Hello from Shetland

Hello all,

Completely new to drones!

My Christmas present to myself was a DJI Mini 4 Pro. I was wanting something light that would fit easily in my main camera bag for taking on long walks.

Hoping to use the drone mainly for Killer Whales and other cetaceans, but also Otters and the odd bit of scenery.

So far I’ve managed to catch the Aurora Borealis and got video of a seal having a pee.

Here’s a few - get them coming in the bay where I work. Unfortunately it’s an airport, so I won’t be able to get them with the drone there.
