On a recent sailboat trip to the Mediterranean we came across a school of dolphins swimming and playing. Having my Phantom ready to fly gave us the chance to follow these sweet creatures as they were playfully hunting fish and jumping around in the water. This makes me feel privileged - such imagery is only possible with a drone and I am happy we have those things available now! Enjoy watching!

Nice video great job

Aloha five,

     Nice video!  Did you notice how you have to position the aircraft so the sun's reflection does not mess up the shot?  After a while you figure out how to position your bird for the best angle.  You also kept a good altitude.  Did you notice the juvenile with mother or auntie in that one shot?

     Good work - when you going back!

Aloha and Drone On!

Thanks brother! This was the first time shooting those special creatures with a drone so yes the excitement got all over me and I focused too much on not losing them (they are pretty fast and the ocean is big haha) so in the aftermath I noticed that there was too much reflection. Hope next time will be a bit more relaxed - or a different time of day! Thanks for the comment though. Didn't notice the small one, let me look again!

Thanks! It is a bit of an adrenaline rush and you can't go too low otherwise you lose them. Next time I want to try sport mode - maybe it helps.

Fantastic video. Thank you very much for sharing with us. Enjoy it and happy flying!
