be able to keep up with the boat going at 45 knots (nautical miles /h), at which speed active track does not work.  Hope you all enjoy and hit like and Share if you really liked Thanks for Watching!

Very nice, looks like great fun!  Wish I were there.

Thanks man!  youve got some great shots on your instagram!

Yeah nice. Provides me with good inspiration; though I'm not sure a battery powered pug on the Norfolk Broads in claggy UK weather will compare.

ha! you will be surprised how well the battery powered pug behaves, without a doubt any wind over 20 mph would be a challenge specially if flying over water, lol, sounds like you need a weather proof bird. Thanks for watching and hope you find a good weather window to let your inspiration flow!

Cheers!

Great footage bud like it

Here in sunny UK we have a sunny weather window of about 5 minutes, and it's usually during working hours.
Nice shots man.

Nice shots man.

haha 5 min window, thats crazy, i bet there are so many amazing places to shoot there! cant wait to visit the island and get around even if i cant get some aerial footage!

Hope you get some good weather on non working hours!

Cheers Mate!

There are some really beautiful places to visit in every town in the UK. Just make sure you have someone watching your back and there are no scallywags waiting to steal your drone.

great stuff...the filter ND8PL? just snap on over lens...no issues no scratching of camera lens etc..?

the filter snaps on without any issues of scratching the lens or obstruct gimbal initialization when initiating the mavic (if properly attached). Polar Pro's website does a good job explaining how to properly put on and take off the filters. I really like the quality and the build on their products. hope this info was helpful!

thanks for watching! Fly safe!

Very nice, Thanks for sharing.

When you say you shot the boat follows in sports mode, is that to say that you manually flew the drone yourself following the boat? Just curious, but nice stuff! I love droning around Florida!

that looks so cool

Hi, yes for the follow shot i manually flew the drone to get the shots on SPORTS (S) Mode.  the Mavic flies very well and is very precise at high speed on S mode. lots of fun in open spaces. ive seen the shot done with active track as well and it sure looks smooth too, but the boat needs to go slower for active track to keep up with the boat under P mode .

Im glad you liked the shots! Thanks for watching! fly safe!

Glad you liked the edit! thanks

Great shots but that sure didn't look like  45 knots to me.  More like around 35 at best.......still nice though

And all this with a Mavic pro. Great! Thank you for sharing.
