Nice! That is a lot of dolphins.

That's pretty neat! Thanks for sharing.

Man, you have it made in the shade. I live in the center of Alberta, where we are land locked.
Seeing these incredible videos is so fantastic. I feel like a kid in a candy store.

Can I camp in your back yard? ;-)

we got up early to specifically go looking for them and couldn't believe our luck. Wished I had flown it a little lower now though. Thanks for the positive comment

great video

we have some pretty nice locations here which makes filming a lot easier. edit out all the mistakes ;)

So do we, but our wildlife is kind of a Nono to fly over. Atleast the drone don't bother the aquatic life.

If we get caught flying over our herds or birds, we can get in a whole heap of trouble. ;-)


Best to stay well back, or high over head.

I want to do this again and get lower, I think the footage would be pretty amazing then

Yes, but it's amazing  at that height too. I've seen many whales while living near the ocean in Vancouver B.C. But have never had the wonderful opportunity to witness dolphins or porpoise in the wild.

Witnessing your video was an awesome way to be closer to these wonderful, smart and friendly mammals of the water.  I look forward to seeing your next video, which will be awesome as well. ;-)

I love a thumbs up too, It would be spectacular to get closer though, at a risk

Nice video. What were you flying? P4? What was your preplan for this video? Did you wait until the first sighting of dolphins before taking flight?

flying P4, we knew there was a good chance early in the morning and the seas had been like glass for a few days so I paid our diveboat captain extra to cme in early and go looking for them. Only took us 40 mins and boom loads. When the conditions are right again we will go out again but try and get shots closer ,risky but worth it

just waiting for the weather to cooperate. Coming into a good season for it soon. Fingers crossed we get a pod like this one

I am hoping they are still there on my next visit in June

don't forget to bring my extra battery and arttek ;)

Never seen that many together.

Never seen that many together.

we only realised how many when we saw the footage from the drone. from the boat it looked like maybe a dozen. But there was easily 50 plus I think

Nice edit and song choice. Well Done!!!

Nice. Did you have decent polarising filter on there? Low shots would be awesome - but scary. Maybe use an autonomous flight mode to follow the controller on the boat and then you can focus on the dolphins. Better yet, use Autopilot' Airspace and  tape your iPhone to a dolphin

Hopefully when I bring my drone down in couple of weeks we can do an early morning run again.

Great video I have some ideas for a next dolphin shot can discuss after I arrive.

no polarising filters used. Was a bit scared to go too low at distance. More practice needed me thinks

Great idea and cool images!

Awesome work Guy
