DJI Mini 3 at the Snake River Canyon with Special Guest Ted Bohlman

[@daveyskates616]

Man that shot you got of Teds Mav3 was slick!! And the Snake River view never gets old. Always a beautiful view

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Ha! Thank you! I was in the right place at the right time to catch Ted's landing. 😀

[@jesusgjchuza6491]

Wooow, spectacular the view is incredible 🤝😎

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Jesus, it's a great place to fly!

[@LewisVance-p6e]

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

You can count on it. I'll get back out to the Snake River soon!

[@GrzegorzBaszczak]

Super kanał :).. Greetings from Poland :)

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you for watching!

[@ssb73q]

Hi Marcus, nice flight with the Mini 3. Long flight time junkies like me love flying the Mini 3 with the Plus batteries. BTW, seems Ted knows what shape a landing pad should be. vbg

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Ha! 🙂 Ted forgot his pad so that was my extra that I keep in the car. 🙂 Thank you for stopping by Richard!

[@henrikrosenhanssen2185]

Greetings from Denmark. I just bought a DJI mini 3 and I've already learned a lot from watching your videos. Thanks for sharing.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you, I'm glad you found the video helpful. 😀

[@georgekelly1948]

Two buddies out on a sunny day. Fun day and flight, Marcus.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you George! We had a great day!

[@DroneSeekersInternational]

On my bucket list to fly there one day Marcus, it looks so beautiful.Well done on another great, informative video.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Come on out Steve!!! It's a great spot to fly!!

[@DroneSeekersInternational]

One day Marcus..one day!@@IdahoQuadcopter

[@fishingandflyingwithtolley459]

I always enjoy the view from the canyon, thank you for sharing this beautiful place Marcus

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

It is absolutely my pleasure! Thank you!

[@fsugrad03]

Two great guys flying great drones on a great day! Good to see you two enjoying yourselves. Hey Dr @Ted Bohlman

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I wish you were with us DeMarco! It was great fun!

[@johnk7649]

Hi Marcus! Looked like an excellent day to fly with the good Doctor! Thanks for sharing.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

It was a near perfect day John! 🙂

[@shotgun4257]

Such a cool drone, unless you are pro photographer, I don’t believe there is any reason to have to upgrade to the mini 3 Pro. Love it!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I agree! The little Mini 3 is a very capable drone. 👍

[@sgtroc4699]

Love your Snake River videos! This one was so awesome. Great scenery. Thanks for sharing Marcus.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you so much sarge! It was a great day to be flying!

[@GaryDarling]

Thanks Marcus, I always love to see these canyon videos!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Gary I'm glad you like them!

[@eranzg7348]

Amazing Marcus 👌🏼 Thank you 👍🏼

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you very much!

[@RonaldBrown59]

Great to see you Dr. Ted out at the canyon on another wonderful Drone adventure. And you got some beautiful footage out there with the budget priced DJI Mini 3. Thanks for sharing Marcus.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

We really had a great time Ron!

[@TedNemeth]

Markus this was a trip. Man that is some beautiful dramatic landscape. Truly needs a flying camera to document it properly. Thanks for sharing brother. Maybe we’ll join forces when I visit the PNW.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Darn right Ted! I sure you would produce an amazing video from a flight at the canyon! Thank you for watching!

[@JoseArrom]

Your video proves that the Minis 2,3 will do great photography, perfect flying conditions and perfect location. Flying down is more awesome than climbing.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you, I agree, you don't need to spend an arm and a leg to capture great aerial video.

[@thomashardy9994]

I really like the winter light out there.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

It was sure a nice blue sky day! 🙂

[@tonygee3284]

Hi Marcus enjoy all your videos. I was keen to buy the Air 3 Until your video proved how capable that mini 4 pro is Bought a mini 4 pro two weeks ago due to your cool videos on flying the mini 4 pro up the snake river canyon What a great place to fly Its a great drone Thanks

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Congratulations on the new Mini 4 Pro! It's the best Mini drone there is!

[@joeamericauavfordav1096]

Marcus, The canyon never disappoints. One thing I have wondered since watching you fly there. Does the Snake River Canyon have any good caves ? Have not seen any on the videos. Thanks for sharing

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I've seen some small ones, just enough for birds to nest etc. Thank you!

