Drone Flying Around BRIDGES [4K]

[@razoraerialnda6098]

I like bridges a lot for the subject. Thank you for the fun. Some great flying.

[@hometowntv1367]

I know its been over a year since you droned this bridge but ..it's awesome the way you captured the motorcyclist at the 1:25 mark. Truly professional Ken. Love it!

[@KenHeron]

Thanks! I was terrified of hitting the TREES on the other side of the bridge!

[@JBOutdoorsAndMore]

amazing talent to come up with those designs. the bridges were awsome to say the least good job.

[@freakydrew]

backwards sport mode @ 1:56??? nice! Did you manually orbit around the train bridge? You are doing a great job of promoting Tennessee!!

[@KenHeron]

Thank you! Yeah, there's so much to see in this state if you just drive a little! Full disclosure... That shot was reversed! If I had actually flown backwards, the props wouldn't be visible and I might have hit the bridge.

[@freakydrew]

logic! thanks makes complete sense now and I feel silly for asking! keep up the great work

[@KenHeron]

Nah... No nedd to feel silly. Just BE silly!!

[@CNCmachiningisfun]

You guys are having waaaaaayyyyy too much fun. More please :) .

[@lewiebiv]

That shot of the motorcyclers was so dope at 1:35

[@KenHeron]

Yeah, I was happy how that turned out! Thanks!

[@jackpast8462]

Excellent video again, Ken. Editing really makes it. I spotted the other drone way earlier in the video from when you asked to find it! We have a non-operational RR bridge here in Cape May, NJ. I've heard the history of it but no more trains come all the way to the Cape so it just sits in the open position rotting away. I was glad to hear that your photo miss wasn't going to be a drone crash!! Great humor, too. It puts the icing on most videos I watch on KZbin.

[@KenHeron]

Cape May NJ!!! I used to explore the "haunted" 'Christian Admiral Hotel' on the beach road there back in the 80s!! Do you remember that place? It was amazing. I love Cape May! Thank you for the comment and the compliment!!!

[@fin5072]

dang ken back at it again with the amazing flying

[@captraykelly]

Very cool flying. Love your transitions too. I've only tracked a couple a beach walkers so far. You definitely drone amazing bridges.

[@Robnord1]

Spantastic filming and creative edit ! Thanks.

[@cyborgfpv2378]

Hi Ken just have to say that I'm loving your videos. I used to have a phantom Vision Plus. but now I have the New Typhoon H and loving it. your videos keep me inspired keep up the good work thank you. Dave

[@KenHeron]

Awesome! Thank you!!

[@jdove1404]

I first noticed the other Phantom at 1:42 in the video before you asked the question. Thought it was a white bird, but it was flying too straight. Beautiful bridge. We have lots of them in Maryland, but the DC flight restrictions negate any possibility of flying around them. :(

[@kennybohey5906]

Another Great 1 Ken...Thanks...See Ya

[@villatengtravel]

Wonderful video with gorgeous scenes

[@KenHeron]

Thank you Villa! I appreciate you watching!

[@jiripastrnak1936]

Love your videos... can you enlighten me please how do you make your rotating shots so smooth? Thank you

[@Realunitedstates]

Ken, great video! So glad I found your channel, and I am really enjoying it. You're getting some great footage. Thanks for sharing! Paul

[@KenHeron]

Thank you for taking a moment to post a positive comment, Paul! Much appreciated.

[@dronedealer-dannyschulzbit5923]

This Video is AWESOME! Keep up the great work :)

[@KenHeron]

Thank you!!

[@Tarrnation]

Nice work Ken. Very nice flight and video. 👍🏻

[@KenHeron]

Thanks!!

[@kevincabral5787]

Great flying :) I love how close you got to the motorcycles and then flew away. Looked so cool!

[@KenHeron]

Those guys saw us flying and wanted us to film them. It turned out great! I'd say I was about 40 feet above them.

[@MichaelKincaiddontroughit]

Nice track on the Phantom 3! 👍

[@KenHeron]

Thank you Michael!

[@p3e450]

Another awesome video!

[@KenHeron]

Thank you young sir!

[@NiCkUs1998CoOl]

nice video ken!! really like it! keep up the good drone-work ;)

[@KenHeron]

I really enjoy the whole process... From finding a subject, to filming, to editing and then sharing!

[@NiCkUs1998CoOl]

you always do a great job! Ken Heron

[@krazyeknine57]

Amazing shot ken! As always..

[@PapadumGeek]

Hey Ken, awesome video. Im trying to get my hours up on my DJI4 before I come close to some abandon bridges around my area. Been a long time Bebop flyer but the DJI flies completely different.

[@seanc.5310]

Ken as always this is rail nice. I'm surprised you truss yourself to bridge this gap with the drone. Kept me in suspension the whole time!

[@hendersonjp]

ace video ace music top class editing loved it

[@jkmansell]

Thats a Grate Video!

