Over the Christmas holidays I spent a week in Cabo San Lucas (Mexico) and was able to get some great video of the whales as they came by in the mornings. I was filming from the beach, with most of the shots between 3.5km and 4.5km offshore - it turns out that the whales you see from the beach appearing to be "just over there" are quite far away!

The Mavic performed flawlessly, and I know I got much better shots from the beach than the tourists who paid $$ to go on a whale-watching tour, not even speaking of dealing with rough seas on a small crowded boat vs. me chilling on the beach with my margarita. The only upgrade I'd take for next time would be a polarizing filter to see even deeper into the water - it is remarkable how much your relative angle to the water / sun makes and I quickly learned to circle around the whales to find the perfect angle.

I am still amazed the we are able to get unique / amazing / beautiful shots like this with a $1000 'toy' - I love living in the future!
