DJI Mavic 3 Pro on the Snake River - The Other Side of the Swan Falls Dam

In this video I take upriver from the Swan Falls dam with the DJI Mavic 3 Pro drone. We had a look at a part of the Snake River that I had never explored before. It was a hot dusty day, but it's always fun to fly the Mavic 3 Pro. Here is my Amazon affiliate link for the Mavic 3 Pro: amzn.to/3BjfHKU

I'm glad you enjoyed it, thank you!

[@FlyinFlynnMedia]

Wow! Just when you thought the Snake River couldn’t get anymore spectacular! Incredible flight Mr. C! I would love to fly this in the early morning or evening golden hour. Thanks for showing us another great spot Marcus!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you John! There is always more to discover at the canyon. 🙂

[@DeneF]

Thank you Marcus.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you for watching!

[@maineman0866]

Great to see the canyon from a whole new perspective! Thanks for braving the heat to bring this to us! Maybe one of those pop-up shades would help! Looking forward to more great explorations!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you, yes, it was a hot one. 😎

Mavic 3 undisputed!!! Best Drone right now

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

It's the king of the hill! 😀

[@jimanderson4865]

Hi Marcus Great different look at the Snake River............👍

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you, Jim! It was different!

[@Dupree403]

Very nice video!! One thing i love about drones is the abilty to explore areas upclose and personal that you normally would never see

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Totally agree!

[@georgekelly1948]

Canyon or Kleiner. Kleiner or the Canyon. Fun Flights. Flights of Fun. Thanks for the great narrated adventures, buddy. Cheers from Wisconsin.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

It is absolutely my pleasure George! Thank you! 😎

[@WildCaptures]

What a bird! Very enjoyable flight 👍

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Many thanks! It is an amazing drone!

[@rickseyeview5345]

Great video Marcus. I always enjoy your flights on the Snake River.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you for watching! I appreciate it!

[@MrRaymond1021]

It's definitely a different feeling flight from the others you do. Some really interesting things around there to look at. Thanks for sharing Marcus. 👍👍👍

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@gmivisualsjason3729]

Well that was really great to see another section of the river! Hope to see even more soon! Would love to see up over the other side! Very impressive drone.......

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I'll see if I can get that done Jason! Thank you!

[@RonaldBrown59]

It's nice to see a new part of the canyon you never explored before. And the two tele lens on the M3P came in very handy on this flight. Awesome footage, thanks for sharing.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you, Ron! I agree, those tele lenses made the flight!

[@eranzg7348]

Beautiful Marcus 👌🏼 ❤ Thank you 👍🏼.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@jadope1]

What I fly...so gives me confidence. Luv the new scenery...for me anyway!! Have driven through there...but take a drone attitude...wow and different! Awesome vid...learning ...Thank you!!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you! We're lucky to have some great places to fly! 🙂

[@jadope1]

It does give us @@IdahoQuadcopter a different perspective on life..like from a different point of view...pun intended

[@robertbdrone6835]

OK, another great video from Marcus. Let’s do it. You always says let’s get that bird in the air

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

We have to Robert! 😄

[@AaronCampbellPhoto]

Really enjoy when you fly at the Snake River! Please post more exploration videos here, Marcus!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Oh, for sure I will! Thank you!

[@TeeEmmCee]

I love all the flights you take on the Snake River, Marcus. And this one is certainly no exception. Thank you for bringing this fantastic scenery to us. //Tom

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

It is absolutely my pleasure Tom! Thank you!

[@bmwrider1931]

I love camping there..great place

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

It is a really cool spot. 👍

[@delzane]

Fabulous scenery and outstanding flight range! It goes without saying, you're a Trooper for flying in this hot weather. Thanks for sharing.😎🥵🤠

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you, Del! That was a blazing day, especially in the canyon!

[@FredHarvey-wp2qy]

Thanks for taking us down into the canyon, Marcus! That give a whole new perspective on the beauty there. It was also neat to see up stream of the dam for the first time. Definitely have to move the Snake River Canyon higher on my bucket list! It was interesting to see that the M3Pro was capable of almost nearly seamless transitions to higher and higher magnification without have to stop the video in between. When you are down in the canyon, you can set the maximum height limit to much higher. The limit is 400 feet above the highest point around. You could set it to 900 feet and still be within 400 feet of the canyon rim. That would have allowed you to follow the irrigation pipeline to look at the crops that were being watered. I'm looking forward to your next one!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Yes, it would have been legal to go over the top of the rim. It was a fun flight, thank you Fred!

[@HikeFly22]

Very smooth flight

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you very much!

[@andyairshots]

Beautiful, the canyon and the drone😂

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you, Andy! I love flying at the canyon!

