Ken, I recently purchased a Mavic 2 zoom and love it. I have searched the internet high and low and have read and watched a lot of Utube videos. Ken, you bring the highest level of enjoyment of ANY drone video I have watched. You are truly funny and obviously drone smart. Please keep up the kentastic work and keep those videos coming. Thank you,
Johnny converted a Phantom 4 holder to use on the Evo . I use the Parrot Anafi table holder from Amazon . Both work pretty good except the Anafi holder clicks onto the the controller . Works great for the Anafi and I flip mine upside down so there's not so much top end weight on the Evo controller . Hope this helps !
If you have a part 107, and have LANCC permission or you are in class g airspace at an uncontrolled airport then there is no issue if your flying and not interfering with the air traffic. I would be aware of all the airport procedures and know where the traffic patters are.
Exactly right. Get your part 107 and know the rules. Knowing is the best defense. I am also an Instrument pilot and i assure you the regs are there to keep us all safe. Are they perfect? Of course not but you have to start somewhere.
"Note to viewers....NOT ME DOIN' IT!!!!" I actually laughed out loud on that one! I can feel your anxiety in this video. Love your videos Ken!!!! Next time in Illinois, if ever near Springfield, please send me a message, I'll bring my P4Pv2 and XPhase Pro 360 camera!!!!
"I dont want to go to prison I cant play the harmonica"😂😂 ps the best feeling in the world is being kissed on the forehead while you are sleeping.......unless you are in prison😂😂😂 pps...I think that was a screen shot of my internet in South Africa.☹another great video Ken.
Brilliant video Ken. That river was sure wild! I'd have been shaking lol. With the airport police that's the way to be with folks - polite. Always saying to folks its attitudes and respect. Great footage over the Cessna etc. You definitely had fun in your hotel room ha ha , except for the fridge of course. Awesome, love it Ken. Cheers buddy. If you ever come to the UK near Manchester we'll hang out and fly. Cheers again buddy:)
FYI: as an EVO owner, it's easier to hand land it if you place your hand under it and let the sensors think it's the ground, then it will set down gentle as a dove in the palm of your hand!
Precisely thinking the same . Especially when the motors whrilled away classic result of Drone thinking its going to crash . Perhaps Ken isn't familiar with the term palm land **
St. Charles is one of the nicest and beautiful cities in Lake County. Far enough away from the Chicago nonsense but close enough to drive there for a day or evening of fun. There’s a great Art Store that we loved and they showcased one of our favorite Artists named Harry Hargrove. We have his painting all over the house and no more room for the ones in our closet. Also have a yearly Hamfest there. Won the 500.00 Grand Prize first year I went. So I bought a new radio, Ham OP’s win always need another radio. LeAn wasn’t happy at all when I came home until I grinned and handed the cash prize to here and said happy Valentine’s Day. I had been saving for 2 months to buy my radio. All ended well, lol. Good video Ken. I always love seeing the things I know back home, makes me miss it a lot sometimes.
So did part 107 loosen the refs for flight around manned aircraft as we no longer have to land immediately per 107.37)a$ & (b). I understand this vid is 3 years old so I’m wondering as I prep for my 107.
New drone pilot here. Trust certified as a recreational pilot/ Out in the middle of some very rough terrain and get a alert a plane is coming. I could not fly out of its path and only 200 feet at the time in a valley. I just dropped down to about 10 feet off the cliff side as the terrain was not level to land. I also could not see the drone and had to trust the sensors and camera. I do appreciate the notice but did not see any mention of landing to give way. Good to know.
Beautiful shots over the river. Smooth mediation with the cop instead of arguing. And no, I wouldn’t have flown by the planes, either. First thing I do is unplug the noisy fridge! You’re lucky if you didn’t hear neighbors or slamming doors lol. Thanks again!
I know the St. Charles area well I did a comedy guest set at the Laugh Factory in Aurora which is south of St. Charles. My parents grew up in Aurora. Wow they must of had a big rain storm the Fox river looked very high. Great video Ken!
Had a hotel room once on the first floor. Laying in bed heard what I thought was a motorcycle running outside my window. Ignored it for a while then I starting think WTF is this guy idling his loud motorcycle so long. Looked out the window to see a garden and realized it was my airconditioner running. That was a restful night...
I live in Anderson SC, and the only FRIA in Anderson is at the Anderson Regional Airport. I couldn't believe it when I looked it up on the map. So you don't even need permission from LAANC to fly there. GO FIGURE! Granted, the FRIA area is between runways, but the absolute ridiculous thing is that planes take off from the runways and then fly over the FRIA under 400 feet. And this happens with drones and RC planes in the air. I asked one of the guys that flies RC planes there regularly, and he said, "yeah, those pilots know they are not supposed to fly over the FRIA, but they do anyway. We just try to stay out of thier way." AGAIN, GO FIGURE!

