KEN HERON - Confrontation over my DRONE

Watch Ken get confronted and kicked out of a distillery: • KICKED-OUT for flying ...
Ken found a city in Mississippi with a really funny name!
Then you'll see an Osprey perched high atop a cell phone repeater tower. Then Ken gets a couple of visitors as he is filming a lovely sunset in Tennessee. Plus, a helpful editing tip for Adobe Premiere Pro users.

tip-get yourself a bright yellow safety vest, put a orange cone out and trust me the "what are you doing/harassment?" encounters will end. Folks will just think your a utility worker and never bother you again, it works try it. And If they do walk up just say your doing a " cell tower or bridge inspection" not "sunset photography" to try to defuse the situation.

[@michaelpakadronermike8146]

Works every time. The whole 'look like you belong there" thing.

[@nfarc7542]

That's absolutely brilliant... I will be doing this.

[@justuslm]

This is also your free certificate for flying in cities or over crouds.

[@kyleschori955]

That's actually what I do. Helps with avoiding the deer hunters too.

[@flemmingcorrell2977]

[@tdesaul]

Was that a "confrontation?" No... that was locals being curious and friendly. I'm glad you were kind and friendly back.

[@virginiatrailcameravideos]

I've met "locals" much more friendly than these two. I think they were on the edge of trying to decide to be jerks or just be the stand-offish weirdos they were.

[@JPG23]

This title is misleading, this wasn't a "confrontation" at all. Using clickbait is the 8th deadliest sin

[@XxDrac13xX]

The first definition in the Merriam-Webster dictionary is "a face-to-face meeting." Not all confrontations are hostile.

[@sludge4125]

@@XxDrac13xX Hey, we have an idiot here. Merriam-Webster definition number one has more. It really reads; the act of confronting, the state of being confronted: such as a face-to-face meeting. Jackingtheass missed quite a lot in his futile effort to look intelligent. So, what does it mean to confront? Glad you asked. The same source states, in its *first* definition; to face especially in challenge : OPPOSE.

[@OneMinuteofs]

DracInTheBox greatest come back ever

[@bjswimmer2003]

Thanks for saving me time.

[@johnlheneghan1630]

I agree

[@souocara38able]

Feel free to drop Adobe premiere tips into every video if you'd like!

[@chaseme81871]

they were scared you were going to discover their "plants"

[@sludge4125]

Heck, heron, could have gotten some cash out of them. Or product.

[@badmandansanchez1823]

Shit I don't want anyone finding my "plants" either. Even though it's legal here now. Grow your own shit.🤣🤣🤣

[@abhijeetarunparab575]

Yup!! Keep on with your Tips. This one of "Pr" added to my knowledge for sure. Your friend from India. REF:- You did, what you did, aptly!

[@keithmilton9313]

Those gun sound effects 🔫😂😂 so funny! One of the reasons I love this channel!

[@kensmapleleafretirement]

I think the way you handled that was why it was not a problem. You handled that perfectly. Thanks for sharing your knowledge of editing. TTYL.....

[@djdistinct4706]

You killed it with Elvis lol

[@bsfishing7073]

😂That bird is thinking what the heck is that thing

[@Trippintim05]

Ken . . . You are always a BIG help when it comes to drones, now you're even a greater help to video editing thank you

[@MrDlt123]

There have been some hostile confrontations with R/C hodbbyists and drone pilots in my area. I'm now wary of people who approach me. Ive only had one hostile encounter and that was with a guy who wanted his kid to control my R/C car, which weighed about 8 pounds and was capable of 80+ mph. As you can imagine it could do a lot of damage if he hit someone with it. Had to turn him down but did so politely. But he still started calling me names. For that reason, I try to stay far from others when I pillot drones and other R/C craft.

[@mortonbeard2240]

Americans are scary.

[@gangstarv1nce41]

That's almost like letting a child run around with scissors💀

[@fpshobbs]

​@gangstarv1nce41 I fully agree and could do worse. I accidentally got my hands in the propellers after try to hand land it and almost had to get stitches. It fucked up my hand really good. After that always take off and land on the ground

[@thedroneranger7468]

Came in for a quick hand catch there Ken!! Got the impression you wanted to get the hell outa there lol! Before them fellas started whipping out their guns and rob you're drone! That guy didn't seem as tho he was 100% with it!

[@MrDarrelln64]

Very entertaining. Ken you are hillarous😄

[@KenHeron]

Thanks ol' buddy!

[@AdrianMateoDrones]

Nicely done and good job Sir. 👍👍👍💯💯💯✌️✌️✌️. Hilarious as usual. Hey tell Elvis I said hello. I mean your GPS. Love your videos my good man. Thanks for all you do and please keep flying.

[@KenHeron]

Much appreciated, Adrian!👍

[@jahbay]

Great Elvis thanks for the LOL. That dude seemed like he wanted a confrontation but you diffused the situation... Mad props on your skill set sir.

