Cool! Bet the factory would like to use it.
Makes me want to get a drone.

Nicely done. It gives a 3rd dimension, and makes the "presence" far better. Very professional production.
I agree makes one want a drone--if only I had one...xxxx?
Jody, What to you think about he Mavic Mini: I realize they are't released until next week, no 4 K, auto white balance, and no manual shutter speed. But less than 250 grams, so no registration (?). Sounds like the pocket drone with reasonable features...

I have a mini on order just picked up my second Mavic 2 Pro. I think the Mini will have it’s spot good to learn with. Taking pictures for the internet 1080p is decent. Not having to register and losing some of the flight restriction is very nice. Still the possibility of someone saying you can’t fly here because they don’t know the rules. If One wanted the best photos then I would choose the Mavic 2 Pro easy to pack and carry around. The Mini will hold its own and give decent picture get one on order you’ll have a good time with it.

Hi,
I'm a former C-Dory owner, "Sea Skipper" a 2005 C-Dory 25. I now own a Rosborough which are in many ways similar to the C-dory. I used a drone this last April to film "Alpine Mist" underway on the first cruise of this year. The video was filmed in and just outside Fossil Bay on Sucia Island. Normally this is a very crowded anchorage, but in late April, I was the only boat the 1st night with one other boat pulling into the head of the bay the next morning. The drone camera system has a limit of 5 minutes per clip and as a result, the videos were uploaded to YouTube in four parts. The videos are not a polished as Checkpoint II's which is very nice with beautiful colors, and I need to add music and figure out how to merge them together.
Flying the drone and operating the boat single handed is a bit of a challenge - nearly lost the drone while landing. Conditions were quite calm with wind speeds up to about 6 knots. You can notice strong tidal current, which can run up to 4 knots, near the mouth of the bay. I passed this exact same area six days later on my return to Bellingham with winds blowing 20+ knots out of the NW and 4' seas.
During this filming, boat speed ranged from dead slow to just over 20 knots.

Hank! Good to see you post here again! For those who don't know, Hank is one of those guys who takes a great boat and makes it even better. He was the first one to tell me what the weight of a CD-25 actually is, vs what the factory info might lead one to believe. Also gave me the tip to have the factory install the Wallas to the front edge of the galley top to allow space behind it for other things.
We had Corsair trimarans at the same time, and Hank moving to a C-Dory helped convince me that this power-cruising stuff can be just as fulfilling. :wink:
I haven't tried my drone on the boat, yet... not too often we have calm wind days around here.