Wifi is pretty much the same everywhere, but there might be more signals in certain areas. Make sure to calibrate your compass and IMU after you get where you're going.
17th!! What do I win??????? I hope it's a rainbow. Excellent video, Ken.. As someone who used to live in hotels for work, I got really good at just unplugging everything.
Ken.... I work in the building right behind you. Been watching for awhile, so a bit starstruck coming across this video. Will you be coming back to St. Charles?... would love to buy you a beer.
Ken, I' m glad to see you got to do more flying when you were here than I thought, weather just did not want us to fly.. Great video...was lots of fun... As for those who question the flying by a "small private air port,"Here are the Facts.. the manager was asked and he also got (LAANC AUTHORIZATION) the gentleman who questioned us did not get that information to them, after they were informed of this they left us alone,, and in air map There was no restrictions. We checked many times. If there had been "no authorization", this would have never happened as we and George are professional licensed Pilots.
@Drone Flyer 400 Hello, Just to clear this up, I did not nor did Ken fly our drones there as we did not, or tried to get the authorization at that location that the other gentleman did. He contact the person in charge of that airfield and then verified on Air map and others that it would be okay. From there it allowed him to summit a request to LAANC and it was approved. There was no real plan to fly there, just wanted to see if it would allow it, even DJI Go allowed it. He never went anywhere near the air strip as he was asked not to nor would he. He only went by the parked planes near their shelter and then right back and landed. This is being made worse then it was. I wish that I could answer or understand why this was able to happen , but we just wanted to show it that it is possible with the correct authorizations.
@@christopherw568 Thanks Chris. Before you showed up we called the airport manager and the tower controlling the airfield in Dupage. Dupage answered and the only thing they said was that one flight was leaving and we waited for it to go by prior to flying. 1800wxbrief.com does not show any approvals needed other than the calls we did. Wish people would realize that the videos are edited and the timeframes are not what they seem. Oh well it was great to meet Ken and all of you there. We should find some other areas to fly now that the trees are turning colors.
Pushing at places like this were it makes sense to avoid is what gets more blanket restrictions and drones a bad name. This video is prolly making the rounds of airports everywhere and some police and even the FAA with a "see what these idiots are doing! We need more rules and regs to prevent this!" And btw, send the Fridge part of the vid to their corporate hq and get comped for that nasty ho-ho-hotel room....
No lines were crossed. Completely legit flight. I wouldn't do it just because it would upset airport personnel, but it was a legal flight. 👍 The fridge on the other hand...
So funny, there’s no way I would fly near an airport like that. I recently flew over a castle where a popular TV show is going to be filmed, flew for approximately 10 minutes, landed, putting away in the boot and 2 bodyguards zoomed up in their BMW & told me to delete the footage, I thought I did, but hadn’t! I will respect their privacy and keep it to myself, keep up the good work Ken, 🤘
That refrigerator would drive me nuts too. But you really should get a room with two beds next time so you can have double the fun of jumping up and down the beds. 😊
Awesome video. have any videos to help a new mavic 2 user to get better cinematography? I tried your pinching method today and it helped a little but still not perfect
One of Ken’s videos mentioned these knobs. I have Been watching Ken’s videos for about 2 years. Finally purchased a phantom 4 pro about a year ago. Still flying maybe someday I will finally send Ken a video for grading. Maybe he will find the west coast one day.
You were lucky to run into Johnny. He articulated himself well, was a fan and complimentary. Plus he had a new Autel. I'm sure he also had a cool vehicle being performance tuned at the same shop. Nice guy. I thought it was funny how he and I have the same stance when flying drones. I have a photo of myself flying my drone and I have the same sideways leaning stance that he did. I don't know why I do it and am not even cognizant of it...weird. 😂
Ken, one more topic of conversation as I'm thinking to myself. I know your getting into FPV (as I'm looking into as well). With FAA Registrations currently being; "If it weighs more than 0.55 lbs. (250 grams) and less than 55 lbs. (25 kg), it must be registered. With FPV a person can literally be swapping out parts all the time; frames, props, etc. I don't run in FPV circles but wondering how that's being handled. It's not like a Mavic 2 or Inspire....swapping out parts means labels and registration numbers could e all over the place with an FPV enthusiast. Most FPV drones have a take-off weight of 250grams or more by the time you put the batteries and cameras on them......yeah, another can of worms I'm opening I'm sure.
