HOW TO Fly a Drone - Back to Basics (Episode 1)

Brilliant training mate one of the best I have watched ❤️

Thank you Ken. You remind me so much of a mailman. I just purchased a drone and I will be watching this to help me out. Thank you so much

Is it possible to switch the roll and yaw controls? I'd rather have the roll connected to the collective rather than yaw. My first drone should be here tomorrow and I've been devouring learning videos ahead of time.

You say pinch and then your video shows you using your thumbs, kinda intuitive isn't it?

I know how to fly a drone, but the pinch vs thumbs is a great tip, I always used thumbs until you posted this. My son tried landing on my head with a tiny drone but I have long hair lol. Where were the flaming chainsaws though?

Sorry to say this Ken but your heads too pointy for a three point landing, almost though 😳😂🤣👍🏻✨

good content! Just got one gonna make videos on the DJI 3 Mini Pro

Great explanation, you are either an engineer or a science professor at some university with how you demonstrated. ;-)

Excellent. I guess no episode two eh?

In my job if you haven't lost some bark by the end of the day then you haven't been trying hard enough.
Good work Ken.

If you control it with your feet you'll get good Foot-age

Those motors are powerful lol. Great …tips! Thanks! I’m definitely still working on my technique. Thanks for the …pointers.

great vid. ive just started flying drones still need to build a little confidence up . but hopefully ill get there

Pinch, not thumbs. I'll have to try that next practice session. Question though, as skills progress and you try to use the gimble while moving in 3D, kinda hard to still pinch the left stick eh? or do you operate the gimble with your middle finger?

BIKINI GIRLS? ?????
OH MY GOODNESS <3 ♡

Ken do trust the Litchi program? In the Uk people say it’s so much better than DJI’S program. Never used anything but DJI. Thanks for sharing Ray K UK. YNWA.

Hey man I was waiting on the three hotties. Just don't try to land on the other one.. If you know what I mean...

Define emergency. Examples of situations where you should use RTH.

Wow nice landing at the end straight a head😵‍💫😂😂

“Just pinch. That’s the way I do it”. Then you spend the next few minutes using your thumbs. Hilarious.

"Whirling blades of death."

I have my first drone shipping to me as I write and I've been watching several videos on how to fly a drone and yours is the easiest and the most fun video I've seen yet! Well done and thank you.

Ken says...don't use your thumbs. He uses his thumbs.

Thanks!

Never land on your head. I did when my mum dropped me on my head as a baby. I've never been the same since.

Now I know. Thanks Ken

Why cant you get "good footage" if you use your feet?

Hey Ken, is that a pixel 5? How does it work with the fly app? I want to get an air2s but I'm hoping you can give me some guidance on the pixel 5's functionality.

Where's the part where you fly into a tree like I do?

One of the best tips I learned when the drone is facing towards you (reverse orientation) is to imagine the right stick is a "sling shot." If you pull the right stick down and right--like pulling back a sling shot--the drone will move in the exact opposite direction--as if you fired the sling shot (away and to the left). If the stick was a mini catapult, imagine what direction the drone would be launched when you released the stick. If you want the drone to move away and to the right, cock the right stick down and to the left.

Always like those PG-13 episodes! LOL

Wow! These are kicking butt man!

The king of b-roll :)

Subbed. Most entertaining drone video I've ever seen. You rock man.

You need to tell people that the "you can put down the remote if you want" thing only works with GPS drones, lol

Nice head...landing. I need to practice, practice, PRACTICE.

How NOT to fly a drone ;-)

Hey Ken, just purchased my first drone "DJI mini 2". I'm really excited about getting some videos and pics this summer. Keep the great videos coming.

no blood... I guess it was fine...

حلو

Okay, after watching many videos, I admit to being an avid Ken Heron Fan... I instantly realized Ken has many skills...! Now it’s no surprise to me to learn that Ken Heron has an awesome radio show in Tennessee, and I can listen to Ken’s show on TuneIn Radio! Thank you Ken for all you do! Thank you Ken!! You are a cool dude!

Love the landing on the head, definitely gotta try that! 😁

Good job....hope your finger gets better too. That's another lesson for newbies...keep doing the starter - expert tips. They quite valuable. There is always a nugget to learn. BTW..you say you 'pinch', but it seems only for some shots as you show yourself thumbing a lot, too for basic stuff.

Don’t forget to take along some Pigeon Jerky for snacking on.
