First Time goggle Riders | Minds are BLOWN

[@mr-huggy]

I wonder how many of the kids are now pestering the parents to buy them a drone. Keep up the good work Ken.

[@scottmarshall6766]

Good point, maybe give them a card wit Kens channel, Rotor riot and JB KZbin channels on it. Time to make family RC flight great again!

[@scotty3114]

All of them! No matter the age.🤣

[@michianadroneservicesllc858]

I was thinking the same thing. That was assume that Ken does this!

[@GR33ZY.A1]

Hope they start with toy drone .

[@DDsAerialViews]

Ken and I had a really great time on this one. Being true Ambassadors of the drone community. Think we even got some new potential drone pilots out there, some of the riders were certainly hooked by the time the flight ended. Just a Kenrific time as always.

[@nicolaskukukova7252]

Thank you so much Ken (on behalf of Louise). She had a such good time and she is talking about her ride with you to every person she cross ! You have some new followers :-)

[@KenHeron]

Oh wonderful! Gotta get the next generation interested in aviation. 🤓👍

[@DDsAerialViews]

So, glad Ken was able to share the experience with Louise. Even if you were crunched for time. 😊 Thanks Nicolas!

'FREE RIDES' 😂🤣 That's great!

Why am I thinking of the song by FogHat?

Wish I had a spare set of goggles to do the same thing in my area. Great idea👌

[@timlong7289]

I think Ken is flying digital but if you had analog, a cheap box goggle like the Eachine EV800D is probably under $100

Just use an android phone, laptop, or raspberry pi to get video out 👍

[@yannickg6904]

I've done it a few times with a monitor. My nephew really gets a kick out of it, but not enough to want to take up flying himself.

This is brilliant Ken!

[@scottmarshall6766]

Nice work, the more people that experience our point of view the more allies we have. I'm teaching 3 people to fly, and it's so worth the effort. And parts....

[@Michael-dq1qr]

Love these kind of videos! Please do it more often.

[@bigtiny1102]

This is awesome. I didnt realize jow much of a pro you have become with the FPV. Glad you let people experience this!!

[@weirdmark]

I’ve been watching for a year. Got interested in your channel because of the crash compilations. Then I started learning from your videos. I remember you building one with a guy, I think he is a teacher maybe in East Texas, as he took you through the steps including Beta Flight. Then I watched you fly your build on the football field when you forgot the antenna. Dude…you have really gotten good at FPV! Did you build that one in the video and do you repair it? Do you have a couple builds? This is such a fun video. I was going to say I was jealous but it’s a lot of practice, patience and work to get where you are. You have given me the encouragement to get back in the sim. I currently have the DRL sim. You are showing people how much fun it is. I wish they knew how much skill and practice it takes to get where you are. Great job Ken and you have rekindled the spark.

[@Fly_High_FPV]

I'm happy to help Mark, Ken gets most of his parts from my shop www FlyHighFPV com I can pair you up with a builder or you can get a parts list and follow a guide on youtube like Joshua Bardwell who teaches building and troubleshooting 👌 As Ken continoually demonstrates, the FPV community loves to help. Just reach out if you need help, i'm always on instagram @FlyHighFPV

[@jeremymerrix6236]

We all need to set up and do this so people can understand why we fly.

[@DDsAerialViews]

So, very true.

[@Fly_High_FPV]

Ken needs to do this on the front lawn of the FAA

[@ArtCoDroneAndEntertianment]

Awesome video Ken those folks looked liked they really enjoyed the experience.

[@NightRunner417]

You can really tell who's going home daydreaming about having their own vs. not so much. The born flyhards are super easy to spot. I myself don't think I'd do absolutely great just being along for the ride because I do get VR motion sickness really easily, but I'd for sure be wanting to grab those sticks. Been out of the FPV loop for a few years now, and I'm frankly dying to get back in the air. I was born for it.

[@Fly_High_FPV]

Ive been flying FPV for 7 years, but i still get motion sick playjng alot of VR games. The problem for me is unnatural movement in VR, and I dont have any issues with FPV, but i do still get the heart racing when i dive off the top of a building, or fly up a creek, or bounce of of concrete 🙌

Ken, you've really progressed over the past year. Now you really make my flying look bad!

[@Fly_High_FPV]

Ken's been busting his ass and flying all the damn time...it's amazing watching the progression, just gotta keep getting stick time and you'll improve with each session. (Having a basher quad that can take abuse without falling apart is key 👌)

That was a great idea, to help get more people interested in drones. Some of people's reactions were priceless. Very entertaining video Ken, thanks for sharing.

