DJI Air 3 Flight at the North End of Lucky Peak Reservoir

This flight with the DJI Air 3 was flown last October. In this video I show you a part of Lucky Peak Reservoir that you've never seen before on my channel. We explored the territory and got way down into the bottom of the reservoir. Thank you for watching!

Beautiful flight with the Air3 Marcus. Love this location and it looks like you flew it at a good time of day with the shadows. The camera does a great job with the shadows and low light. Very impressive. Thanks for putting this together.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you John! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@derekpask3633]

Thats my first view of that area of the dam, maybe not?. The first time with the Mavic 3, you flew it right down the reservoir then turn 90 and showed us the 28 by? Zoom. The first time ever,that any of us had seen that far with a drone. Amazed then and still am, what a tour guide you are.(and a lot more). Thank you.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you very much Derek! I enjoyed flying a different part of the reservoir.

[@PhillyDroneLife]

Spectacular view buddy. Well done sir.. 👍👍👍👍 Mikey

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thanks for the visit Mikey!!!!! 😎

[@TeeEmmCee]

An absolutely phenomenal flight, Marcus. I really enjoyed scouting around the area with you coupled with your voice-over. So interesting! Thank you. //Tom

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I'm glad you enjoyed it Tom! Thank you!

[@creativegeek1515]

I’ve hiked that trail that you hovered over. The trailhead is near a pullout along Route 21. I think it’s called Dead Dog Creek. I got my Mini 4 Pro for the same reason… to see things that I haven’t been able to see before!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Oh that's cool! The Mini 4 Pro is very capable. 👍

[@georgekelly1948]

Wonderful view of the Peak, Marcus. You had 59 degrees that day in October. Bring on those temps soon! Cheers, buddy.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

That was a really fun day to fly George! Thank you! 🙂

[@johnk7649]

Beautiful footage Marcus! Did you happen to see the powerlines at around the 9:20 mark! OMG, you came close!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Yes, those power lines were nerve wracking. 😄

[@SCAerialsSteveCarpenter]

Hello Marcus. Thank you for the exciting and enjoyable flight around the Lucky Peak Reservoir. It sure seems extremely low. I look forward to you flying to the Reservoir once it's back up. Take Care!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Hello Steve. Yes, it was near empty.

[@AaronCampbellPhoto]

Really enjoy these videos, Marcus! Prefer them to the ones at the city parks. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you. This was an especially scenic place to fly!

[@ChrisTietjen_00]

Great video! Thanks for sharing. If you're there in the summer it would be really cool to see what the resevoir looks like filled with water.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you! They fill it up to the top in the summer. 👍

[@deeweeuavp]

I've not used UAV Forecast since I took owner of the Air3 - It can fly in any weather here in Ireland ☘ Niceeeee video and location

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Ha! Thank you! 🙂

[@chefb1461]

OK, my friend, another great video from you let’s get that bird in the air

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Robert! 👍

[@femiomomo4467]

Good video. I wanted to let you know that youtube stopped adding your my favourite creators into my feed and notifications. I had to go back and search for your channel. So we are now in February and this is the first time I have seen this video! The picture quality is amazing especially when shooting into the sun! I know my inspire 1 and my mini 1 would not produce usable footage in these circumstances. Can you see the flickering on the rock on the rocks on the left which you started the rth or is it a KZbin thing?😊

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you! I'm glad you found my channel again!!

[@RonaldBrown59]

This was a great area to fly, those views flying into that mountain valley were awesome. You should have made better use of the 3x camera, so you could stayed higher for better signal. Nice footage, thanks for sharing.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Ron! I'll do better next time. 😉

[@usadroneflyer]

Air 2... Maybe should have been called the Mini Mavic 3. I flew Johnnie's and loved it... Just don't need it now! Beautiful Views.! Like #46

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Capt. Joe!

[@telebeater]

Great video sir. Just bought the Air 3 myself and can't wait to use it.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Good choice! You will love that drone.

[@sgtroc4699]

Cool video, awesome shots, very interesting area. Truly enjoyed it. Thanks!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Many thanks Sarge!

[@SzaryWilk-photo1967]

Another beautiful area. You have great flying areas there. Regards.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@ssb73q]

Hi Marcus, very nice video, thank you for sharing. I'm very impressed with your piloting skill.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you for watching Richard! I appreciate your kind words.

