Ep23. Mavic Pro. First Day Impressions. Its going to change everything.
November 18, 2016 by Cruising Off Duty | Language: EN Play Time: 00:17:38 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
I finally got my new drone. The Mavic Pro. This episode is about my first flights and my first impressions. My first flight ever was in my house, where I crashed it. My first flight outside was where I met a friend who has the Phantom 3 and we compared the Mavic Pro to it as well as my existing drone, the Yuneec Q500 4K.
I found out that the Mavic is crazy fast and responsive. I had it doing a constant 45 mph in sport mode. The range from the controller is unbelievable. On the banks of the Ottawa River I was able to fly out over the water more than 15,000 feet and did a round trip of over 33,000 feet and I still had 4 1/2 minutes of flight time left, but that footage will be coming in the next episode.
This drone impressed the hell out of me and since it is so small, I will be able to bring it with me whenever I travel or whenever I am doing an outdoor activity where there is even the slightest possibility that I may have a reason to capture a moment from the air.
This drone is going to change everything for me and my Cruising Off Duty Channel. It is certainly an evolution in drone technology.

Cruising Off Duty
Welcome to Cruising Off Duty. We are Craig and Janice. We love travelling and we love sailing, so we figure the best way to see the world is by sailboat. We presently have a 35' Beneteau Oceanis sloop that we sail out of Kingston, Ontario Canada, which is on Lake Ontario. We have a longer term plan, when we retire in a few years, to sell everything and buy a 40-50' Catamaran and circumnavigate the globe. Craig loves photography along with land based and drone videography and plans to document everything along our travels to share with the world through Youtube and other social media. For now, follow our channel as we show you the beauty of the Great Lakes and the 1000 Islands area of the St Lawrence River. You will also see the steps we take as start narrowing down the Catamaran we think will suit us best as we move closer to our goal of living full time on a sailboat and exploring the world. It should be a journey worth watching.
