Nice promo but again makes you wonder how they get away with stressing out endangered sea turtles when they are nesting laying eggs.
The turtles didn't look stressed at all - they probably thought it was a relative on a flying visit.
How on earth could you possibly say that? It’s utterly absurd. You are no more an authority on “turtle demeanor” than you are on your cat’s demeanor. Some authority? Have you ever worked with wildlife experts?I consider myself a good judge of turtle demeanour and can say with some authority that these turtles weren't at all bothered by their visitor.
Don't be ridiculous. Hard to believe you both took the bait. I live in the middle of England and I've never seen a sea turtle, nor even visited the Pacific or Caribbean. Me an expert on turtle demeanour??? How could anyone swallow that?
Just bored of you guys hijacking threads about EVO videography with any kind of off-topic stuff you can find to jump on. How about discussing the merits of 24fps vs 30fps vs 50fps vs 60fps? How about commenting on the camerawork? Or the likely drone speed? Or the smooth motion? Or how miraculous the EVO lens is?
No? Thought not.
At least a drone is not as bad as a human trudging thru the sand past numerous turtles and nests to get up close photos. Should be only for the professional videographers, however, to share the scenes on nature documentaries, even promote their protection.I guess these experts should not worry then.
As Ocean Drones Proliferate, Marine Wildlife Are Getting a Bit Annoyed
It very well could be equally bad — there are too many variables to accurately say which is worse, both are bad. Even professionals are restricted and supervised, only using approved approaches and techniques to minimize impact. Even if the drone was virtually silent, the moving shadow could spook them too...At least a drone is not as bad as a human trudging thru the sand past numerous turtles and nests to get up close photos.

It really was not necessary to have in the video. The rest of the video looked great so why add something that will piss people off?
What if the EVO had a hardware failure and crashed into one of them, cutting a fleshly part of the turtle. We all have seen what those blades can do to human skin. Is the promo so important that they have to fly over endangered turtles? I think not.
Laws are crazy stupid because there are crazy stupid people that don't give a crap. That is not directed to anyone here nor was that mentioned to offend anyone anywhere directly. Just a proven fact.
I like turtles and most every other mammal on earth and going by the video, I don't think the turtles paid any attention to the drone. For all we know, they could have been 300ft high and using 2 or 3X zoom.
That's all I'm saying about that.
