Whales off Hawaii beach

[sawyerbrownlive]

First of all, I did not fly/record this whale footage. I was the spotter. After work while on TDY in Kauai, we stopped by the beach to get some shots of the coast. As soon as my buddy got his Mavic in the air, I spotted a water spout and a fin off in the distance. I encouraged Mark to head that direction instead of the planned coastline. He didn't hesitate, and took off. The whales were about 3800' away and luckily I recently had LASIK done and was able to see the Mavic up to about 2800' and guide Mark, at which point he finally spotted the whales on his tablet and was able to record them for about 15 minutes. Hope you enjoy as much as we did!

Cool vid! That's what I am hoping for down here in Florida. Not whales (only thing I might get here is a whale shark), but I would like to get some good wildlife vids. Good job on helping your friend.

Absolutely stunning, looks like a National Geographic documentary. It was really nice of the whale to wave at the camera

Very nice. I might have gotten just a little closer to them. Hehehe.

I'm glad everyone has enjoyed this video as much as me, co-workers, and our families have! We've tried to get more shots with more mavics (3 of us have one) but no luck so far.