You know when your a kid and there was the one kid willing to do something like eat a worm to appear "cool" or something? This guy flying his drone next to an airport gave me that vibe, and Ken was playing the part of the kids encouraging him to do the dumb thing. I was a little disappointed. The most deadly time for a plane is during take off and landing. I realize the drone was not actually in the flight path of the runway but it just seems disrespectful and is the type of thing that gives drones a bad name. I personally am not 107 certified and I do break the rules, but this was over the line for me. Any risk you took wasn't with your lives it was with some one else's. This was actually worse now that I've thought about it. It was more like the kid who spits in someone else's food in order to be cool.
My drone at my house tells me I can fly just so high at my house because I am in the flight path of most planes landing in Bakersfield, CA. How ever if I move further down the block it warns me with a different warnning nd asks me to accept full respnsibilty.
Ken, love your videos. But, a small suggestion: Cut the volume on the music portions to about 50% of the voice volume. A little background music is nice, but after a bit it gets annoying and I find myself turning volume down. I find many YTers are now reducing the music volume where they alternate narrated sections with non-talking portions of video. Thanks.
Ken what the hell your friend did! He.flew ovee the aircrafts... Great video except that time he flew over the aircrafts.... I've been ther in Chicago in 2017, what an amazing city!
Flying over the aircraft he did was like flying over parked busses at a greyhound station. The only thing I suggest people do when flying in areas of concern is spend 10 bucks or so on insurance for the time you fly there.
Hey Ken we were coming home from Florida fall break last Friday and there was so many wrecks on 65 and 40 west that google map re routed us thru Camden and Paris, when I saw the sign that said Huntington I thought of you 👍
@@KenHeron Had that thought in re my new Mini 2 -- which I got per your reco -- and am very happy with so far. Just want to make sure I'm taking the best care of it I can. Thanks for the tip.
Just curious that airport is class golf or class Echo. I've had some similar experiences around here and also had some people think that they couldn't hire me for work because it happened to be near an airport. When I asked them, why did they think I couldn't fly near an airport their answer was because that's what the airport told them. I'm sure their people in charge of the class golf airport know that they don't own airspace but they seem to want to own it so they spread the false narrative that they do own it :-( As far as I know you don't need to land if you see an airplane. I believe the rule is that you need to yield to manned aircraft which of course you can't do if it's not pretty close to you. An aircraft that's miles away doesn't necessitate uas Landing. I thought you were flying an EVO but then you mentioned the DJI app letting you fly so I guess you must have switch to a different aircraft?
Earlier that day he flew the Evo,, after that he did not fly at the small airfield we were at, the gentleman who did was flying a mavic Pro 2. As far as flying near any airfield, you need to make sure you have all the authorizations you can get, Even if there is no LAANC ,, call the air field and speak with someone in charge and let them know that you are hired for a job where you will be and how long and how high and a number to reach you at for any issues. Hope that helps.
please check 1800wxbrief.com and they will give you the controlling tower phone number. you can call and speak to whomever answers. that is actually legal when you are not sure and are within 5 miles of the airport. You would need to make sure that you are not it the flight path which this video was not. Also I hope people know that this video was edited and the flights were legal.
Ken, I recently purchased a Mavic 2 zoom and love it. I have searched the internet high and low and have read and watched a lot of Utube videos.

With FPV a person can literally be swapping out parts all the time; frames, props, etc. I don't run in FPV circles but wondering how that's being handled. It's not like a Mavic 2 or Inspire....swapping out parts means labels and registration numbers could e all over the place with an FPV enthusiast. Most FPV drones have a take-off weight of 250grams or more by the time you put the batteries and cameras on them......yeah, another can of worms I'm opening I'm sure.
Ken... You are a hilarious guy, the best part of a hotel room.... Omg.... Hilarious. Love love love the beautiful shots of the river. Ty for sharing.
Glad you liked it Shawn!
😎
That rug really tied the room together.
That's kinda cool....I ate in that restaurant once, walked across that bridge and took a leak by the police station....cool.
Ken you rebel! 😯😊😁👍😎
You know when your a kid and there was the one kid willing to do something like eat a worm to appear "cool" or something? This guy flying his drone next to an airport gave me that vibe, and Ken was playing the part of the kids encouraging him to do the dumb thing. I was a little disappointed. The most deadly time for a plane is during take off and landing. I realize the drone was not actually in the flight path of the runway but it just seems disrespectful and is the type of thing that gives drones a bad name. I personally am not 107 certified and I do break the rules, but this was over the line for me. Any risk you took wasn't with your lives it was with some one else's. This was actually worse now that I've thought about it. It was more like the kid who spits in someone else's food in order to be cool.
