Chasing Jet Skis.......

For some reason yesterdays high tide got rather busy with boats coming and going,   a few sups and a large group of kayaks,  although I missed those as Id used 4 battereis by then.   But before the drone ran out of juice I did have a fun little chase with a Jet Ski.




Taken with Mini 3 Pro.

Nice capture - was he swerving about to avoid you?

I doubt it.  I dont think he'd seen me,    it certainly wouldn't have heard the drone over the noise of the jetski.

Yeah, they're not exactly stealthy, those things, are they.

No,  I heard him coming from about 1500 meters away.

It looks like he is getting away!

Great capture DA.    Appears he was at full throttle during that shot.  Going through 4 batteries must mean you had a good weather day.

I must confess that the last two batteries had already started their discharge process so I only had about 80% to play with.   They are all full again now though.  


We had some sun,  some breeze and a few spots of rain but nothing to worry about.

I can assure you he wasnt,     I let him get ahead for better framing of the shot.

So, all in all, a good day I'd say.  

Don't know why, but the first thing that popped into my mind from both the picture and the comments below was the James Bond theme. Was that playing on the background when you chased them?

Love the trail.

Reporting of a hot pursuit between an escaping jet ski convict and a brave hero using a drone to chase him?

Nice.    I saw some pics of the boat launch from the other day that the company put on their Facebook that could could spot the drone in.
