I have had several big drones - had a Blade QX350 and a Phantom 3, but got sick of the shear size and storage limitations of the Phantom. So, I bought the Yuneec Breeze. Think I paid $399 and it sits in the palm of my hand. Records in 4k and has stabilized video, follow me etc. I found also that 99% of my drone use was all still pictures. The video is fun to watch, but more times than not its the pictures we are looking at.

That’s interesting I might look into to the yuneec. Your right the phantom is big and can be a pain something smaller would be nice.

Yes, I'm quite happy with it. For running shots I'll throw it up and hover it.

One of our favourite anchorages - Thumb Point. No idea why nobody goes there but I'm good with it!

Hard to tell , but you out front there East side or on the north side ? You're right though, we usually go right by, more boat wakes than anything......... :beergood:
