That can't be Mexico. They didn't use the yellow filter!

Yes I was surprised of the view of the whole island the first time I saw the video. It was too perfect. Here is the video in a better quality https://youtu.be/xyYywsPXMFQ

I can't believe how much like CGI it looks like when the camera pulls out, even in high quality.

I love that Mexicans are fully committed to that napping posture

That's the tropical version of the one with the cactus

isn't it quite dangerous to sleep under a palm tree with coconuts like that?

You might wake up dead!

zacky765 t1_j3rnque wrote

What do you mean wake up dead? Can I go to sleep dead and wake up alive?

imaj1c OP t1_j3rrchv wrote

I mean, if I have learned something from TV is that you could wake up with a pair of wings and a halo in front of a man sitting at a desk.

I'd be more worried about what's crawling around on the ground.

Is it the south side of Isla Mujeres ?

imaj1c OP t1_j3qq9y1 wrote

Nope. It is Isla Lobos, a much smaller, lesser-known island located 30km away from the coast of Tamiahua, Veracruz.

I've been there! It's really nice. I like Holbox too.

And you've probably been to tulum, playa, cozumel, chichen itza and san cristobal too like every other white person who goes to mexico. Congrats!

Be careful coconut falling in the head is one of the top death reasons in the world a thing

Edit: For the sceptic ones https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_by_coconut

Edit2: I removed part of my statement as I don't have the numbers to justify it

Never in my 31 years of life has that thought crossed my mind, until now. Thanks for unlocking a new fear in me :)

Either you’re funny or you didn’t read the wiki lol

imaj1c OP t1_j3qyx9t wrote

yes I read the wiki :)

I have actually never ever seen a coconut fall from a tree. To me, they just quietly teleport from the top to the floor

erbr t1_j3qw80e wrote

Death by coconut is a thing though!

a_trane13 t1_j3qwwqr wrote

It’s extremely, extremely rare - doesn’t even need to be a worry. There is literally less than one documented case per year in the whole world.

People think it’s an issue, to the point of putting up warning signs, but that’s essentially all driven by urban legend.

That’s where I’m going to be today..

I mean not physically, I’ll be at work, but in my mind I’ll be pretending to be asleep under a tree there

This is like the ending to a movie. Your dad totally got away with whatever he did 😂

Gasman77 t1_j3sw806 wrote

This is an awesome shot. Also your dad looks like a dad, and I mean that with all affection. As in, he looks like my own dad.

imaj1c OP t1_j3v51xz wrote

He got the dad's outfit. With phone holder for the belt and all

Just traveled to Mexico and wanted to bring a drone for some cool photography but I found out they’re only legal for Mexican citizens to have/operate. (Glad I looked it up!)

imaj1c OP t1_j3v54je wrote

I did know of this. It's a shame :(

Omg, when reversed this looks like a super badass opening to a game or movie. I love it

As a non-mexican, I'm jealous of your ability to fly drones in your country.

Beautiful videos!

Dude you stole my dad. Give him back.

redsixthgun t1_j3unktg wrote

I think this is such a great way to gather a memory of a place in one shot/photo/gif. You can see everything as it was that day, in that moment. Next is “smellovision” and whatever lets you feel the local atmosphere :)

mylogicistoomuchforu t1_j3rfyl8 wrote

Nice drone footage.

Were you manually flying or was it a preset action?
I ask b/c on my DJI with presets like that - it doesn't drop first then raise out and away. It's an interesting move.

AdelesManHands t1_j3rhsqv wrote

It’s one of the DJI Quick Shot modes: Dronie

But you’re right, this looks to be manually done because it’s not as smooth as the preset.

1

imaj1c OP t1_j3rmwce wrote

Yes, I was manually flying. It was basically my 2nd flying session ever so I was kind of nervous; I also did not want to wake him up with the buzzing of the drone, so I tried to be as fast as I could. Therefore the jitter.

mylogicistoomuchforu t1_j3rq9pd wrote

It's a good shot.

My 1st day flying my mavic air 2, I DESTROYED it and had to send it back for repair/replacement so, you're doing great. Haha

My back would be so sore take a nap like that. Gotta go stretch now. No bueno

I come from northern country, and I've learned a thing or two in my half century. One is that wherever there are palm trees, you don't belong and can't relax completely. If you make yourself too comfortable, the real owner of said palm trees will eventually come and remind you of that fact. That and also, food where palm trees grows will most likely make you sick with explosive diarrhea.

Cozumel?

imaj1c OP t1_j3qzpnm wrote

Isla Lobos, is way nicer and more private than the Riviera´s islands, in my opinion. My family was the only one on the island at that time (besides some marines who work at the island and the "lanchero"/boat captain who brought us there)

bigbone1001 t1_j3rk9k9 wrote

not a good look with them picking up trash while he sits there

imaj1c OP t1_j3ro7qr wrote

That was a real moment; we did not set the scene up to make an Instagramable video where everything is perfectly clean. The people behind him are my family picking up the things we brought to the island. It is a protected natural area and everybody is required to make sure nothing is left behind. We were just packing up.

imaj1c OP t1_j3rooan wrote

Also, everything that seems like trash is actually coconuts laying on the ground. My cousin is picking up his towel/sandals.
