DJI Mavic 3 Pro Flight on the Edge of the Snake River Canyon!

[@JohnCuppi]

I’ve seen you fly the snake river canyon so many times, but no matter what, there’s always something new to see.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you John! It's so much fun to explore!

[@waddac2]

Brilliant buddy, great footage there, Yes, it happens and we all make mistakes.......... But outcome, BRILLIANT.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you so much! I'm wondering if I really need that foam cushion. 😀

[@jimanderson4865]

Hi Marcus......Ha!.... I did the same thing with the foam the last time I flew the M3. The canyon is always a treat.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Jim. I wonder if we should even put that foam in the drone. 🙂

[@derekpask3633]

I never never get tired of that snake river, a shot of your flying partner would have been good too. and I did see quite a few birds as well, thank you.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Derek! it was a good day.

[@fairoaksguy7040]

Beautiful scenery showing these type of videos is not good for Idaho as people in California are going to end up moving there but keep the videos coming. Love them.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Yes, Idaho is a great place to live! 👍

[@usadroneflyer]

I knew it was the piece of foam you forgot to remove as soon as it happened... Had enough gimbal issues with the Air 2S that taught me a lot! Great Flight! Like #90

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Hey Capt. Joe! Yes, that foam piece is more trouble than it's worth. 🤣

[@charlieg9429]

Black foam pads on black backgrounds has happened to most of us. Don't feel bad, but I had to laugh. Manufacturer should provide a check list of all packaging as well as the photos. The pad in the camera cavity should be contrasting color. You continue to provide valuable tips, techniques and information.....and entertainment. Thanks

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you! I wonder if I need to even use the foam pad.

[@BlairAir]

Dressing a wee but light, for JANUARY IN IDAHO, eh Marcus? This can only mean one thing! You drove the DeLorean up to SRC... and got that baby up to 88 MPH! Too bad Mavic 3 Pro doesn't go 88 MPH, but that's okay..it goes plenty fast, and has a whole LOT of tricks in it's repertoire. They developed the Flagship to do so many things well! I really need to stop the jibberjabber and get my Mavic 3 Pro bird IN THE AIR!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Ha! Yes, indeed John! The time machine was in high gear! 😂

[@Caroline_Tyler]

You should add some yellow stickers/tape/paint on that outside of that foam piece so it catches your attention. Snake river canyon is majestic :)

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Hello Caroline! Yes, I'm wondering if I really need that foam cushion.

[@jimellison3358]

You know what they say that the memories the second thing to go. LOL

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Ha! 😂 I hear that!

[@HikeFly22]

Got the big boy out today. Nice flight

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you, I had to do it! 🤣

[@MrEddieNunez]

Nice flight Marcus! Don’t you agree that when you fly the Mavic 3 pro, you realize that it’s literally a world-class drone. All of the other drones are good, but the Mavic 3 is excellent!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thanks for stopping by Eddie! The Mavic Pro 3 is in a class by itself. 🙂

[@EricRoseBahamas]

Cool video, Marcus; and great call on the foam piece. Waving from The Bahamas 🇧🇸

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Awesome! Thank you Eric!

[@jesusgjchuza6491]

Oohhh man, spectacular place the view is beautiful 🤝😎

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you for watching Jesus!

[@henrytaaffe7058]

hi Marcus cool video.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Henry!!

[@chefb1461]

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

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Yes please! We must!

[@chrishope82666]

Nice one as always, it always the foams fault. Glad that was all it was.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Ha! Yes, thank you. It's easy to forget that foam peice. 🙃

[@DroneUpp]

Thanks again for the canyon adventure Marcus! Glad you got that gimble cushion out when you did. Great Zoom lens on that camera too!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you! I'm wondering if I really need that foam cushion.

[@georgekelly1948]

Beautiful November day, Marcus. I love that Idaho sky. Canyon views awesome as always. Whether right or wrong, I have always discarded pads and/or cardboard that has been holding the gimbal during unboxing. As you said, “a dramatic flight.” Cheers, buddy.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

That was really a fun day at the canyon George! Thank you for stopping by.

[@Procharged32]

Great video

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thanks for the visit!

[@duanerichardson1669]

Enjoyed the video Marcus, ive also left that foam piece in my mini 3, i was worried that it could cause damage to the gimbal, so i dont use it anymore in fear ill leave it in again.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you! I'm wondering if I really need that foam cushion.

[@joeamericauavfordav1096]

That looked like a really fun flight. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you, it was great fun!

