Ken, Thank you so much for this information! I'm in the process of starting an aerial business, and this is some information I needed to get! Keep it up!

[@iAdventurez]

Ken, I love the Content. Great way to explain the situation of becoming a Pro Droner.

[@marklevin3556]

I'm a pincher thanks to you. You taught me this lesson a couple of months back when I was first getting started. You've taught me a lot. Keep posting these great videos.

[@ironik123]

Ken you literally read my mind as I was just doing the research on this the last two days. Thanks!

[@OutboundIntent]

Thank you so much Ken! I was just thinking about how to start a business because I am going for my part 107 soon and I did not know what to do. Thank you for giving me something to start on!

[@DoomerONE]

Brilliant as always sir and right on point. Thanks for making this a fun way to learn.

[@SCAerialsSteveCarpenter]

Ken, this video was very well done, Spot On! This video should go viral for people wanting to know how to get started and being compliant. Thank you, Sir!

[@stevekaboobiroo1479]

Great video Ken and are very much looking forward to your 2019 adventures. Happy New Year

[@adirdagostin1810]

"I'm a pincher not a thumber" and I want it! Nice job Ken

[@400AGLNET]

Ken, Great video, Very good layout on how to start things out without making it sound confusing to someone that may be new to the scene.

[@JoesRCCorner]

I have been a pincher my whole recreational and Professional UAS/RC Career. I have been involved in UAS for 12yrs and RC for 29 yrs. Thanks for sharing correct information to the UAS community in a fun way.

[@ZenDawg]

Dude, I’ve been telling Dad jokes since I was 7 years old and grew into it so you’re my kind of funny. Your humor and delivery is f’ing hilarious! I’ve been following your videos for a bit and your info is spot on and appreciated. And for both my wife and my drone, I’m a pincher not a thumber.

[@1STLAR2147]

Happy New year too you Ken! I found out the hard way this evening that the Mavic Pro makes an awesome Aloe Vera trimmer! LOL Nothing major damaged, just one single chipped blade. Trying to go in reverse in a confined area about three feet off the ground to film a snowman we made. Forgot the mavic is a lot more touchy than my phantom 4, not to mention the fact that my eyes were glued to my monitor.🙄Lesson learned until the next brain fart. LOL Happy Holliday's Ken! 🎄

Don't forget insurance! :)

[@metalfox1911a1]

Ama

[@pdub422]

@@metalfox1911a1 I don't think ama will cover your "business"

[@metalfox1911a1]

@@pdub422 ama offers liability insurance to model aviation flyers, though that's only if your other insurance won't cover it, or if you have none, and you were operating in a safe manner in accordance with the ama rules, then the insurance kicks in.

[@pdub422]

@@metalfox1911a1 right, but that still covers you when flying commercially under part 107 as well? I was under the impression it was only for hobbyists/recreational use

[@zachmachina]

@@pdub422 It's at least only for model aviation, which I don't believe could be used to define any DJI products.

[@ronhatten1692]

I just started in this side of rcing. You are perfectly correct on the pinching made learning curve alot easier. I'm now a pincher not a thumber. Thanks for all your videos.

[@JamesNickersonThePhotoShopGuru]

I’m a pincher, not a thumber ... great video, thank you Ken, I see your videos as an institution of learning and try to put your lessons to good use ... I was a “pincher” from the get-go, even in my “video gaming days” and continue to do so with drone flying ...

I'm a thumber, but I still love your content! Happy New Year!

[@threefingersfolly6044]

THANKS SO MUCH KEN. I just passed my part 107, and am waiting for the official certificate in the mail. I passed the test on December the 18th. I intend to start my own business, and really got some great ideas from your video. My wife has fallen in love with the cute little drone, she's a retired speech pathologist and is convinced that it talks. I'M A PINCHER, NOT A THUMBER !! (Thanks to you.) I have been flying for almost a year, for personal pleasure, and for my youtube channel THREE FINGERS FOLLY. I made my first profit 4 days ago, for trading some aerial photos of the R V park, I stayed in, for 2 nights stay. Your awesome Ken, I have learned a lot from your videos. Thanks, keep up the great work.

[@KenHeron]

Congrats my friend! Feels good to make money doing something so fun, huh? Good luck with everything!

[@Jaybee-lm7qx]

Thank, Ken, I live around Nashville and I'm very new to drones and photography. I've recently bought a Mavic Pro Platinum. And I'm so impressed with this technology. I''ve never controlled anything like this bedside my old toy quad copter. It's very easy to control. I would like to get into commercial flying and photography but I have a lot of flying and editing skills to improve on. Thanks for your videos. they have been the most helpful on what to do and not to do. Plus, I'm an a gamer and pinching is very new to me. But i think i can do it!! Keep up the good work my man!!!

[@Zero-wt7xf]

CASA in Aus just gives you a piece of paper for your license :( I like your fancy card from the FAA Also ouch on the crash. Not going to lie for a chance to win, but I will give it a go.

[@KarlNiblock]

Ken, I started using the pinch technique and boy oh boy I felt like an moron. WHY hadn't I been doing that since day one?!

[@KenHeron]

Wonderful, Karl! Glad to help. 🤓👍

[@mikeylaw5969]

Happy 2019, pal. Enjoyed the video on the 1st day of the new year. Keep ‘em coming. Bah bye.

you guys are barely even actually flying your aircraft lol. Does it matter

[@BigBoss-ln8rj]

Thanks for the video Ken Happy New Years!

[@Werewolf84820]

Awesome information as always. Next month I'll have had my phantom a year and I've been taking practice tests and studying so I'm hoping next month or by March I'll be ready to take the Part 107, the airplane/airport codes are killing me but I want to have my license. I've had several friends ask me to do some aerial work for them and I feel bad telling them I can't (I also know I'm missing out on some really great opportunities) Anyways, thanks again for such a great video, I always look forward to your videos and I have learned so much from them (and been entertained by them too) Happy New Year Ken!

Hey Ken, First time pincher long time thumber, I'm just getting started on drones and all I have is 4 mini drones which are toys, yes, I don't know what I can do, still waiting for weather to change to sunshine. ( Live in Seattle) all I do is practice with my mini toys and make stupid wacky mini drone vids on TikTok. You are an inspiration to all beginners. Love the content and your sense of humor watching all your videos. Stay neat and tidy.

Glad to help Bryan!

[@lorageproductions]

Ken thanks for taking the time to tell us about the best Controller technique. It works !

[@KenHeron]

🤓👍

[@choppergirl]

The best advice I've read so far, is to get a copy of Velocidrone or Liftoff and practice in a simulator, before you waste any money on any quadcopter equipment at all.. or even if you already bought some. When you have a sim, you realize how much waste it can save you... in one afternoon I can and will crash a thousand times with no $ lost, and with every crash the drone is reset to start within 3 seconds.
