Great flying and great video. That shot at 9:20 was epic. I live six miles away. I'm so glad that Red Rock (it's singular) is drone friendly. In the years that I've been flying there, the only time that a Ranger ever approached me about my drone was because he wanted to know more about it. He told me that the Rangers would love to be equipped with drones for SAR purposes. As far as the geology, the Red Rock Visitor Center has some tremendous exhibits that explain it very well. They also have a lot of information about the plants, the wildlife, and the history of the area. It's for good reason that the Red Rock National Conservation Area is the most visited NCA in the country, with more than 3.5 million visitors per year. It's also a mecca for rock climbing, rappelling, and bouldering. One caution for drone pilots: Keep your head on a swivel. There are constant tour helicopters there, and many fly below 400 feet to give their passengers a thrill. I've also seen some cowboy pilots in small planes flying below 400 feet a few times. And above all, watch out for helicopters doing Search and Rescue work.
Greetings my friend Marcus 👋🙂. Wow love those Red rocks and those amazing rock formations 💯👍😁. Absolutely beautiful and breathtaking. A fantastic flight. Thank you so very much Marcus 👋 My friend for sharing this wonderful video and God bless you and your family always 🙏. Have a great week.
The relevant rules under Part 107 are summarized within Section 107.51. This section is entitled “Operating limitations for small unmanned aircraft” and contains a set of limits associated with speed, altitude, and visibility. Pertaining to altitude, item B of the Section states that: “The altitude of the small unmanned aircraft cannot be higher than 400 feet above ground level unless the small unmanned aircraft is (1) flown within a 400-foot radius of a structure, and (2) does not fly higher than 400 feet above the structure’s immediate uppermost limit.”
You always have to keep an eye out for rescue helicopters out there. There are cool geoglyphs out in that Valley. My "Searching " vid shows one of the ancient ones.
Beautiful flight Marcus thru the Red Rocks. The camera's that DJI use in the Air 3 S, and the one used in my mini 4 pro. do an amazing job to give us great photographic views. Always enjoy your flights, you always have something to share with us.
Just out there on Halloween and flew the Mini 4 Pro in the same parking lot!!. Had a Sightseeing helicopter buzz me while I was there and had to lower the drone till it made its pass.
Red Rocks was so cool. I got a good parallax shot that was very cool. Although it was 102 that morning and I couldn't fly long but it was fun. The camera on that drone is incredible. If I hadn't just got the Mini 4 Pro the Air 3S would be mine. Very nice shots my friend.
To be astute, Marcus...The mountains in the Red Rock region are: Spring, Rainbow, La Madre, White, Harris Griffith, Indecision, Panamint, Sheep, and Gass. (I'm leaving the last one alone)
Love your videos. Just wondering if in one of your future videos, you might discuss the 400 ft flight limit for recreational drones. I have been under the impression that the 400 ft is AGL not 400 ft above the takeoff area. Please comment.
Hi Marcus, a very nice video showing the red rocks, thanks for sharing. Is this your first flight not using the metric system? It's about time you adopted the imperial system. vbg
If you are a 107 pilot, you should be able to fly above the 400 foot limit to go over the red mountains. If you are within 400 foot vertical distance from the mountain, you can fly up to 400 foot above the mountain. I’m assuming you are in class G airspace.

All excellent information! Thank you!
Great flight and great seeing the professional pilots in action
It was fun to fly with other professional drone pilots! We missed you at the meetup Eddie! 🙂