[@fforehand]

Glad I saw this. I saw a warning some time ago that said "Stay away from Cell Towers. The wattage they emit could damage your drone's reception and result in a fly away."

[@KenHeron]

It's true in some cases. Like this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGO6k2h9rshrmrs

[@SJMDronesMedia]

Cool hand Ken Lol, thoroughly enjoyed, it's nice to get some good tips ,advice , we can never have enough knowledge, regards.

[@jeffreybual]

Always love the Epidemic music in the background

[@leekidman6128]

Heron your a total FREAK! dont ever change! Top Man!!!!!! Vidz are brilliant for newbies like me dont always pertain to us in the uk but still genius

[@stevekaboobiroo1479]

Great video as always Ken. Love the gunslinging bit and the way the drone looks both ways before crossing the road.

[@thebarnyard]

I like the tip on editing. Ty for your knowledge we can all use whatever experience you have attained over the years. Keep them coming, always learning.

[@JAY3TeeVee]

That guy seemed fishy AF. You handled it well. Great vid!

[@DaleEdmondsonVideo]

The Premier tips are greatly appreciated so keep'em coming. As always, great job.

[@robertzeurunkl8401]

1:18 - OK... that little bit right there got me to subscribe. LOL

[@KenHeron]

Thank you Robert!

[@REINER-ud2zw]

Thanks Ken ..... very helpful ... you know I am from Europe ... weapons at the water tower ... no comment .. all the best ..

[@properrule]

Thank you for the tip on Premier Pro. As a new drone enthusiast I am still learning all the little tricks.

[@dennis3277]

Thumbs up for Garry!!!! im a Ambulance driver in the Netherlands!!!!! Love your channel, great video as always Ken

[@victorthegee2652]

Editing is what I want to know more about, thanks again Ken

Thanks again Ken, always fun to watch

[@KenHeron]

Thanks! What kind of motorcycle do you have?

[@pvalentin214]

Good morning Ken. Yes please up with the tips . new guys like me always looking to learn . Thanks for been so kool .

[@dhansel4835]

We used to go coin hunting. People would come up and ask what we were doing. One time I told a little girl we were spraying ants. I shouldn't have said that .... she started to look for ants. :-)

[@mikekay6288]

Thanks Ken; enjoyable as ever. A stranger at sunset walks up and says 'what are you doing?' Reminds me that you have the best(technology) and the worst(guns) in your country. I would have been packing! Mike in Oz

[@SalineScott]

Okay. You got me hooked when you said you were heading back to TN. I live in Knoxville. I like you’re drone footage, so I just had to subscribe to you. Love the humor you put into the videos too.

[@KenHeron]

Thanks very much! I really appreciate it.

[@AllOutFPSGlitchesandTutorials]

My biggest fear is someone will approach me and be violent whilst I’m wearing goggles

[@RealHankShill]

Someone has to have line of sight on the drone, so if you are wearing your goggles, wouldnt your spotter let you know someone was coming up?

[@arty2k]

Flying near microwave cell towers might fry the circuits of your drone, particularly during prime hours.

[@vagabondmike5870]

No it won't. Drone inspection of cell towers is becoming commonplace today and they fly a bit closer than Ken did.

[@HAL900032]

btw if you read the manual. It says that your cellphone is not meznt to be used like a normal phone..you got to use earbuds.

[@solatola5582]

How?

[@darbywing2]

One of the better Elvis impersonations I have seen/heard.

[@KenHeron]

Thank you... Thank you very much!

[@stevewaller6303]

Yeah! The Premiere tips are great!

[@KenHeron]

Thanks Steve!

[@michalwalks]

Oh I remember young Ken with his Phantom. ....Still awesome quality from the Phantoms, to this day.

[@badmandansanchez1823]

I just confronted a guy flying a drone while I was waiting for my buddy to show up at the disc golf course. I went right up to where they landed and asked is that a yunique? It was. In fact it was a bad ass one I didn't even know existed. Dude did drone stuff for cinema turns out, like 4k stuff. I got him to waste some time filming us throwing frisbees. How awesome is that?

[@neezeee]

awesome

[@EpicSpeed]

Wow Just got a drone and I am looking forward to flying it. I want to travel to places like you and get the beautiful shots too. Keep up the great work Ken!!

[@KenHeron]

Thanks my friend! Happy flying.

[@jerryh100]

Crazy man! Love you, you never know what your going to attract in on lookers? Notice how he repeated SUN SET was ready for a horror movie.

[@iamKelvinJ]

Love your videos! Blessings my brother. I look forward to shooting with you some day. Or should I say DRONING with you. 🙏😎💯

[@KenHeron]

Thanks Kelvin! (You're my favorite thermodynamic temperature scale.)