[@derekpask3633]

Well that was really nice, and a very different view close up. I remember the walk over you and Sarah did for us a little while back. That drone is really something, wish I could fly my Classic like you!!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I'm glad you enjoyed it Derek! It was a hot day in the canyon, yet still a fun flight.

[@javierrflores]

Awesome

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you! 🙂

[@robertkilpatrick8361]

All I got to say is WOW.........

Hi Marcus, Super 👌👍🍻 Many thanks and greetings from Germany 🫶

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you for watching Peter!

[@curtiscarinio7508]

Enjoyed the video 🚀🛸

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Curtis!

[@lindsaycripps1597]

Another great video Marcus. Never miss them. As a short time owner of a Mini 3 Pro I found out on line the precautions of flying over water. DGI say not to fly under 10 Meters (32 Foot). Can cause issues with the sensors causing the drone to land unexpectedly. Living at the beach I do quite a bit of flying over the water but am always well above that. I see you you flying over water quite a bit in the park at the Snake River and the reservoir. I think you are mostly above above that height. Is that because of you being aware of that happening? Ever experienced that?

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Lindsay! It's mostly still water that can fool the sensors. Honestly, I've never had a problem.

[@jamesfunk2889]

I have a new 32 inch 4K monitor, and that video looks really nice!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Oh wow! I agree a 4K monitor is the way to go. Thank you!

[@BlairAir]

Ahh it's our most Pro Drone.. the Mavic 3 Pro. It's very Pro. I do hope they continue to tweak it and add the best they have to this Pro Drone. After all we can't have the Air 3 creeping into its space. The PRO space. Did I mention this Flagship Drone is really Pro? Because it is. Pro, you know? I love mine, and love the showing you give it here! The canyon is always great to see, any part you fly. Go Pro or go home! 😂

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

It's the pro-est of the pro! 🤣 Thank you John!

[@jcjcarnes]

Great videos. John TVS

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you, John! The Subie is awesome. The question now is "what will my wife think"?🤣

[@michaelgilbert4005]

Great view of the river, thanks for showing us a different perspective. I wonder if collision detection was preventing the perfect RTH. Your car seems to be very close to the landing pad and I noticed the collision detection indicator was active and pointing in the car's direction. Anyway, great job and thanks for sharing.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

You may be correct. I need to try a landing without my car close. Thank you!

[@billburkhart]

Another great video, what's your opinion on the noise level of the props. Another channel is making statements it's so much loader, is this acurate? I trust your opinion. TIA

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I think it's pretty quiet for a full-size drone. 🤷‍♂️

[@capeRCouple]

wish i could afford that marcus,just found a great deal on an older very big drone(4kg) myself and will do a video on it once it arrives.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Yes, the Mavic 3 Pro is amazing!! Thank you!

[@jesusgjchuza6491]

Amazing video 🤝😎

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thanks for the visit Jesus!

[@zaviaplays5709]

Are you using the mic set to commentate while flying or did you add in after?

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I live narrate using the DJI mic system. 🙂

[@ssb73q]

Hi Marcus, nice video of that part of the Snake River. You need to get a straw hat or sombrero for shade. You said that the Mavic 3 Pro is your best drone. Was this video taken before you received your Air 3? Since getting the Air 3, I doubt that I will ever use my Mavic 3 again.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Oh, I'll fly both of those drones Richard! 🙂 Thank you!

[@123windyron]

Something different neat.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you very much!

[@lauren301]

My max altitude is set for 800 meters because I do terrain following regularly.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Yeah, it would have been fun to go over the top of the canyon. Thank you Lauren!

[@BobCaseyAerial]

Marcus i just got home and while driving i was thinking i wonder if @Idaho Quadcopter has a video. So here i am. Are you going to do more flights with the Air 3?? Those tress (Two in the middle) at the dam were shaped like horses..Was i just seeing things lol??? @25:05

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I'll need to go back and look at those trees Bob! Yes, I'm loving the Air 3! I'll bet you're enjoying yours too!

[@chriswhite58]

Great video

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thanks for the visit Chris!

[@rubricen]

It looks like a powerstation. Water comes down. Not going up.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I'm pretty sure those are pumps. Thank you!

[@123windyron]

Do the power lines go over the canon?

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Yes, there are lines that go high over the canyon. They're visible at one point in the video.

[@123windyron]

@@IdahoQuadcopter was just wondering how you never ran into them as many times you had flown there that was new news to me.interesting.such a big gap.

[@BlairAir]

I have some Mavic 3 Pro vs Air 3 in the can. A lot in fact. An editing challenge for me. By the time I get it decent, the Mavic 4 Pro and Air 3S will be out. 😂😅

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I hear you, John! Editing can be a chore!
