Drone Footage of a Weekend in Paradise - Riviera Maya

in #video7 years ago

I had never seen so many jet skis soaring on the turquoise blue ocean of the Mexican Caribbean, specially not in birds eye view flying a drone at a height of over 200 meters (about 600 feet). It was incredible to see so much marine traffic. High season has definitely hit Playa del Carmen.

Danny and I, along with some friends and family drove to a new beach club close to our home in Playa del Carmen. We were expecting to have a chill out day of micheladas and laying around in the sun, but the amount of activities and things going on was crazy. It did make for some good footage, but next weekend I am definitely going somewhere where there is much less noise and much more clean and virgin beach to fly over.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy a minute of what my Saturday looked like.

Great footage! Drones are awesome, these things already revolutionized the way people making videos.

I agree. Videos are so much cooler now. I have always liked different perspectives. Macro is also fascinating.

Beautiful

I'm not a ocean person but this is beautiful

Keep watching my videos...maybe little by little you start feeling the ocean a bit closer to your likes.

Nice! Need to edit together my clips from last week's vacation!

Do it! And make sure to share.

This is truly amazing. It must have been exhilarating!

It is always exciting to fly. Seeing what you are filming in real life on the screen is kind of surreal. I always wished I could see things from above like this and a drone has made it possible.

Very nice! I need someone to come get some footage of us #paragliding in SoCal.

I would love to. I am in Mexico for a while, as I am getting married in the caribbean in October, but i plan to travel aftewards. Let´s be in touch.

Oh wow this is awesome. Really well taken drone footage. We went to the El Dorado Royale resort in the Riviera Maya a few years back. Not sure how far away it was from this? But it was beautiful, the footage of the beech and sea in this video totally makes me want to go back.

For sure. Come back. This is about 40 minutes from El Dorado, which by the way is super nice.

I would love to but we have kids now so we would have to go to a family resort now instead. Just waiting till they get a bit bigger and we will be going back to Mexico, the flight from Scotland is a bit far for a 5 and 2 year old. I wouldn't want to inflict their tantrums on the other passengers. Lol.

Beautiful scenery, good shots

Thank you very much. I appreciate your comment.

Awesome video. Getting a higher perspective on a beautiful beach scene is just amazing.

Thank you @bluethread. I agree. Seeing the beach from above makes it even more beautiful. The colors in the ocean always amaze me.

Wow it looks amazing, great video, thanks for sharing :)

Thank you very much for your comment @vickstick. I had a great time shooting it and I am happy you enjoy watching.

nice one. i also own a mavic pro

I don´t have a mavic pro, but I know it is super cool. This was shot with a Phantom 3 pro.

I admire your way to live :) Please check my little journey тhe trip that I made soon. I hope you enjoy my photos. @nakedchef89

Thanks for sharing. This was incredible.

I am glad you enjoyed it @renssmit. Stay tuned for more. I am uploading a video as we speak to youtube. When I was flying my drone, I say someone paddle boarding and it turns out it was a good friend. Awesome footage.

Great footage! Which drone is it? Was thinking of buying the dji mavic pro! Any advice?

I hear the mavic pro is really good. It´s small, fast, great quality, easy to fly and has tons of features. However, I like larger drones. This was captured with a dji phantom 3 pro. I am looking forward to the 4, which has so many cool features...and then, the inspire 1! I guess larger drones make me feel safer, all though the mavic has an incredible range. I think like 7 kms!

another cool one :))) loveee the waterrr

Thank you @lenatramper. The water is amazing, and it has been pretty warm lately...

So beautiful place my friend,Sadly i don't have enough money to visit it :(
But even here in Tunisia we have a great places too :D

Tunisia is somewhere I would love to go. What are the best places to visit?

One day that drone will report your ship to the Big Brother for the underwater drone to start following discretely.

I can´t wait to have an underwater drone.

Beautiful! This looks like a great place to go!:) Please check my little journey that I made soon. I hope you enjoy my photos. @nakedchef89