[@RonaldBrown59]

I forget to take those foam pieces out also, but usually before I get even ten feet up I get a gimbal error. I surprised you never got that error warning. I eventually stopped using the foam piece with the Mavic 3, and have no issues since. Great flight, the canyon looked beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I agree Ron. I'm doubting wether I even need that foam piece.

[@philhechle5175]

Spectacular footage. Love the Snake Canyon, and with the Mavic 3 pro….amazing. Thanks Marcus.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Many thanks Phil!

[@dheller777]

I have left the little piece of foam behind the gimbal on my Mini 4 a bunch of times.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I'm wondering if I really need that foam cushion. 😄

[@Roys_Drones]

wow, thanks

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

You're welcome!

[@garywilliams9401]

Great video and commentary on the Mavic 3 Pro Marcus. I purchased the Mavic 3 Pro Combo about 3 weeks ago and am loving it. I hope to make it out to the Snake River Canyon in the very near future. Love your channel.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Gary! Yes, the Mavic 3 Pro is amazing, you will really enjoy it!

[@royjohnson2988]

Love your videos

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you so much!

[@SzaryWilk-photo1967]

Beautiful area. Flying this machine in such wonderful terrain is a pleasure. Regards.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Many thanks! It was a wonderful day to fly!

[@Ralph073]

I recieved an Up date today...on my Potensic Atom SE.. helped some with the Camera Stable...will let ya know how it goes

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

That's good. I always update when it's offered.

[@thedroneguy42]

Don’t feel bad about the foam Marcus that has happened to me a few times great video this drone is amazing

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Yes, that was operator error. 🙃

[@MicoGhostTheOldCodger]

Looks like you had an ID10T error on that gimbal piece you forgot to remove! Nice video! Thank you so much for sharing it with us out here in KZbin land.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

😂 That's exactly the error that I got!! 🤣

[@loydta]

I've watched about all of your videos Marcus for the last several years. I have noticed and I don't think many have that since the chip shortage the precision landings have been hit or miss. I have an older Mavic Air 2 that was of course before the chip shortage and I'm not pulling anyone's leg, it has never missed a precision landing. I've wondered if the original chipset they couldn't get and still may not be available was more accurate! Another great flight. I enjoy them all. I'm just an old KY fan here. Keep em coming.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

In this case I don't think I gave it a good look at it's take off point for precision landing. I appreciate your kind words. Thank you!

[@waypointnewengland]

Those tire tracks at about 12:20 in the video look a little too close to the edge for me.😮

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Oh yes, that's way too close! 😎

[@Randomentertainmentz]

Wao this is pretty awesome flight 😂😂 The new fly app is great for those who need to read big fonts too. Waiting for your 2024 tech review and videos. My regards to the family. Welbeck here. Stay blessed and safe all the time Amen 🙏🙏❤️

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Welbeck!

[@otero2235]

I have a hard time getting my air2 to do a precision landing. Sometimes it works other times no? Still lands very close even without. Any hints to make it work more reliably.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Fly straight up seven meters before you move off. 👍

[@RandyCAstleMPM]

Great Fright Marcus, Beautiful Shots! That M3Pro sure has a powerful gimbal i was surprised as well you didnt Gimbal Motor Overload Warning. Don't feel bad man I still have that foam piece but i stopped using it on my Air 3 for the same reason. I forgot to remove it several times, it always gave a warning tho. Mavic 3 pro is a beast no doubt.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

You make a great point. I should probably quit using the foam piece.

[@QINDynastyDrones]

Just sold mine I had 7 drones Keeping the Air 3

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

The Air 3 is a good one!

[@hikinganddrone]

Hey! You can’t fly drone in USA without the remote ID? Is this in effect now?

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

The Mavic 3 Pro is RID compliant. 👍

[@hikinganddrone]

@@IdahoQuadcopter I have Mavic 2 pro, so I need to get the module?

[@waypointnewengland]

@@hikinganddroneThe mavic2 pro is on the faa list as compliant so it shouldn’t need a module, it should just be a firmware update and you are good to go.

[@jeremyboyce1537]

Hi Marcus , I think you mentioned it before but what Screen Recorder do you use ?

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

In this case its the screen recorder that's built into the RC Pro.

[@jeremyboyce1537]

@@IdahoQuadcopter Oh ! Okay !

[@fsugrad03]

Stinking foam!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Foam we don't need no stinking foam!

[@elis5453]

You forgot to have it go seven meters above remember you brought the drone back because you forgot to take the foam piece out of the gimbal

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

That makes sense. 👍

[@kenwilkin8494]

Why anyone in the USA uses meters🤦🏻‍♂️

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Try it, you'll like it. 😀
