A beautiful dawn and the Seals were singing, so a short AIR3 fight to see if we could capture the scene... The first half is the seals, and the second half is the wonderful views - captured using the long telephoto at max zoom to avoid disturbing the seals...

Interesting to see their trails. Beautiful views.

Thank you kindly... yes, they do leave interesting trails...

Must have been a great experience, hearing them too.

Lovely, and well spotted Suzanne.

Had heard them last time we were there, but couldn't get close enough with the MINI3 Pro to capture much...

Thank you kindly

Such lovely footage - put a smile on my face

Thank you kindly

You're very welcome.

Really nice close-ups of the seals and it seemed they didn't even hear the drone.  Intriguing trails they leave behind as they waddle around.  Another impressive video.

Thanks... yeah, I was a fair distance away, using the AIR3, and the 77mm lens with digital zoom, not 100% happy with the clarity, but it was what I got, and its a bit far to go back and try again - at least for the time being...

You're very welcome.  At least with the Air 3 you have the option of using the long telephoto lens whereas with the Mini 3 Pro or Avata you'd have gotten too close and probably scared off the seals.  

Beautiful footage, always good to enjoy the wildlife from afar. The Air3 did a respectable job considering the magnification.

That’s a great step up for sure.

Also very nice!