[@apollos5184]

More editing tips are always welcome! Nice sunset, thanks for sharing. Ba & by.

[@Abrock0]

Awesome videos and attitude. Thanks for the laughs

[@KenHeron]

You bet! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@CrystalAge]

Mahalo for the quick tip. I’m really passionate about flying and you help me a lot.

[@KenHeron]

Glad to help, Brandon.

[@Koda716]

You're ballsy for going near that bird like that. I'm guessing you haven't experienced the anxiety while birds attack your drone

[@MattSharpe]

Fun Video! Always enjoy them! Looking forward to more Editing tips

[@darkvader47]

Great tip on premier Pro!

[@arlodowgwilliams2605]

Thanks Ken! I need to learn Light room and Photo shop better. I have them both and don't know how to use them.

[@rynoshaun]

I love your stuff, come to South Africa, plenty of amazing landscape here. Plus people pretty much don't mind drones, yet.

[@KenHeron]

I'd love to! What a beautiful part of the world!

[@gotskinn]

I love drones! I love spying on what the ambulance and sirens are all about.

[@TomMeny]

I'm relatively new to the channel and don't know all of the ins and outs, or your story... but I really have enjoyed the videos I have seen so far. The shot of the cell tower with the eagle (or whatever that bird was) was a great shot!

[@michaelhenwood4046]

I watched a couple of your videos,you,sir,crack me up.

[@KenHeron]

Thank you Michael. Watch a couple more!👍

[@jerryparisi2885]

Gary's A Man Of Few Words. LOL

[@KenHeron]

Indeed. But he's a good guy.

[@AerialApertureDPS]

Thanks for the Kwick tip. I always enjoy your videos.

[@jeffchilders236]

I just subscribed to your Channel I am in West Virginia I tell you the reason I subscribe to your channel and because that was funny the lawn mower joke that was funny thanks man for that laugh

[@helidude35]

Love the videos Ken. I've had a few people come and ask what I was doing. And by the time we're done talking they wanted a drone of their own.

[@TT-hi1qv]

As usual you had me laughing and very entertained I like your lesson on interactions with people and respecting traffic and the video editing is something I am just beginning to learn .. nice job Elvis! Lol

[@KenHeron]

🤓👍

[@haskellimages]

Hey Ken- Fantastic work. I like your Premier tip. You had told me that you don't care to do video editing tutorials. I appreciate what you are willing to share. Thanks

[@PixiesChannel12345]

Phew I thought they were going to have a go at you young sir, top sun set I laughed at the minie Elvis lol

[@bama1357]

Love the premier tips, keep them coming. I love learning from the best! Your videos crack me up, like your drone looking both ways to cross the road...AWESOME!

[@KenHeron]

Thanks Adam!

[@bbolanda18]

Adam Roberson I agree 110%. My wife is not into my hobby for some reason ($) even though I tell her that drones, cameras, computers are not just a hobby and if you're patient it will pay for it's self (well she is not patient and and did not like that response). Anyways since your my number 1 KZbin channel Ken Heron, I watch she started to overhear you and one day she started laughing because she thinks you are hilarious and now she love's watching your video's and she grew up nearby where you live (happy wife happy life). So I thank you sir for your video's and you're humor and I now I have a happier drone flying wife.

[@COMOESIS]

I'm.glsd I watched this, u handled that great love to personality my brother I'm looking forward to start my drone journey this summer

[@jessec1sneros]

Thanks for the tips for premiere pro at the end I liked it. I'm just starting out with that software and GoPro footage and have been wondering about this since I've been shooting in all different parameters

[@KenHeron]

Glad to help!

[@winslowwhite4003]

Another great video.. love the Premiere Pro CC tips... very helpful... all I could think of when those two guys came up was Deliverance and the sow scene... lol

[@KenHeron]

HAA!! When you hear banjos... RUN!

[@scottcopeand373]

Yes Ken that helped a little I want so bad to learn how to edit like you do but I just don't get I work my ass off all day then the lovely wife wants to hangout I like your your videos the humor kills me

[@viceroy6382]

To ken from ken but from the other end of Tennessee, Great job !!!!

Will do Jerry!

[@dragonairphotography9775]

Yes, please. Do the helpful thing with the tips. They are helpful. Thank you Tiny Elvis!

[@dancartlidge5202]

I think it's a GREAT idea to have creator business cards on hand at all times....which I do....you handled this situation very well.

[@KenHeron]

Thanks Dan!

[@rarbiart]

the little elvis on your gps is funny. i just have one telling me the different local regulation in terms of limits for speeds, intoxication and light regulation during daytime driving. (they, they differ from european state to state) And yes, having some kind of "special busines card" handy while droning is helpful. it shorts lots of discussions, even those when in comes to spelling youtube channel names and other social media addresses.

[@TheMykell361]

The Osprey footage was top notch.

