THE HUMPBACK WHALES, 'Mother & Calf'- Maui Hawaii

PKPhantom · Apr 30, 2018

An incredible Drone video of THREE different 'Mother & Calf' Humpback whales off the Pacific coast of Maui, Hawaii.

As a Drone Pilot, capturing these majestic sea creatures was one of the MOST exhilarating flying experience I have ever had. Enjoy.

Very cool. Great music. How did you handle the sound effects?

Thanks for the kind words. These are REAL sounds or rather songs from the whales. I had a gopro underwater on one of the closer excursions. But re-edited the sound in post for the final drone video.

Incredible. Even the exhalation sounds of the whales?

Very nice. I would run out of battery because I wouldnt want to miss a second of them swimming around.

Yes. Exhalation was the easiest to capture. Whales have large and powerful lungs, the size of a small car. That sound is loud!

Ha ha. Tell me about it. At one time, I started heading back at 40%. But it was a calm day. No wind. Just engaged sports mode and I landed with about 8% battery left. Totally worth it though.
