DJI Mini 4 Pro at the King Kamehameha III Vista Point on the Island of Hawaii

This was our last day in Hawaii. I couldn't resist showing you the aerial view from the viewpoint. The Kona Coast is so scenic! The DJI Mini 4 Pro received a real workout on this trip. The little drone performed flawlessly.

Marcus, Nice flight with the DJI Mini 4 Pro at King Kamehameha III Vista Point in Hawaii. Nice views of the Lava flow and the trees on the Island. Nice view of the Power Plant. Beautiful view of the ocean and surf on the beach. Nice views of the condo's off the beach. Nice views of the Kona coast. Nice scenery on the RTH.

Hello Marcus-thank you for your great holiday video's-Hawaii is a place my wife and I would love to visit-Maybe one day-Mike in Australia.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Mike! We had a great time there!

[@171jacjac]

Ok, I’m JEALOUS right about NOW, haha. Thanks for taking us along Marcus, I LOVE me some Hawaii that’s for sure. I’m def way overdue for a return that’s for sure!! Tons of AWESOME memories with the family over the years. I wish I would have had a drone back then to get some great footage like you’re doing, oh well another reason to head back over there, haha. Thanks again for sharing with all of us! Stay away from the pineapple drinks if you’re going to be flying haha!! Looks like you’re having an awesome time brother, be safe!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you! It was so much fun flying on the big island!

[@henrytaaffe7058]

Wow Marcus you are a class reviewer love this footage

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you so much Henry. It was a fun place to fly.

[@DroneViewsMedia]

The Big Island is definitely on my to-do list when we finally get over to the U.S. Great video, Marcus 👍

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

You would really do it justice Alan! Thank you!

[@RonaldBrown59]

Great views of the Big Island, it looks beautiful. Nice flight and footage, thanks for sharing.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

It was so much fun Ron!

[@delzane]

Nice weather! I trust you guys had a great time. Not missing much here, except exorbitant smoky skies. Thanks for sharing!😎

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

The weather was quite nice Del. I did a ton of flying. You get sick of seeing my Hawaii videos! 😄

[@HikeFly22]

Really beautiful

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@thomashardy9994]

My wife and I visited the big island several years ago. I’d like to go again and take a drone this time. Thanks for the views.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Oh yes, Hawaii is a great place to fly drones. 👍

[@kevinlaster4909]

This was a great video. I've been on the big island many times and it never gets old. 808 drone has a channel there with some spectacular views of the big island with hia autel evo drone. Thanks for the views.

[@jesusgjchuza6491]

Spectacular

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Jesus! It is a great place to fly!

[@sneakysweeno]

Hi Marcus just wanted to say your videos have helped me so much. I got a dji mini 2 se for Christmas and I was so scared to even take it out the box for months. Treating it like it was glass and would break at the slightest touch. But your videos helped me build confidence and get used to the controls and I started posting videos on my channel a couple months ago. I watch all your videos. Keep up the good work chief droner 😁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you very much! I love hearing stories like yours. Yes, fly drones, and have fun!

[@johnk7649]

Book'm Dano! Nice video, Marcus!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Boom! Thank you John! 😄

[@roberthunt7938]

I just got back from the Big Island and brought my Air 3, it's a fantastic place to fly drones! An amazingly beautiful place.

[@waymor2460]

Just curious about what it’s like to travel thru airports with the Air 3 and its batteries and what restrictions you may have had in Hawaii.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

You cannot put lithium batteries in checked luggage. Other than that you're good.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Yes, it is a wonderful place to fly! So much varied terrain.

[@user-SSPAUL]

Great video 😊. Love mini 4 pro , prozer wozer !!!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

The Mini 4 Pro is downright amazing.

[@user-SSPAUL]

It’s only as good as the flyer 🫡😎⚡️🔥💥💯

[@terryhawesdroneseeker.3283]

Nice Marcus, I now have the DJI 2 Mic and can see/hear from your video the benefit, Thanks!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Terry! It's easy to sync the audio up with the video from your drone. It works quite well.

[@simonzero3815]

My money says the small structure on the hill side is a geo station in order to measure activity when the ground shakes. Great shots Markus, but still no flipping Sharks, Si.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Oh, yes, that could very well be what that is. Thank you!

[@jimanderson4865]

Hi Marcus. Yes the water over there is amazing. I stayed at the resort right by those Hapaiali'i Heiau Monument maybe 10 yrs ago. Resort looks to be torn down now. The Mini 4 did a great job. Since you were just there. Do they allow loud laughing in Hawaii......or just A Low HA! 😎

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Oh no Jim, a high Ha for sure! 🤣

[@exploringwithjohnny6947]

look lovey Marcus lwhat lovey view some have pay lot be there on hollday .thank you look forword more vids urs .john

Thank you Johnny, it was an amazing place to fly!

[@seanarnold9513]

Thank you, the video is amazing.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you, I'm so glad you liked it!

[@barrymarkowitz3313]

With my local kine eyes I reckon I saw a smaller heiau (small square rock formation early on and on your Return to Home). I am not a Big Island guy, but adjacent to the large heiau you may have documented one or two historic traditional fish ponds...a major resource. Throughout Hawaii fishponds are being restored with as great a reverence as protecting the heiaus

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Barry! I saw some fish ponds while at Pu'uhonua o Honaunau. I love how the Hawaiians preserve their history and honor their ancestors.

[@JohnRm1_Drone]

Nice that your here🙌🏽 I live here and theres many places to use your drone😁 I wish i could go anywhere to take shots on my mini 3 everyday but its busy lol

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Your island is beautiful! You have so many places to fly!

[@JohnRm1_Drone]

@@IdahoQuadcopter Your welcome to go anywhere to take shots🙌🏽😊

[@stevesshotts]

OK... now you're just showing off😁 First the spectacular Oregon coast videos to Hawaii? Impressive and EPIC! I'm really enjoying your travel Vlog and am looking forward to your next installments. Did you also bring your Air 3 along to Hawaii? I'm only asking because of battery travel restrictions and/or if you just decided to keep the weight down in your carry-on luggage by having just the Mini 4 Pro. Other than size/weight, wind tolerance and the additional 3x camera, I know the Air 3 and the M4P are virtually identical in capability specs. Thank you for sharing your vacation with us.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Steve! I just packed the Mini 4 Pro for the very reasons you stated. 👍

[@pp2trancos]

Estando ahí seguro que las baterías se te hacen escasas 🌋🌋🌋

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Oh yes, I flew every day!!

[@judithwebber2102]

The mini 4 camera is flat amazing. I also fly the DJI mini 4 drone around Arizona and I am very happy with the color on my videos. Do you do any post production on your videos or do you post them as is. It is starting to get a little cooler around Phx., Gilbert Az area. When it stays below 100 degrees in about Oct., we can start flying again. Your videos inspire me. You always pick very scenic areas when u fly. Joe from Az.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Joe! I post straight of the card. Yes, you've had some hot weather in AZ!

[@barrymarkowitz3313]

Samoa next, or coming to see me in Hawaii Kai? Aloha, Barry

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Heck yes Barry, next time in Hawaii we'll be sure to spend some time on Oahu.

[@Cozydrone]

I am second place😁.

[@sxmindian]

First!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Nice!

[@judithwebber2102]

How do the airlines handle the DJI drone batteries on your flight. Do u have to tell them that u have lithium drone batteries in your luggage.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

You cannot put lithium batteries in checked luggage, other than that you're good.

[@scottooley6056]

Do you need to register with the Intelligent Flight Battery Plus?

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Yes, and you need to register it aan RID drone.