A fantastic flight. Thank you so very much Marcus 👋 My friend for sharing this wonderful video and God bless you and your family always 🙏.
Have a great week.
Thank you for the kind words Shane, I am glad you liked the video!
Awesome flight, Marcus. One of your best. Beautiful area to fly for sure.
Thank you very much Capt. Ray!
I was hopping you would do a good flight. I will show this to the wife on her big screen TV. Thanks for sharing your talent.
It is my pleasure John! Thank you my friend!
Those rocks would look absolutely amazing around sunset or sunrise. those shadow would really accent things.
Oh I see, you're one of those golden hour fliers huh? 😂 Thank you Lauren!
@ 😂😂😂
Hi
Great weather
wow what a flight
Thanks
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
It's was recorded 4K 60 FPS!! The higher FPS makes for such smooth video. Looks great Marcus.
Yes, it was 4K 60 fps.
Since the max altitude is 400 AGL, can't you fly over the top of the rock formations? That would be the ground level of the drone. Love the videos!
Thank you! You are correct, the rule is 400 ft AGL. 👍

Super flight Marcus. The 3s has a great camera. When I hit the lottery I'll get one for sure.... LOL. Thanks for sharing that incredible area with us.
Thank you Steve, I'm glad you enjoyed the flight!

I'm sure there are plenty of tour helicopters too. 👍
@IdahoQuadcopter yeah, but they are always high enough that it isn't a problem.
Excellent work
Thank you! Cheers!
your scenic videos never cease to amaze me.... looking forward to the follow ups...thank you....I have got to get me a DJI drone.
Thank you! I have fun putting these videos together.
Great clips.
Thank you for watching!

I'm glad you enjoyed it Tom! It was a lot of fun flying that day!
Awesome flight
Thank you so much!
Stunning views of these red rocks there Marcus.
Thanks for sharing with us.
Thank you so much!
Just out there on Halloween and flew the Mini 4 Pro in the same parking lot!!. Had a Sightseeing helicopter buzz me while I was there and had to lower the drone till it made its pass.
Yes, I saw several aircraft while flying there. Fortunately they were all up over 1000 ft.
Red Rocks was so cool. I got a good parallax shot that was very cool. Although it was 102 that morning and I couldn't fly long but it was fun. The camera on that drone is incredible. If I hadn't just got the Mini 4 Pro the Air 3S would be mine. Very nice shots my friend.
Thank you Patrick! It was in the 60s that day! 🙂
Hi Marcus, what for are rocks. Nice fly 👌👍🍻
Many greetings, yours Peter 🙋
Thank you Peter! 🙂

Ha! Nice Barkley. I'm looking forward to benefiting from you knowledge while in the Caribbean. 😄

Wish we had places as nice as this in the UK Marcus!
We really had fun that day! 🙂
cool stuff , love the vid. How was the flight really ,sound a little unsure there, lol
It was a lot of fun and a great flight. 👍
Hi Marcus, a very nice video showing the red rocks, thanks for sharing. Is this your first flight not using the metric system? It's about time you adopted the imperial system. vbg
Hey Marcus! 👈🥸🫴 Yes you can fly 400ft above the rocks.FAA Rules. Cheers, Brendan
Looks like evidence of a great flood. Thanks for the video I haven't seen that area before. GOD Bless You Brother
Absolutely it does
And is 😊
@@tcgreen11 GOD Bless You
Thank you for watching!
Man I wish I could join you all one time with the Autel Evo Lite Plus drone. I'm in Tampa FL. We don't have all this 😢😢😢.
Florida has some wonderful places to fly. 👍
@IdahoQuadcopter yes we do i have plenty of footage to prove it. But we don't have mountains lmao
Que piedras más tímidas si las miras se ponen coloradas 🤭🤭🤭
Red Sea also has history black sea dead sea , red rocks may also have ?
Thank you for watching!
Actually 4K 60 FPS 😁
Thank you. 👍

Yes, 400 feet AGL is correct.
Can't you go over 400 as long as its above the ridge? Or the ground below the drone?
You are correct, the rule is 400 ft AGL. 👍
You can go higher then 400ft with your drones without breaking the rules!
Yeah Bernie, I know. 😄
@IdahoQuadcopter I was reading a bunch of the comments and lots of people were questioning that. Nice video btw!
Is it normal video mode?
As normal as I could get it.