[@GetOutTheHouseGoFish]

That would be a great place to fly the AVATA

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I agree!!

[@livingforgood]

Wow, Marcus this is great footage, one thing I love about your videos is the innocent exploration of the surroundings. This drone provides amazing clear video. Very nice

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

One of the best things about flying drones is exploring! Thank you!

[@CaptureLifeConnection]

Such a cool vlog. Packed with amazing images of snake river canyon, drone info and local information. You have great things going bro. All the best to you and your family ✌️😎.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you so much Stevy! I love this hobby!

[@Randomentertainmentz]

Wao nice and smooth on the canyon cool spot. Stay blessed and safe all the time Amen 🙏🙏👍. My regards to the family and fly for fun members.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Welbeck! Ted and I had a great time that day!

[@Randomentertainmentz]

@@IdahoQuadcopter hi sir I forget to ask you this. What's NISTY mode in mini 4 pro? Can you please explain one of these days in your videos to educate some of your subscribers who intend to learn more from you? I was reading about mini 4 pro and I came across this. Thanks so much ❤️❤️🙏🙏👍 I salute you Sir.

[@buffalolizard]

Ted, I just bought the dji mini 3. Amazing how the drone comes with no flight instructions but fortunately I found your tutorial which I found excellent! That got us up and running. Keep it up!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

You will really enjoy that Mini 3! It's a great drone!

[@buffalolizard]

Thank you, twice!

[@marcustrawick3574]

The view is nice would love to fly there

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

It is a fun place to fly!

[@williamlaabs]

Hi Marcus. Great flight with the trusty mini 3. At 7:02, center frame, there looked like a broken down building was there that would be interesting to take a close look at. The same thing at 7:13, slightly right of center at the bottom of the screen. I saw it when you were raising the camera up and wondered what it was. Maybe on your next snake river run, youo can get a close up of it to see exactly what it is/was. Great work and keep the videos coming. BTW, hello to Ted Bohlman.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you William! Dr. B and I had a really great time at the canyon that day.

[@DroneViewsMedia]

Looks like you and Dr. Ted had a great time at the Canyon 👍

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

We did Alan! It was a lot of fun!

[@jimanderson4865]

Hi Marcus. Another great day out at the canyon. I want to make it back there again sometime. Had the Mavic 3 out 2 days in a row. Went through 2 batteries each trip which is all I have for it. Then I had another first. Had to get LAANC approval for Class D space. Went pretty smooth...........👍

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Jim! Yes, LAANC approval is quite easy really. 👍

[@mahmuterdemir9781]

Very nice🎉

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Many many thanks!

[@HikeFly22]

Very nice flight.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you very much!

[@chriswhite58]

Great video

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thanks for the visit Chris!

[@JohnnieDroneFlyer]

Nice Flight With Dr. B , Some Great Views

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

We really had fun that day Mr. Johnnie!

[@SzaryWilk-photo1967]

A wonderful area, great flights with beautiful views. Warm regards.🖐

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Yes, thank you for stopping by.

[@SW-Video]

You got pretty close to those bikers before they noticed/heard the drone in the air. That's my favorite thing about the Mini 3/4.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Yeah, I like that they gave us a wave and a smile. 👍

[@Patrick_Arrington]

For your next flight, I’d request the mini 2 at lucky peak.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I've flown the Mini 2 at Lucky Peak many times. It did great! Thank you!

[@gbower1]

Good flight Marcus and good to see Ted out there flying too. The mini sure handles itself great. I'm in full Mini mode these days as I just picked up the Mini 4 Pro a couple of days ago and flew it today and boy is it ever a great little drone. I have the Mini 3 Pro and Mini 2 also. I'll fly the Air 2s when chasing some boats this winter in Florida but the Mini 4 Pro might also do a good job at it.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Congratulations Gerry! You will really love that Mini 4 Pro!!

[@RejeanDrouin]

très beau vidéo as tu une caméra 360 insta pour te filmer merci tu es très bon bravo

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I have an insta 360 Go 2 and enjoy using it. Thank you.

[@RejeanDrouin]

Tu demeure à quel endroit le jeune

[@jamesfunk2889]

The video looks nice on my 32 inch monitor. Have you heard back from DJI yet on the damaged Air 3 drone?

