DJI Mini 4 Pro Flight at Turner Gulch

In this video I fly the DJI Mini 4 Pro up Turner Gulch by Lucky Peak Reservoir. It was a sunny fall day in October with very little wind and the reservoir was glassy smooth. I climbed up the gulch with the Mini 4 and did some exploring. I hope you enjoy it.

Excellent video, Marcus. October in Idaho is PERFECT flying weather!!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you John! it was a near perfect day.

[@judithwebber2102]

The last comment was from Joe Webber not Judith.

[@usadroneflyer]

I think it's crazy that you could not fly to the top of the mountain. I've never been stopped when above a water tower... I was at 560 AGL (tower 160) with no issues. That would be a great place for the Avata! Send it! Like #140 - Thanks for sharing.... Loved the Pano!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you, Capt., Joe. Yeah, that crappy DJI Occusync let me down! 😒

[@rianthurman1319]

So if you weren't near a flyway to an airport will DJI allow you to go above 150 meters?

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Yes, they would, but 120 meters is the legal limit. 👍

[@RonaldBrown59]

Nice flight, and very interesting that you discovered those sail boots out on the river. And I;m glad you stopped and snapped some photos. Great flight Marcus, and thanks for sharing.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Ron! I always look forward to your thoughtful comments.

[@captraykelly]

Great video, Marcus. Beautiful area too. It's a little different than Jensen Beach. Kudos. See you soon at the SFDM.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Capt. Ray! Yes indeed, the SFDM is just around the corner!

[@georgekelly1948]

Blue sky. Puffy white clouds. Varied landscape. Interesting vegetation. Placid, reflecting water. Sailboats. Demo of Mini 4 features. Informative narration. This flight has it ALL! Well done, Marcus. Cheers from Wisconsin.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

It was a lot of fun that day George! Thank you!

[@JustinTimeForAdventures]

Tremendous flight plan. Loved it.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you for watching!

[@Randomentertainmentz]

Beautiful very awesome commentary. That's very interesting aerial view 😎

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Welbeck! I appreciate your kind words. 🙂

[@QSmally]

I *think* that the drone missed its landing point because your shadow moved a bit to the left when landing compared to taking off It’s a nice video, though

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you, that could be. 👍

[@ssb73q]

Hi Marcus, nice flight with the Mini 4 Pro, thanks for sharing. You really need a round landing pad for precision landings. vbg I'm waiting for a comparison of precision landings experiment video when using a square or round landing pad.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Richard! landing pad video comming! 🙂

[@LONGRANGEPRECISIONSHOOTING]

This was very enjoyable. You need to do more flights like this. This was very fun to watch

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the compliment.

[@williamlaabs]

Very relaxing flight to watch Marcus. Those were picture perfect postcard photos you got, I loved them. Wish I had something around here that looks that good. Keep up the good work.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

The water was perfect that day for those kind of shots. 👍 Thank you!

[@brendanreilly1990]

Great video Marcus. The mini 4 Pro looks like the real deal in the sub 250 game category.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

It is a great piece of tech!

[@rickseyeview5345]

Beautiful pictures of the lake! The first boat is called a trimaran, a combination of "tri" and "catamaran". Also sometimes called a double outrigger. Helps stabilize the boat in high winds.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you! Your description of that boats makes perfect sense.

[@FredHarvey-wp2qy]

Cool video! That red boat is a Hobie Kayak. It can be paddled, sailed or there is a pedal driven mechanism that can propel it. It had the optional outriggers to be sailed in a stiff wind. The reservoir is down between those hills, so strong winds don't happen often. Tell that guy to come out to Kansas! That boat would FLY! It would be like an ice boat on a frozen lake. Your post popped up on my feed and it said it was only up for 4 minutes. I hopped on over to be the first to like it and someone beat me to it. At least I get to leave the first comment.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Fred! I wondered how the little red boat was moving. I didn't see any paddles.

[@pp2trancos]

Por el segundo desfiladero debe de bajar más agua, estaba más frondoso y verde

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

There is another reservoir upstream from this one. 🙂

[@BaqPaqJaq]

Another nice location for the mini 4 pro Marcus 👍🏻

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Jackie! It's a fun place to fly a drone! 🙂

[@johnolson4127]

Do you print those shots out your self or do you have a business print them for you. ? I print my own , but I can only do up to 9 by 12. They look good in print though. Great shots, hope you sell some.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I've never had one printed John. 🤷‍♂️ They look great on my 4K monitor. 🙂

[@SimonsDroneChannel]

Great video. That is a beautiful looking place,

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you very much! It is a fun place to fly!

[@107drones]

I want one of those! 😄 Thanks for sharing, Marcus.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Next time you're in town we'll fly at Lucky Peak.

[@rubengarciajr7560]

Great loc to fly that small bird there, Marcus

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Why thank you!!

[@judithwebber2102]

My family and I will be driving up to Boise from Phx. area on June 10th thru June 18th. This trip is mainly due to your videos and I want to thank you for posting your drone flights. I am a 107 drone pilot and have been flying DJI for yrs. I have an Inspire 2 (which I want to sell), a Phantom 4 pro and a DJI Mini 4 with the extended batteries. We are going to the Red Lion in Boise and my daughter is driving down from Coeur DAlene to see us. Besides spending time with our daughter, I want to fly the Snake River from Dedication Point, the Lucky Peak Reservoir and the Lucky Peak Reservoir at Turner Gulch thanks to your videos. Do you recommend any other beautiful locations. The videos and photos should be awesome. I can't wait.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

You will have a great time Joe. My favorite flying spot is at the Snake River canyon, do not miss it. 🙂 You can also go up Bogus Basin road and get into the Boise foothills for some great flying. Enjoy!

[@judithwebber2102]

thx

[@gbower1]

Beautiful area to fly a magnificent little drone.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Gerry! I do enjoy the Mini 4!

[@chriswhite58]
