Meridian In N Out Burger Opening Day Follow Up with the DJI Air 3

This video was created on December 12th, the day of the Grand Opening of the 400th In-N-Out Burger store. The DJI Air 3 was the perfect drone to capture the aerial view of it all. It's interesting to see how they managed the traffic into the store. At one point during the day, it was an 8-hour wait to get your burger! This is a follow up from my previous video before the opening. • In-N-Out Burger comes ...

Good grief! People are crazy! Waiting in line for 8 hours for a burger? Driving 800 miles to attend the restaurant opening? Waiting outside the restaurant all night? Still, that was a great demo of the 3X camera! You could stay out of everyone's way, yet still get some up close and personal shots! Good job!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you so much Fred! Yes, I'll wait for the new to dies down before I get in line for a burger. 🙂

[@HikeFly22]

That's a lot of people. I have to say their preparation for the parking was well thought out.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I agree, the In-N-Out people are pros!

[@bobwhitewo3b]

Marcus when you finally get to go to In N Out don't forget to check on line for the secret menu so you can order items on it. The items will not be on the menu that you will be given in the restaurant. Thanks for the video.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Bob! Yep, animal style all the way! 😂

[@georgekelly1948]

I am glad you had fun with your flight as I had fun viewing your adventure. Interesting aspect of human behavior that people will flock to a grand opening and endure long wait times. I am a classic Type A personality-do it now-don’t procrastinate. But I would never enter that In-N-Out line today. Cheers and keep warm, bud.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Goerge! I might be happy to wait in a half hour line, but eight hours is a bit much! 🤣

[@SiteSpecialistsLLC]

Marcus you mentioned in the previous video that you would wait a few days. What I have found in Las Vegas is that it's not the day as much as the time. That is, here, all the In-N-Outs have long lines every day during certain parts of the day. I try to visit on the off hours. However, the staff at In-N-Out are the best fast food employees I've ever seen. Even when there are long lines, they usually move quickly. PS: If you aren't already aware, you must lookup online, their secret unpublished menu. Find things like "animal style" etc.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I have family in LV, and yes, it depends on when you visit. 👍 Thank you!

[@dwkdrones]

Another great video Marcus and a big thank you for being on our show yesterday Drone Show Live in the UK.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Dave! It was indeed my pleasure.

[@jamesfunk2889]

What a great drone. Best value for the dollar in my opinion.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Yes, I agree, the Air 3 is one of DJIs best efforts ever.

[@finnybflyin]

Hey Marcus! Thank you for enduring the winter cold to bring us along on that Air 3 recon flight. Get a nice pair of gloves! 👈🥸👉

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Ha! yeah, it was colder than I expected. 😄

[@Cozydrone]

I love when you fly the air 3 because I have one also,😊🤗

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I love that Air 3!

[@daveyskates616]

Love the vid. I am currently watching your vid of the Grand Opening In and Out and I’m currently sitting in my truck eating In and Out here in Gilbert Arizona. Thanks Marcus for the Great Vids

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Ha! Awesome! Enjoy that burger!!

[@RonaldBrown59]

It's a shame didn't offer drone delivery of the hamburgers to help cut down on the lines, LOL. That was interesting to see the grand opening. Great video Marcus, thanks for sharing. Now I need to get a hamburger, I'm starving.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

In know Ron! I've bee craving a burger since all this started. 🤣

[@jeremyboyce1537]

Nice Marcus , i really enjoyed that ! If only i had the money , i would surely by a Mavic-3 , the Camera and Zoom capability on that Bird is something else !!!!😮

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you, Jeremy! I appreciate it!

[@waypointnewengland]

You would have to pack a picnic basket to go wait in line for lunch. Imagine what the opening would have been like in summer months.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I was thinking the same. They literally have porta potties set up for people in line too.

