My son Chris shot a nice pic of this beautiful yacht off the coast of Nassau, Bahamas. He used his DJI Mini 2 Ultralight Drone. Chris was standing on shore on Nassau while flying his drone to this yacht which was at least a mile away on the sea. You can view the Baha Mar Resort at Cable Beach in the distance.

 

The pic was chosen for an ad in the Bahamasair In-Flight airline magazine. Congrats son.
