Almost always, my internet is never able to handle 4k. I always knew that it was good, but I didn't know why there was so much hype around it. I always thought it would look marginally better than 1080p, and even then I thought 1080p looked really good. I tried 4k in this, and thank god it worked because boy was it breathtaking. 4k really does make you feel like you're really there, flying above whales. Thanks for the footage, it was beautiful (especially the reveal shot at the end). Can't wait to get my hands on the Mavic Pro so i can get shots like these. This was awe-inspiring.
good one dustin! fantastic shot of those whales. it would be cool if there was a second waterproof camera on a teather that lowers down and dunks underwater for a submersed view :)
hey Dustin ! since I've been following you (quite accurately indeed!), I never disliked any of your vids. Many of them are actually a must see. No wonder I totally love this with your music score. I wished, quads were meant to achieve beautiful contents like this and convey emotional posts like the ones I've read here. just wanna make sure our new gadgets won't be some more nuisance to numerous creatures that already have not much of a choice when they come to face man... other topic, sorry. anyway this is what high-tech should support and I'm very happy/grateful that you brought it up, so we could enjoy this more than ''weeeeezzzzzzzz'' and other idiotically buzz about jerks messing up . thanks, thanks thanks!
+DJonMax Thank you I think. The key to not bothering the wildlife is to have a small and quiet device such as the Mavic. Very small and very quiet. IMHO the whales may not have noticed it at all or took it for some kind of bird if they did.
Great capture man! Very peaceful to watch :) I got some similar footage of Right Whales about 500m from me but with un-modded Q500 4K I kept losing video when trying to get down close at that range, no problem as they came closer. Even now that I've done some basic antenna mods on the controller, range on the Q500 doesn't compare with the Mavic... it looks like the perfect travel quad?
Dustin, I have a Mavic coming in 2 Weeks. I am sure there is a lot to learn before I film. I am due to film a wedding in 2 weeks after it arrives. Short time-- possible?
Hey Dustin Dunnill, I want to start a channel with my friend. I film with my drone and he filmed with a camera, but his camera is not to good. He will buy a better camera. And I will a better drone because with my drone I cannot see live. I went to by a phantom 3 standard, but its to expensive. You're awesome!🤘🏻☺️😁.
+TheHawxflight it was around 5pm so the sun was getting low Once I turned to have the sun more to the Mavics rear, the shot really started to look good.

I bet you were wishing for a polarizing filter when this scene happened.
Nice work!

+Cody Stevens It could be but everybody needs to pay it forward and share it :)
Thx
splash drone was needed
You got that right..lol
Weren’t you nervous about getting close to whales with all the laws and stuff? Awesome shots bra
Dustin, I have a Mavic coming in 2 Weeks. I am sure there is a lot to learn before I film. I am due to film a wedding in 2 weeks after it arrives. Short time-- possible?
+Bud Jones You can do it! 😉

How do you get all of your drones
Did you do color grading on this video or is it directly from the mavic camera?
+Raion Group This is raw with no filters, post processing etc.
sensacional

+Bas Peeters Good luck with your endeavors 😉
What settings do you have the camera set on - in terms of sharpness, etc?
+TheHawxflight All stock
Dustin Dunnill impressive, been looking back at my Mavic footage but it looks nowhere near this quality. Even when shot at c4K
+TheHawxflight it was around 5pm so the sun was getting low Once I turned to have the sun more to the Mavics rear, the shot really started to look good.
First 😂😘💪
PowerGaming c'est bon calme ta joie
There be whales!
Sorry
+Glynne Tolar lol..😁🤣
