I didn't realized it rotated.. That pretty cool.. I wounder about the mechanics underneath that make it work..... I would imagine somebody's got to keep that thing lubed up...
That was Awesome!!! I wonder how many people actually called and said hey there's a drone outside and I'm 300 feet up in air, oh yeah we gave this guy a promotion it's okay lol haha
Hey Ken. How did you get to 230m ... the ph4 max altitude is 120m... ? EDIT: google wisdom proclaims TOTA is 176m, I'm guessing the restaurant is below 120m? ...
Amazing footage, even with the artifacts ! Thanks for uploading it Ken. I'm going to keep practicing with my P3, so if I am ever granted permission to fly a premium spot like this in a narrow time window I won't be fumbling around...just get her up and start shooting : )
It was built for the World's Fair and do we know for what specific purpose? Radio transmission perhaps? Do we know why they held the World's Fair in San Antonio? Did you get much radio interference during your flight?
So I was in San Antonio last month, and shot my own (P4P) video. I'd like to post it, but (videographer-to-videographer) should I be scared, see'in I was eye-to-eye with the tower as well?
Hey Mike-- I lucked out that day because there was another media event happening and I was able to get permission to fly. Of course that was a while ago, so policy might be different now. I'd ask permission before posting anything, just to be safe. You'd be amazed how open people can be if you just include them. --Happy flying!
Awesome video. Sucks about the sensor. I wonder if the camera sensor is a common or isolated issue. If you don't mind me asking, how do you go about getting permission to film in places like this?
The best way to get permission is to simply ask. You'd be surprised how many people will grant permission simply because you were decent enough to ask.
Thank you Mike!
ho no need to watch againlater youtube still not converted to HD,top class flying first rate,one of the best on youtube
that's awesome that it turns for you get new views while eating!!!!

Nice video Ken. Thanks for sharing
Sure thing Chris!
Great Video Ken!! Really enjoyed this 👍🏻😉
nice job ken . doing a great job
Another great video! Thanks for sharing your vacation with us!! Keep up the great work!
You betcha Jeff!
Very Interesting and Informative Video!
You are a MASTER in using a Drone!
Many thanks Kevin.
That was Awesome!!!
I wonder how many people actually called and said hey there's a drone outside and I'm 300 feet up in air, oh yeah we gave this guy a promotion it's okay lol haha
230 meters = 754 feet
cool
Nice video, I did not see other drones tho. I can't imagine them getting better footage than u.
Wow only 30 meters taller than the masts on the Eos sailing yacht on my channel Ken, brilliant facts
Ken, thats an alien space ship rocket, you know that right?
SHHH!!
---Yes... I got close enough to see the landing gear.
NICE job....
oh any yea lol
Safe Flying
Yet another informative video. Keep them coming. :-) I'm guessing the reason the Phantom 4 is off getting repaired for the failing sensor?
Yes. It's fixed and returning to me as I type this!
great news
I've eaten in tha restaurant. Great experience.
always enjoying your videos, shame about those pixels, have you ever encountered pink/green lines on videos and reason what is causing it?
Thanks! I have no idea what causes those. A failing sensor in the camera most likely.
Ken Heron tnx and once agin, I love your videos, keep it up
Hey Ken. How did you get to 230m ... the ph4 max altitude is 120m... ? EDIT: google wisdom proclaims TOTA is 176m, I'm guessing the restaurant is below 120m? ...
The maximum altitude of the Phantom 4 is 500 meters.
Your go App's default is 120 meters. Simply change the max height to 500.
Good luck!
Beautiful footage Ken! Can you elaborate on who "granted permission" to fly the drone for 20 minutes?
I was sworn to secrecy, but I can tell you the person(s) were wearing uniforms.
"...wearing uniforms." So, uh, the local girls soccer team? :P
Amazing footage, even with the artifacts ! Thanks for uploading it Ken. I'm going to keep practicing with my P3, so if I am ever granted permission to fly a premium spot like this in a narrow time window I won't be fumbling around...just get her up and start shooting : )
Thanks bud!
It actually becomes more fun as your skill level increases!
It was built for the World's Fair and do we know for what specific purpose? Radio transmission perhaps?

You should be fine.
Dang, I missed ya

Many transmitter antennas on this tower, not afraid of signal interferences? Just asking ! Very nice footage, wish I could do as well thanks.
Sniff *homesick*
Which departement did you ask for the permission?
great edit, I've flown my Phantom3 around downtown San Antonio also, who graduated the permission?
when were you here ..? im actually about 2 miles from the tower and downtown San Antonio.
I'm sorry, Ken, but i am from other country. DO you have to ask permission in order to surround the tower, and + free publicity?
Yes. Always get permission.
Awesome footage Ken love it! And here is a drone racing channel I think you would LOVE: ua-cam.com/video/vU9_AizbSw0/v-deo.html