[@TomSpurlock]

Did you take the "last train to Clarksville"?

[@danataylor]

Hey Ken. There's a pivoting railroad bridge here in Davenport, Iowa, too.

[@KenHeron]

Thanks Dana! VERY cool.

[@LuBiBochum]

Great vid, love bridges. Entertaining like always. Greetings LuBi

[@AnoopKumar-jh9iz]

Hi Ken, after changing the propellers have you noticed any sound difference?

[@themadgreek]

Just purchased (hasn't arrived yet) a new P4 - looking forward to the enhanced photo & video compared to my P3S - your video is inspiring - well done & keep them coming.

[@KenHeron]

Thanks Ted! Have fun!

[@Procharged32]

Neat video ken so green!

[@IslandDigital]

Have you tried the Litchi App ? I'm not as good at the straight smooth lines as you are at piloting. So I sue that app to draw the line and get great shots. I keep practicing ! I keep having issue with orientation so I tried Course Lock and it helps a little.

[@isaiahvlogs4592]

Nice flying!

[@TheOnlyTruthJC]

Nice Video Ken!!!

[@mikenji11]

Wow..that is awesome Ken..can i know is there special settings need to be configured when flying off above river/sea?

[@KenHeron]

Thank you! No special settings needed, just be aware that if you are too close to moving water, the drone may want to follow the pattern of the water, thinking it's locking-in for stability. Other than that... Have fun!

[@whoismichaelesquire]

Awesome shots

[@victor_tlm7355]

Nice video as always ! Do you do color correction or color grading afterwards?

[@transgenerations]

Nicely done....

[@michelecastelnuovo9563]

You are so funny and so good!!! Bye from Rome, Italy! :)

[@SeanOzz]

Nice video! So you make your own music or get it somewhere else?

[@KenHeron]

I use production music from my radio station.

[@massiegeorge]

Great Video!

[@KenHeron]

Thanks George!

[@Richcovephoto]

Great video my friend.. I would like to ask a question... I have a Dji 4 but I am a little worries about flying it close to metal bridges as I have been told the metal messes with this signal between controller and drone is this right? Do you experience any issues when flying near metal? Thumbs up for me.. 👍

[@KenHeron]

Hey Rich! Only the COMPASS will be affected if you calibrate near metal. But that's it. Sometimes if a bunch of metal gets between you and the controller it will mess with it, but only if you are very far away.

[@Richcovephoto]

Thanks very much for answering my question.. I am still getting use to using my Dji 4.. thanks again and have a great week. Love your vids!

[@daleleblanc8115]

Very nice. Curious to the legality of flying over roads. We have an awesome arch span bridge here south of Reno and I never fly over it (but I want to really bad).

[@KenHeron]

Hey Dale! That video was shot prior to the August 29th 2016 FAA rules. Do your flight, just don't fly directly over people or cars, or near an airport. Good luck!

[@KLNYC]

Fantastic!

[@KenHeron]

Thanks! I used to live in Syracuse NY. Lots of aerial subject matter up yonder!

[@noahschechtel8979]

great great great video game, what are your settings for the phantom4 it was so vivid

[@KenHeron]

Thanks! No special settings, just AUTO across the board. It seemed to do fine. I did bump up the contrast in post to make the blacks a bit blacker and some minimal color-correction.

[@noahschechtel8979]

+Ken Heron ohhhhhh,thanks...any filters ? I just ordered some filters from Polar

[@noahschechtel8979]

+Ken Heron my background is architecture so I love your videos keep it up

[@KenHeron]

I used an ND-4 filter that day. --Thanks! I have a video of the Memphis Pyramid you'll really like uploading right now...

[@noahschechtel8979]

+Ken Heron great!! can't wait to see it

[@Cory_Armitage]

you really got some great shots in this one! too bad you missed Mike!

[@kevinhudson6256]

Hey Ken! Did you have to use Sport Mode when you backing out with the motorcycles? Super flying man!

[@kapitaenkai]

What software do you use for editing?

[@nestormanuel]

hi just want to check and any advice my gimbal is not tilting what should I do?

[@KenHeron]

Nestor? --Like the long-eared donkey? AWESOME name!! As far as your gimbal, I'd say try re-calibrating. OR, make sure all of those tiny connections are good. Sometimes those little ribbon connectors become dislodged. Re-seat 'em and see if that helps. Good luck!

[@nestormanuel]

+Ken Heron 😁😁 thanks I'll try re-calibrating first. awesome video sir make more video😁

[@furballkimfpv9365]

lol sheesh Ken grate flying my friend

[@michaelgreer2]

Nice work Ken. I just found you a few days ago. I'm a rotorcraft EMS pilot in the Houston area and just getting into drones as a hobby. What editing software do you use? Just starting the search on that. Keep up the great work, thanks for the daily posts. MG

[@KenHeron]

Hey Michael! Thanks for saying that. It means a lot coming from a REAL pilot! My friend Gary (he's in a few drone videos) is an EMS guy here in Tennessee, so I really appreciate what you guys do. I've actually been flown in an EMS copter after a motorcycle accident back in 2010. I use the Adobe family of programs, including Premiere Pro CC. --Take care!