[@miltonsmith3114]

Hey Marcus, really enjoyed this video. Great location!!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you very much Milton!

[@beedroneinsta]

Hey Marcus good video, you found a great place to fly. Landscape is amazing. Look like a mountain bike trail. Hope all is well

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Michael!! Yes, this was a wonderful place to fly. 👍

[@theone2be33]

Wanna see this river in the summer. Also, how about getting some height sometimes and showing the horizon. Especially here with all the hills and mountains.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you! The reservoir gets quite full. 👍

[@jesusgjchuza6491]

Wooow, very nice the view is beautiful 🤝😎

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Yes, thank you Jesus, it was a fun place to fly. 🙂

[@Piratepoilet]

Great video m8. I really appreciate the effort you go to to fly you're drone and get that footage so people all over the world like me can watch it and lern how to fly better which is good for me because I'm a learner. fyi, if you turn off the sensos when you land it'll make it a lot easier. Don't forget to turn the sensors back on though.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. 👍

[@underthedrone2735]

Beautiful scenery! I never get tired of your narrated exploratory drone videos. Do you think the ridges on the side are caused by flowing water when it rises to those levels or is that man made by machinery?

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Those ridges are from the water rising and falling in the reservoir. Thank you!!

[@jimanderson4865]

Hi Marcus......Nice view of the different area. Hopefully you'll get back up there in the summer so we can see it full.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Jim. I had been wanting to fly at this spot for a while.

[@DroneUpp]

Thanks Marcus! Air 3 is awesome! Still trying to imagine what an Air 3s might look like should there become one.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

An Air 3S with a full frame sensor! 😉

[@Randomentertainmentz]

Pretty cool flight. When is the fly for fun group streaming live again. I really like the discussion. Stay blessed and safe all the time Amen 🙏👍 Welbeck here. My regards ❤

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Welbeck! Johnnie's Fly For Fun show is on every other Wednesday. The next one will be on February 14th.

[@stevenmales]

awsome' close to the wires

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Yes, it was. 👍

[@johnk7649]

Thanks!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you so much John!

[@rubengarciajr7560]

Nice area to fly your quad there

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you, it is a good place to fly! 👍

[@HikeFly22]

Really nice views.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Why thank you sir! 🙂

[@scottmoore8854]

Hi Marcus thanks for sharing another great exploration. That's probably one of the best reason to have a drone is to explore areas that you'd normally never see. What were the air space restriction you were refering near the bridge? I dont see any on Air Aware or Air Control.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you! The Army Corp of Engineers asks us not to fly there. Since they are kind enough to give me a permit to fly at the reservoir I will absolutely not fly in areas that they ask me to avoid.

[@RDsRCReviews]

Always love seeing footage from this drone. It's one of the best

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Ryan! The Air 3 is one of DJI's best!

[@jamesfunk2889]

I wonder why the drone didn't hit the landing this time. Anyway, the Air 3 is a great drone. It is hard to know how DJI will improve upon this drone, but they always do.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Yes James the Air 3 is great for this kind of exploring. Thank you for stopping by.

[@Okie-Tom]

Nice! Those stair step sides are neat!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Yes, the water levels do look cool. 👍

[@theone2be33]

For having Ocusync 4 I really don't like all the signal loss. And I have this drone. I think the Autel Evo Lite Plus is far superior in the signal arena.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you for watching. 👍

[@pp2trancos]

Hermoso cañón aunque no este colorado 😃😃😃

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Ha! Yes, no red in the canyon. 😄

[@chill62751]

Which drone is more practical? The Air 3 orMavic 3 Pro for the novice pilot.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

They're both easy to fly. It's personal choice really.

[@elis5453]

You didn't have drone hover 7 meters. That explains why you didn't get precision landing 🛬

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

That could be. 🤷‍♂️

[@finnybflyin]

Hi Marcus! 👈🥸👉Nice flight! You didn't raise up 7 meters above the pad for a precision landing. That's okay. Maybe They remove the grills in the off season for fire prevention. How did that blue car get in there? Cheers, Brendan

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Hi Brendan, that was a boat with a blue cover on it. My assumption is that is got loose in a marina and ended up there.