[@KenHeron]

Thank you.

[@waylon1971]

clickbait much?

[@vfam825]

and stupid loud music, terrible

[@EquipmentReviewer]

Thumbs down.

[@purrrrson]

Yeah, whenever I come upon a video with click bait in the title, I make sure I remember that channel's name and avoid it in the future. I don't appreciate having my time wasted on some boring ass video. Who knows, they may have some really good and interesting videos but I'll never see them. I won't get fooled by click bait more than once on any given channel.

[@joblessalex]

@@purrrrson I just flag it. We need more people to start flagging videos like this as misleading. Eventually they'll start getting taken down and people won't do that shit.

[@probablynotmyname8521]

Agreed and maligns a couple of curious friendly folks.

[@bluegrassdroneguy3495]

Thanks for the tip Ken

[@KenHeron]

You're welcome!

[@peteelite73]

Ive watched a few vids of yours and i must say very interesting and very bloody funny 😁 look 👀 both ways had me lol 😂

[@charlitime]

Yeah Ken the shortcuts are very helpful

[@KenHeron]

Great! I'll endeavor to do more.

[@3000gtwelder]

I admit it is kinda freaky sometimes when people come up and start asking you questions, and they are kinda deadpan or sedate when they talk to you and you can't quite get a feel where they are coming from for a few seconds, but I really don't see any real "Confrontation" here lol. I guess Encounter fits the bill though. I've had people try to follow me home! After I was flying at a local Community collage once late in the day when it was empty, and a security guard came out and told me I could not fly there unless I had permission, and It was ok to fly out near the entrance at another spot. He was really nice, and interested in my drones and we talked a bit as I packed up my gear, and then he walked back inside. Just as I was getting in my car to leave, some guy came speeding up to me and got out and began to question me. He took his shirt off and began to start acting aggressive toward me, and puff himself all up as it were lol, but by then I was already in my car talking to him as I was starting my car to leave. Just then another guy got out of a smaller pickup truck and proceeded to try to block my way buy standing in front of my car and putting his hands on my hood and trying to hold my car there lol. I told him to get his hands off my car as I slowly started to pull forward, he finally got the idea and got out of the way, but the other guy was still trying to get my name, telling me he worked for the Collage. As I pulled away I could here the other one with long greasy black hair yelling at the one with no shirt to follow me. I calmly drove to a friends used car lot down the street, and proceeded to pull in. Thees guys gave me the fingers pointing at the eyes thing and said we are watching you, we know where you live crap lol. I just pointed and laughed and said are you stupid? This is a used car lot as they drove off. Sorry for long post : )

[@phillipcsandoval9094]

Magic Smoke FPV , Oh wow, you handled the situation perfectly! It’s very sad to know that there are people in this world like the ones you encountered, but we just need to always be ready and be aware of our surroundings for potential zombies... if you know what I mean:) Thank you for sharing your encounter with those zombies:) next time have a fire thrower or a customer zombie machete:) anyway... lol! God bless!

[@richardb6309]

Man... People feel it's there duty to mess with us camera drone peeps. I've been questioned by police on WHAT THE ACTUAL LAWS are. Yet Joe blow off the street comes in telling me he'll "shoot it down if it comes near his property". There is really no in-between... People are either really interested in watching your drone or they "hate your perv ass cause their Aunt Sallee mae got spied one n da shower un time". Not gonna lie I love shooting my friends and family on the beach with my drones. But I always feel odd when I have my drone on the beach or flying it into position to video my family. Because you know at least some people are thinking... You perv. Lol

[@alexcoblenz3748]

I can tell you put much more effort into this comment than any essay I’ve made at school. Well done

[@phillipcsandoval9094]

Magic Smoke FPV , Does anyone know what are the true laws on flying a quad at night just for fun and taking night footage? Thanks!

[@ucimyy4u]

FAA rules - assuming you're in the U.S. - you cannot fly at night and in the day you must keep your drone within eyesight. Lots more rules too because you know freedom in the good ol U.S. of A.

[@richmond_grichmond6709]

[@KenHeron]

Thank you Rick.

[@DoomerONE]

FANTASTIC TO SEE GARY!!!! Missed him. Okay I'm sorry but the orbit of the tower and sunset were just gorgeous. I still stand in awe of your skill. As for the public, I have had people come up to me while flying and I am always honest and friendly to them. Never had anyone upset (knock on wood). We do have a neighborhood app that people post on. One evening they posted about seeing a drone, people started trying to identify where it came from etc. I responded to all their questions and explained I was practicing for developing my business. I invited them to come and talk to me anytime they see me flying and that I would answer any of their questions. (used my Ken Heron thinking cap there). The responses were all very positive and have never had any issues flying near my home since.

[@rivtoolfan]

Thanks for the tip

[@agent37620]

Your footage is incredible! I’m you’re newest subscriber