[@dillonr5645]

Hey ken grate videos( see what i did there)! i live in paris, and been debating on a phantom for a while, i have many race drones (fpv) but the dji has amazing quality! keep posting!

[@KenHeron]

Thank you! (I saw what you did there. HA!) I've never tried a race drone. I bet I'd quickly get addicted!

[@AlvinAlvrez]

How do you manage to pan/spin without getting jagged edges on your video? Love the videos by the way. Those FPV Goggles look like the business.

[@KenHeron]

Hey Alvin! Thank you for the nice comment. What do you mean by "jagged edges"? (The goggles are the SHIZZ!)

[@KenHeron]

Watch this if you haven't already: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJ3XgGeVYqeFapo You'll see my hands and the controller. The secret is... VERY MINIMAL and SMALL movements on the sticks when turning, and practice-practice-practice. --Good luck!!

[@AlvinAlvrez]

thanks, I am getting better.. Love your videos, your character sells them..your comedy is spot on.

[@TheRealColeKane]

If you have a phamtom 4 you can use point of interest to achieve this

[@burtwonderstone5315]

Hey Ken, you're good at this! Quick question though: do you, or did you ever experience a fear of heights when drone flying? I took my new Phantom 4 into the sky and was pretty freaked out by the height once I put it above the tree lines. I've always had a fear of heights. I'm hoping the jitters subside with time

[@TonyExcell]

Nice video and did had to turn of the gps because of the metal of the bridge or no

[@TonyExcell]

Did u *

[@KenHeron]

Goodness NO!!! GPS won't be affected by the bridge metal. Only the COMPASS will be affected if you calibrate near metal. But that's it. Sometimes if a bunch of metal gets between you and the controller it will mess with it, but only if you are very far away.

[@roncuzzort283]

Mike lives in Leiper's Fork not too far from the bridge.

[@DumpsterMarcus]

Grate Video lol!!!!

[@KenHeron]

HAA! Thanks!

[@BrianSiskind]

Always wanted to film that bridge... there is a "no drones" sign there at the top... perhaps I should ignore it and do my own take on my favorite bridge in TN.

[@KenHeron]

HAAAA!!!! That's hilarious! We flew in from below the bridge, so a "No Drones" sign does no good unless it's on a billboard in 20 foot high letters! Too funny.

[@jurofox]

whats that song?

[@KenHeron]

Just some random production music we use at my radio station. I couldn't tell you.

[@jurofox]

+Ken Heron well it's pretty awesome

[@CrazyFunnyCats]

What video editing do you use? Very cool work🎥👍 I only use ipad ....so far.. Need more help with computers👽👽..... Someday! Great laugh it cheers me up from flat earth and Mandella effect videos 😉

[@ryccoh]

Beautiful footage once again but your attempts at editing to the beat of the song seemed kinda awkward. I think it might work better when flying towards the bridge and then you cut out pieces so it comes closer to the bridge every time the beat hits on the approach Idk if that makes sense.

[@3noruTokyo]

Your movie is very fun. I like your movie.

[@toddalexander3813]

nice video Ken. Was most of that manual control? I like the forward following motorcycle stuff. Sport mode - manual? Nice editing too. Cool.

[@KenHeron]

Thanks Todd! Yes, all of that was manually shot. I didn't use sport-mode though. I have collision avoidance turned OFF, so that speeds up the P4 enough where I didn't need sport mode.

[@charlesglemot6569]

hi guy! is it possible that you give me your drone? thank you very much

[@KenHeron]

Hey back atcha! No, that is not possible. --You're very welcome!

[@lek987]

welcome to thailand

[@KenHeron]

Thank you!

[@mrc8233]

You're just too punny Ken!

[@MichaelKincaiddontroughit]

👍

[@charleshenderson3447]

??!!! I thought you cannot legally fly over a bridge as a hobbyist!! The whole moving traffic thing...

[@BrianBecker]

Awesome vid! Could you give me some tips from my vid called new drone footage on my channel? Thanks!

[@KenHeron]

Hello Brian! First, let me say that when I was your age, I was playing records and watching too much Six Million Dollar man on TV. That said, I think it's GREAT that you have found something that you enjoy doing, so keep up the good work! You did, however, ask for a few tips... I'd say try and make less jerky movements with the controls. In order to get those "cinematic" fluid turns you must make smaller corrections and anticipate your visual targets. I like the music choice, and the subject matter is wonderful! One more thing... Maybe tone-down the color correction on some shots. A few were very cartoon-bright. --I love your enthusiasm Brian! Keep at it1

[@dpirch531]

Nice video man! I like the combo of drone shots and vlogging. I kind of do that in some of my videos! Check my channel out if you get a chance! Liked and subbed!