[@gbower1]

Interesting video and sure not a place I would be anywhere near. I've been to an IN-N-OUT burger in California once and wouldn't wait in any line for a burger and shake. LOL. Kind of crazy what people will do when a new place opens.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Yeah Gerry, it's a good burger, but eight hours is a bit much. 😂

[@CadgerChristmasLightShow]

@@IdahoQuadcopterI just got my first meal there tonight, it was busy being a Saturday night but still only took about 45 mins to get in, and 20-25 mins to get the order made. It was worth the wait for me, I'll be going back maybe at a less busy time. The burgers are just unparalleled, especially for the prices

[@freeflyzone5129]

Great video as always. Must be a good burger to go through all that. I'm loving my air 3, found out that you can set the C1 or 2 button to switch between the cameras without having to stop. Works so much better.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

That's a great tip about the C1 and 2 buttons! Thank you!

[@FredHarvey-wp2qy]

Does that mean you can switch cameras without having to stop and restart a video? That would be awesome!

[@freeflyzone5129]

@@FredHarvey-wp2qy I have only tried it once. But I believe that's the case.

[@rickseyeview5345]

Nice video. But No burger is worth an eight hour wait. Crazy!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Yes, I'll wait for a shorter line too! 🙂

[@mikesahle1193]

Thank you 🙏 what a beautiful 😍 place probably cold 🥶 and I would not be surprise ☝️if they open one ☝️ more in n out soon ❤👍🎥👋Idaho ❤⭐️

Yes, they're opening more locations in Idaho. 🙂🙂

[@BlairAir]

That's it! Enough. I'm officially adding the greater Boise area to my Bucket list. Between the best selection of parks, Snake River/Snake River Canyon, Pick of the Pickleball, and the best cell phone towers and sculptures for POI, Manual Orbit joy and more. Of course I'll need to inquire about a permit to fly Lucky Peak reservoir- must fly this after a picturesque snow! Yep... it's official. I'm Boise-bound!

[@grayfox1422]

You might also try the much older and at one time, the world's tallest concrete arch dam on the same Boise River, called Arrowrock Dam. It is over 100 years old and is just a couple of miles upstream and east of Lucky Peak Dam. As one of the few Boise and Idaho natives left around here, I can suggest some neat places to check out. The last 30 years of growth has SWAMPED us in the Treasure Valley! (Ada County west through Canyon County to the Snake River which forms Oregon boundary)

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Ha! Come on John! 🤣 There's a lot to see. Take the chair lift to the top of Bogus Basin, just a half hour from downtown. 🙂

[@BIGGUY401]

Nice to see the video. 😊

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you!!

[@chriswhite58]

4x4 animal style was my go to with animal style fries.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Hey, now that's a burger!

[@fsugrad03]

Put that controller down and get in line, Marcus! 🍔🍔

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Only if my buddy DeMarco was there with me. 🙂

[@fsugrad03]

Ron, too!

[@welbeckairphotography]

Nice fly IN and fly OUT my regards. Happy holidays Sir welbeck here

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you, Welbeck! Are there some good burger restaurants in Ghana?

[@welbeckairphotography]

@@IdahoQuadcopter yeah. My prayer is when I invite you to visit Ghana one lovely holiday. Hahaha 😂😂😂. Stay blessed and safe my great friend 🙏🙏❤️

[@kpmac1]

I've never understood the fascination with In N Out. When one opened 7 years ago in our area, it was a lot like what Marcus shows here. These days, the lines are pretty short. I guess people figured out it's just a burger.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

It's a great burger, but yes at the end of the day, it's just a burger.

[@TaniaGail]

Still haven't visited this burger joint. The Air 3 is da bomb..but not literally!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Hey Tania! Jackie played your Kleiner Park video on the The Drone Show Live today.

[@TaniaGail]

Didn't see it @@IdahoQuadcopter

[@rubinhodrone9204]

É show Passando pra prestigiar aquele super Like ✌️ 👍 😉

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you very much!!

