    Finally hand launched and caught from kayak

    Ah, that's the way to do it. Change it to just hover. Yes, I'll do that next time. And keeping an eye on battery life more than usual will be crucial. Thanks for the input.

    Great to hear, please let me know if there's anything you'd like to see more of. That sounds great, let me know how it goes for sure.

    Finally hand launched and caught from kayak

    Haha, thanks. I'm just glad I was able to catch it. I think I'd have been just as nervous from a small boat as well.

    Finally hand launched and caught from kayak

    I've been using the Mavic a lot on our paddles, but always from land. So I'd catch times when we were starting or stopping. For a long time I wanted to attempt to launch in one spot, have it track us for a bit, and land somewhere else. Worked great. Took a long time for me to build up the...

    Took my Mavic to Mexico for a camping trip. Short surf video.

    It's time consuming but essential when you shoot from different cameras. Otherwise you lose that continuity. It's helpful to start with flat profiles across all your devices, and then when color grading start with the same correction profile and adjust as needed to keep them cohesive. It'll...

    Took my Mavic to Mexico for a camping trip. Short surf video.

    Thanks guys, much appreciated. Absolutely. It's great to see how each flyer gets to include aerial footage in their own type of adventure. For us it establishes such a different perspective that we're not used to. It's also fantastic for analyzing technique - you see the entire body motion at...

    Took my Mavic to Mexico for a camping trip. Short surf video.

    I thought the Mavic was great, until this trip. We explored a Canyon in Chiapas, and the Mavic easily fit with my gear in my kayak. That video will take me a while to edit - but the footage was incredible. The biggest thing though, I had it packed with 3 batteries ready to fly at a moment's...

    Took the Mavic kayaking to Execution Rocks, NY

    That's a goal, but not until I feel super comfortable with the Mavic. I've heard some bad stories of people getting cut up when hand launching/landing while moving... Yes, lots of beautiful kayaks in this group. And it's always good to practice rolling in these cold conditions. Chilly but...

    Took the Mavic kayaking to Execution Rocks, NY

    I've now taken it with me kayaking twice, and I know I mentioned it before, but it's a game changer. The ease to be able to pack it and fly it anywhere we stop makes my videos so much richer. This is an example of a day where I wouldn't have been able to take my phantom, but the Mavic added some...

    Sea kayaker here - Mavic is a game changer for us.

    Same here. I do the flying for now from the shore. As I get more comfortable we'll see how/if that changes. Sent from my iPhone using MavicPilots
