Dang good looking wave.
What drone you all using?

Mavic 2 Pro...I bought it for a trip last October. We rented a Catamaran in BVI for 7 days. I bought a Hubsan H501S first, and it was ok, but I knew Id be dissapointed if I used it for the trip. So I went all in, and bought the Mavic, and it was worth every penny. The vids are even better than the pics.

Well....that’s boating done for at least the month of April. Our see-you-next-Tuesday of a Governor just banned all motorized boating in the state of Michigan.

That sucks Stazi

Was the governor being draconian or were douche canoe frat boys holding sandbar and tie-up parties that led to such drastic measures?

Nobody is boating in Michigan yet, still pretty cold. The governor originally encouraged boating and outdoor activities during the stay at home order, obviously she changed her mind.

Those are beautiful pics. I am looking at getting the Mavic air for this summer. They can be had for 30% off because the Air 2 is coming out. After extensively looking at videos and reviews on youtube, I find the Mini even has better video image than the longer in the tooth Mavic air. That's why I haven't pulled the trigger. Kinda holding off on reviews for the air 2 to come out to see if they upgraded the video quality (sensors, lenses software, etc). I don't want the mini because I want the follow me feature which can be usefull for following a surfer, also want the obstacle avoidance sensors the mini lacks. Really like the Mavic Pro versions but they are more Pro-sumer versions with a bit of higher price I'm willing to spend.

Lake Conroe this week

Nice wave on the Max! Got any video of the wave from the drone?

Took a couple GoPro pics yesterday. It’s getting warmer out. I’m guessing in a week or two we won’t need the wet suites.

The Air made more sense for traveling, because its so compact, but the 10min battery life made me nervous. You can set the drone to come home at any percentage of low battery, but that doesnt help on a boat. Also, I've found its actually safer to catch the drone, instead of trying to land it on a boat. There is a whole new curve of learning on a boat verse land lol. The Mavic 2 Pro has a 20min battery, and that sealed it for me, since I knew I'd be flying over water 90% of the time. Unfortunately, the ski resorts wont let me fly it there, so I cant use it for snowboarding.