[@charlestoast4051]

Unbelievable! I reckon there were easily 150 cars, and probably as many individuals in that line. Great use of a camera drone. I hope you repeat this in a few weeks, to see if things settle down. Were they adding crack to the burgers or having some super special offer?

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

It's crazy. People are still waiting 2 or 3 hours in the drive through!

[@theone2be33]

No way in a cold frozen day in hell would I ever waste my precious time in those lines for a burger. Same thing happens at Chic Filet. No further comment

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Yep, the Chic Fil-A is just around the corner from In-N-Out.

[@gregrorabaugh564]

I live in San Diego,We have many here. I would never wait more than 10 minutes for In&Out. It is not that good! Lol.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

They're going to build two more locally. 👍

[@b.whisky9438]

I have 3 In n Out near where I live. Never a long line.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

That's good! I hope it gets that way here soon.

[@b.whisky9438]

@@IdahoQuadcopter ...I bet Chick Fil A was just like this in your neck of the woods.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

@@b.whisky9438 Yes, it sure was! 😄

[@usadroneflyer]

Made me hungry! No In & Out Burgers here... But we have 5 Guys; so I'm good! Like #98

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Darn right Capt. Joe! Five Guys is good too!

[@RecoveryoneDrone]

The In N Out urge

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I remember seeing plenty of bumper stickers modified to say that. 🤣

[@Cozydrone]

That place is packed,wow😂.I would order grub hub.i don't wait in lines,🤗

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I wonder if they allow the delivery services?

[@volestoat]

they will have drone throughs in the future

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Maybe?

[@johnnymac26]

Those burgers must be pretty good

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Ha! They really are! 🙂

[@UKBUBBLERS]

In and out, lol in and you're never getting out 😂 8 hour wait Where's the nearest McDonald's 😂

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Ha! Yes, there are three McDs within a mile of the In-N-Out.

[@jimanderson4865]

Hi Marcus.....8 hours to wait in line. No thanks....I'd have to wait for the honeymoon to get over before I attempted to go there.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Yeah, but it's a great burger Jim!! 😎

[@RDsRCReviews]

Crazy how much long people will wait to eat a burger lol

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

True Ryan! At one point the line was eight hours!

[@RDsRCReviews]

@@IdahoQuadcopter that's laughable

[@victorwisc]

Sorry, but anyone who waits 8 hours in line for fast food needs to have their heads examined. Fun drone footage though to see what they went through to accommodate the head cases. :)

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Their logistics department was quite well organized. 😄

[@robertallen6710]

Unless they were offering free eats...why?!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Because it's good! 🤣

[@Cozydrone]

If a McDonald's opened up there,they would have to give away weed to see those crowds,😁👍

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Yes, in the Happy Meal.

[@ron3815]

Sorry but Red Robin, Five guys or Texas Roadhouse can give you a great burger in a fraction of the time. People willing to wait hours for a hamburger are off their rocker.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Yeah, Red Robin makes an awesome burger.

[@joeamericauavfordav1096]

In-N-Out burger came to Houston a while back but not to that kind of fan fair. THey ae good but they are still not as good as WhatABurger. LOL

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I tried WhatABurger when I was in Austin. It was good.

[@hikinganddrone]

LOL, WHat’s the big deal with burgers? I’m not too crazy about their burger….

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Some folks are though. 🤷‍♂

[@hikinganddrone]

Yaph! Go figure number one mortality…. CVD

[@IDAHOJAKE]

It’s good but not worth waiting all day. Literally. It’s more of the cult following . And all the Californians happy to feel more at home. Happy we have one now. Animal style ;)

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I've had it many times while in Cali or Nevada, even the last time I was in Texas, it is good. I'm glad we have one at home now.

[@IDAHOJAKE]

Oh double double animal style and animal style 🍟 fries. So good. But not waiting hours. Let’s wait untill the hysteria slows down

[@skyhawk21]

That’s crazy for a cheap burger… second don’t narrate video so much, too much talking…