[@repaid1]

Great job Ken! Telling my age here. When I was a young boy we had a very small airport very near my house. About twice a year three or four of the local pilots would gather and do discovery flights for the locals in the area. Believe it or not it was called "penny a pound flights". And they had a bathroom scale at the sign up desk. You literally got weighed and paid what you weighed to go up on a quick tour of the town from the air. I was hooked and spent most of my summer weekend days at the field. (Most pilots only flew for pleasure flights on weekends) I would pedal out to the airport and hang around the gas pump and little office and generally get in 2-3 flights each day I went for free. That is something you could never do these days with the politically correct crowd. About age 14 I was able to start my ground school and by age 17 had my pilots license. I started flying R/C Helicopters in Japan while serving in the Corps in the mid 80's and have been flying R/C now ever since from fixed wing to now 7 years in Quads....Way to get the young crowd interested, Just in time for the guberment to shut it down for us all it seems. Great video!!!

[@dobirdfly4428]

You fly well!

So much fun! Thank you for sharing FPV

[@jdc8352]

The first time i saw a vid of somebody shredding fpv I was sucked in. I learned, i built one, I shredded. I haven't flown in 3 years. That's another story. I still have all my stuff. This is a cool thing you're doing, you're likely getting some people into this.

What a supper cool thing to do for people. Eighty Thumbs up.... I flew today and would love to have a second set of goggles for this.

Thanks Ken! This shortcut is much appreciated, everyone had so much fun. You have totally sold me on getting FPV so while I have the money ouch I'm going to get both the avata to the goggles and the mini 4 pro I'm going to carry all that stuff with me when I travel though😂

[@SirensAndAlarmsOfNorthernIL]

3:42 Oh yes! About time I saw Ken do an inverted yaw spin on an FPV drone. I really love the progress you’re making with FPV freestyle! Istg if I was giving ppl goggle rides on a 5 inch, they’d likely never wanna do it again lmfao. I would just be way too tempted to do some crazy maneuvers the entire flight! 😂

[@KenHeron]

Thanks 👍

[@Dorff_Meister]

I'm a new pilot - recently got a Mini 3 Pro and have been enjoying it, but watching the FPV (freestyle) on this and other YT channels instantly drew me in. My next goal is to learn to fly acro on a Mobula8 with O3 Air Unit. I've been spending time in sims (mostly DCL, some Velocidrone) and am having fun learning -- although sometimes it's more painful than others. I'm flying the sims with the Zorro ELRS which I plan to fly with the Mobula8. Knowing I also would want to fly the Mini 3 Pro in FPV, too, I got the Goggles 2 and Motion 2. I took them with the Mini 3 Pro out flying last night and wow - what a blast!! The Goggles 2 worked great for me (notably the easy focus and IPD tuning) and the Motion 2 felt so intuitive - flying in FPV for the first time with these felt so free and in control. I imagine the Motion controller won't be useful outside of my M3P, but it was a lot of fun to just pick up and rip around a nearby school's track and sports fields. I just wish I would have hit record or I could enable record on takeoff 😛 I'm excited to learn all of the next things.

[@guanacofpv628]

Great stuff Ken. I’ve thought about doing this myself to share the experience..

[@freeman-1776]

Now that's how we educate them. Take them up. It really is a life changing experience for most people. I hope more pilots offer this kind opportunity to the public. Just think about it. We are creating allies to push back against Karens and the negative media narratives. We should also take up police officers, city council members and government officials. This would be way better than a spoken presentation. Let them experience it. Brilliant idea Ken.

[@williamgambill3922]

The reaction of people is the greatest that hase never fpv before sometimes I wish I was better at Los to watch there reactions. I believe everyone needs to take a ride it could help fpv in the long run so take the extra goggles to the park everyone take a Stanger on a flight

I'd be more interested in an FPV drone if they had stereoscopic cameras and headset. It'd be pretty interesting for people to watch my drone videos on a VR headset and see the aerial footage just as if they were a passenger of the drone itself.

[@Fly_High_FPV]

There are a few steroscopic analog fpv systems, but they've never been popular due to the increased cost and complication. For example a decent analog cam is $25-45, but the stereo cam system was $200, and needed a special video receiver to capture both signals. I'd love to try one. Head Trackers are also few n far between, but significantly more than stereo systems. Pretty cool to be able to look around, like VR, but disorienting. Works great for planes

[@metallicaandchimaira]

I ended up buying one after a coworker of mine showed me what they do. Went with the dji avata. Later found out another coworker of mine has been flying rc planes and drones since he was a little kid so he is an expert when it comes to drones and building them. He put me on a good long range drone with crazy flight times. So I went with the chimera 7 6s V2 HD pro with the 8000mAh 6s Li-ion battery complete with the O3 air unit and tbs crossfire coupled with a radiomaster tx16s Mk2 with the tbs crossfire long range RC transmitter and 2s 6200mAh li-ion battery for it. Last but no least got the dji goggles v2 to get the best quality. I am still clueless on how to operate this whole thing but my coworker was saying that should save me a lot of spending if I get into drones. So here I am learning as I go.

[@KenHeron]

You have a fascinating and fun journey ahead of you!