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you James. I'll have news on that Air 3 soon.

[@123windyron]

Whats on the other side of the upper part of the canyon?nice vid

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Mostly hay fields on that side. 👍

[@JESSEPAVON]

Beautiful video and place. So quick question. I have a dji mini 4 pro. I know i can fly higher than 400 feet. What about not being able to see the drone?

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you. The canyon is a wonderful place to fly!

[@judithwebber2102]

A friend of mine and myself are going to the Snake River to fly our mini 4 and Mavic 3 pro. We are thinking about going at the end of May beginning of June 2024. 24:43 Is that a good weather time for the Snake River. I watch alot of your videos and I know you enjoy flying there. What part of the Snake River do you start at/ park your vehicle etc.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Yes, your timeframe is great! On Google maps search for Dedication Point. I often fly from there. You'll have a great time!

[@shotgun4257]

Also the mini 3 has some obstacle avoidance doesn’t it? I thought that was what those two eyes up front were for? Or is that only on the Pro?

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

No, the Mini 3 only has downward sensors. The Mini 3 Pro has front facing OA though.

[@shotgun4257]

@@IdahoQuadcopter Good to know, thank you!!

[@kenturpin584]

Marcus Why do you use meters instead of imperial ?

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I like the metric system. 👍

[@kenturpin584]

I like your videos I hope someday I can come up and fly my drones on the snake river

[@stillightdrones]

Does Ted have a youtube channel? Id like to see his footage from the M3

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Yes, Ted has a great channel: www.youtube.com/@tedbohlman2953 👍

[@stillightdrones]

​@@IdahoQuadcopter thanks I'll take a look

[@WestVirginiasBigred271]

The mini 3 is one of the best drones for flight time. I use the intelligent battery plus and I get 45-46 minutes of flight time with the mini 3 standard. I can use the exact same battery with the mini 3 pro and get about 36 minutes. 10 minutes longer with the mini 3 standard. I guess those obstacle avoidance sensors really use the extra power. Today I used active tracking for the first time on my mini 4 pro. Unfortunately it crashed. But luckily it only damaged a couple propellers. Which I replaced immediately after getting home. I’m am uploading the video now to my channel. I have tested both mini 4 pro and Air 3 in the last week or so and I have came to the conclusion that DJI desperately needs to send out a firmware update. Thus far I am not impressed with the new obstacle avoidance with the mini 4 pro and air 3. But that’s pretty typical for newer Models with DJI sometimes it takes a while to get all the bugs out with firmware updates. Any updates on your Air 3? I am assuming by now you have sent it back to DJI and are awaiting for the replacement.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Sorry to hear about your Mini 4! I'll post an update on the Air 3 soon!

[@chefb1461]

All right, great video Marcus looks like you got a good partner let’s get that bird in the air

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

We had a ton of fun Robert!

[@LethalMercury]

Good day sir! New subscriber and new drone owner here! So new in fact that I have not picked it up from Best Buy yet! I ordered the DJI Mini 2 SE, but am curious if the Mini 3 is worth the extra $140.00. I see that both offer 30 minutes of flight time, and neither offer collision avoidance. Is the only difference is that the mini 3 offers 4k recording? Please guide me in the right direction, I’m not planning on using for anything professional. I can swap out my purchase if I can be convinced it’s a better deal. Edit: if this Mini 3 has the active tracking, I’m sold!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you! The Mini 3 Pro has ActiveTrack, the Mini 3 does not. The Mini 3 is far superior to the Mini 2 SE, and if you can afford it buy it. 👍

[@LethalMercury]

@@IdahoQuadcopter That is exactly what I did! I saw in another video that I can get larger batteries that take the flight time to 51 minutes. I cancelled the 2 SE order and ordered the Mini 3.

[@life4ers]

For a minute there I thought it was Kent…

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

No that's Ted Bohlman. 👍

[@finnybflyin]

It's not how big the drone is, it's the motion of the... I mean, it's not how technological the drone is. It's the AWESOME FOOTAGE you get from where you're FLYING that matters! Thank you Marcus! 🪱 👈🥸👉👈🥸👉

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I agree, that is an awesome spot to fly at! 🙂 Thank you!