DANGER DAM! lol New shirt idea?
My drone at my house tells me I can fly just so high at my house because I am in the flight path of most planes landing in Bakersfield, CA. How ever if I move further down the block it warns me with a different warnning nd asks me to accept full respnsibilty.
Hi Ken.
I guess you need to get Danna back to right the jokes!
Be-bop ba loo la, she's my baby!
Love the double rainbow, I remember that viral clip 😀
Lol your WiFi was still faster than my rural DSL.
holly balls that refrigerators loud!!!!! Lmao
Super loud!
Ken,
I've got shares in that hotel group:) LOL that was very funny
Somebody got a GoPro hero 7
I know the rules and laws, but one question? Why? This can't turn out good in hindsight😔
There's a fine line between comedic genius and insanity. I think Ken plays jump rope with that line.
🤓👍
That looks fun but a little bit scary.
I'm in the dictionary under BALD.
And your WORKING IT no doubt!
@@KenHeron We work with what we got!
The fridge it self is your white noise lol
Ken "The Rogue" Heron at it again! 👍😎🇺🇸
7:50 - Proof that "legal" and "good idea" aren't interchangeable terms ...
Ken, love your videos. But, a small suggestion: Cut the volume on the music portions to about 50% of the voice volume. A little background music is nice, but after a bit it gets annoying and I find myself turning volume down. I find many YTers are now reducing the music volume where they alternate narrated sections with non-talking portions of video. Thanks.
how do you like the EVO. I gots me one and I love it.
It seemed pretty capable!
There was no going under that bridge, was there? OMG Tempting fate there for sure.
I'm very close to stcharles too 👍😎 great video Ken!!!
@Ken Heron: Do you know why your fridge hums?
Because it doesn't know the words!
HAHAHAAA!!😁😁
Ken what the hell your friend did! He.flew ovee the aircrafts...
Great video except that time he flew over the aircrafts....
I've been ther in Chicago in 2017, what an amazing city!
Yes, Chicago is a very beautiful place! (Flight was 100-percent legal, BTW.)
Flying over the aircraft he did was like flying over parked busses at a greyhound station.
The only thing I suggest people do when flying in areas of concern is spend 10 bucks or so on insurance for the time you fly there.
Ohh geeze I can't sleep with a loud frigid like that that's horrible lol
Hey Ken we were coming home from Florida fall break last Friday and there was so many wrecks on 65 and 40 west that google map re routed us thru Camden and Paris, when I saw the sign that said Huntington I thought of you 👍
Cool, that's my little town!🤓
I was sure Ken would break out his FPV drone and fly it under the bridge. Had to be three or four feet clearance!
No chance!!
Wait, turning it can hurt the motors?
No, but it can cause stress on the plastic.
@@KenHeron Had that thought in re my new Mini 2 -- which I got per your reco -- and am very happy with so far. Just want to make sure I'm taking the best care of it I can. Thanks for the tip.
little "shart" of the week "evo ventually" you will stop rotor banging ? i lied would love to pull your car sideways lol
Just curious that airport is class golf or class Echo. I've had some similar experiences around here and also had some people think that they couldn't hire me for work because it happened to be near an airport. When I asked them, why did they think I couldn't fly near an airport their answer was because that's what the airport told them. I'm sure their people in charge of the class golf airport know that they don't own airspace but they seem to want to own it so they spread the false narrative that they do own it :-(
As far as I know you don't need to land if you see an airplane. I believe the rule is that you need to yield to manned aircraft which of course you can't do if it's not pretty close to you. An aircraft that's miles away doesn't necessitate uas Landing.
I thought you were flying an EVO but then you mentioned the DJI app letting you fly so I guess you must have switch to a different aircraft?
Earlier that day he flew the Evo,, after that he did not fly at the small airfield we were at, the gentleman who did was flying a mavic Pro 2.
As far as flying near any airfield, you need to make sure you have all the authorizations you can get,
Even if there is no LAANC ,, call the air field and speak with someone in charge and let them know that you are hired for a job where you will be and how long and how high and a number to reach you at for any issues.
Hope that helps.
please check 1800wxbrief.com and they will give you the controlling tower phone number. you can call and speak to whomever answers. that is actually legal when you are not sure and are within 5 miles of the airport. You would need to make sure that you are not it the flight path which this video was not. Also I hope people know that this video was edited and the flights were legal.
souocara38able why spell out golf and echo, dear we can clearly read G or E
@@cliffbraun3850 I like typing!
@@georges4603
If you aren't sure where you are how will someone in the tower know where you are? What if there is no tower?
