On this summer morning we decided to take a drive to Cape Clear up in the Highland mountains of Cape Breton Island. The drive went well however the final stretch proved to be just a tad too risky for our comfort. There's always next time.... #capeclear #capebretonisland #dronevideo #mavic4pro

Snowcrab begins out of Cheticamp, NS, Canada, yesterday Conditions weren't the best for photos/videos, so a Sony A7R3 + Sony 200-600 5.6-6.3 G OSS is in use, then later my Mavic 3 Pro for a few short clips, thus this video is pretty well a mixed bag but hope folks enjoy just the same. 🙂
