This was one of the neatest drone videos I have seen!
Remember Ken, the FAA says it isn't a great idea to fly your drone into fireworks. They also say Remote ID IS a great idea. I'm not sure the FAA understands what a great idea is. I do however know this is a great video. That fireworks guy was awesome and so were the firefighters for helping out.
This is ken Ken’ does what he like 🔥
That was just being stupid. Rules are meant to protect us from stupid.
@@buttcrack7784go Fuckin cry
@@buttcrack7784 The FAA does not allow drones to fly over fireworks. Ken in the video is in violation of FAA rules.
I just remembered another favorite video of his. I wish that when I was fat dumb and happy years ago that we could have done it. That was when they had the Roman candle on a drone flying at people.
That is the coolest drone video I have ever seen. Hopefully, no one with PTSD was watching
👍🏼 Ken always manages to make me smile with each and every video.
A born storyteller and lo-fi comedian.
And…. Don’t underestimate his choice of eye candy talent.
Thanks as always.
☺️👍
Ha reminds me of when i was learning to fly fixed wing. Flying at my local college i lost connection and crashed on top of a building next to the field. I asked the local fire department and they also decided they needed ladder training for the new guy. They didnt hesitate to help.
"100'.. 100'... 100'...... [drone hits the dirt] ..ope, you're on the ground O_O" 😂 time to find a new VO lol
As a Part 107 Pilot AND someone who sets up and fires commercial 1.3 shows for one of the largest fireworks companies in the country, I would NEVER think of doing this! There are simply too many variables that are out of anyone’s controls. From an artistic standpoint, the glowing green drone lights are insanely distracting from the fireworks. It steals the focus and that is a disservice to the fireworks show designers. The company I fire for actually has fireworks AND drone shows together. They don’t replace but enhance each other. The only way I would fly such a mission was if it was a rehearsal show without public viewers (which would be expensive and very rare) and I was using what was equivalently a disposable drone. If even a small 3” shell would hit the drone before bursting it could destroy the drone AND be hazardous to the trajectory of the shell as well. Glad you got out as safely as you did. It could have been MUCH worse.
He doesn’t lol
Thats what makes Ken Heron ... Ken Heron!!
@@kellark lol… a lesson for us all.
This is so awesome! I hope people know how difficult this is. Great job!
thank you for having the fire truck in the backround of most clips
Kudos to you ken for going about it the professional way. And kudos also to the firemen who helped you to recover your drone, It's really comforting to know that compassionate law enforcement is still alive. I tried the very same thing last night with my avata and I give you props because even with the avata in auto mode it was kinda hard to keep my bearings without reference points much less a fully built drone without all the safety systems.
Flying a drone *INTO* fireworks -- that is so kool!!! 😀
I always wanted to do this but crashed my P3 back in the day in the process. I thought the O3 air unit you could turn on altitude on the OSD in beta flight. Awesome 😎 Ken 👍🏻 oh 😮I think you embarrassed Jennifer 😊
Back in the day I flew my Phantom 4 into fireworks just like this any burned my sensor - pixels were dead and daylight footage had red blue dots everywhere. Hope this doesn't happen to yours.
Thanks for risking your drone to get those awesome shots of the fireworks, many of them from inside the explosions. Sorry your crash, but I’m glad the drone wasn’t damaged. And great tips on how to shoot fireworks safety. Great video Ken, and thanks for sharing.
Nice that they were so kind to help you out. Great shots of the fireworks. Enjoyed this video.
Looooove it, nice video Ken.
Awesome video Ken!!! Well done sir and thank god the Fire Department was there to help!
Just like I said this morning yours supersedes mine. Awesome video Ken!!
Very cool Ken! I've always wanted to do that but this 4th I'm going to go straight up with my Avata and record 360* of thousands in our subdivision/plus send out fireworks. Wish me luck!
Thanks Ken,love the vid's, Live Long and Prosper.
You're a brave man Ken, wow!
Its amazing all those people were willing to help and work with ya. The firework people, the firemen. Awesome
Oh man Ken, you Rock!! That was awesome on every level. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow 😮😂 crazy Ken did it again lol 😂. Awesome fireworks.
So much fun. Thank you so much for sharing this video. Hope you have a great 4th of July. Blessings 🙏
What a great way to watch fireworks. There’s a scene showing the firetruck and the flag, then panning up to the fireworks. Great stuff. “Inside” the fireworks really looked like a CGI recreation - amazing seeing this really be done.
Very well done Ken . . . . Great safety information. 👍👍👍
Ken, you are the best at coming up with things to use the drone for. Great video. Thanks for sharing!👍👍😃
Great job, glad you got your quad back.
Sure looked like a heap of fun!
It was!
Trippy stuff. As a kid I always tried to get close to the sparkles. Blew a joint off a finger one fourth with an m-80. Drone is better. Hey, good work on getting video like that. You braver than me.
9:02 maybe if the spotter hadn’t had on sunglasses at night, thus wouldn’t have happened!
Great video, Ken!
She just had eye surgery.
Stunning captures, simply breath-taking.
Awesome!
All the best from Germany!
🇩🇪👍
Nice job Ken, great views! 👍 ... and I think captain Kirk would be proud too 😁
Appreciate this video, because I plan on doing this on Tuesday Night...My family is getting together in the neighborhood and we have a TON of fireworks to shoot off, cant wait to try ripping with my fpv rigs....SO EXCITED!!!!
That was EPIC Ken!! Great job 👍👍
Thanks 👍
Very cool, great tips.
Looks like a good time. Sort of mad you didn't invite me to this one, I would have come out for it. Did you forget that we decided that strobe lights would be best for the landing area? Great coverage. Maybe next year!
So frig'n cool! Man I wish I had your budget for taking chances lol😂 great video, Ken!!!
Awesome footage, very cool for the fire department to rescue the drone!!!
Killer video, thanks for the content.
Totally Awesome Ken !
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for video and for including the careful discussion with the fireworks operators and all the precautions you took to avoid risk to people.
Maybe you saw the video of the drone that flew into the lava fountain in Iceland. It was toasted, so they only got the live feed video.
I did see that Iceland one. Great!
Great vidéo !
From France 🇨🇵
Unbelieveable how friendly the firemen are. Amazing. 😃👍
If it sounds like a bad idea, sometimes it’s still worth trying. Ken you are the man for the job!
Couldn't agree more! Thanks bud.
Brave move using an FPS quad. Definitely a job for a camera drone that stays the right way up. Nice work for trying. We enjoyed it.
The effects looked really amazing and I was watching on my tablet in bed with my head about six inches away, so I can imagine how cool it was for you Ken through the goggles 👍📸🎇🎇🎆🎇🎆🎇🎇
That is so cool they show you their setups and how the firework show is executed. This is so very cools. Is this last years video? In Carson City, NV they haven't even done their show yet till Tuesday. Lake Tahoe should be putting up one hell of a show this 4th of July!
Fire fighters are always cooler then cops.
I loved every second of this video. Showing everyone why drones are so freaking awesome 👏🏽 🔥
Thanks Ken
You are very welcome
I love when you do these videos, amazing. And flyhigh definitely has them dope led's.
always a good tip is having angle mode not only on 1 dedicated switch BUT also have angle mode on the same switch as gps rescue... that way if youre too close for gps rescue to work (such as this case most likely) you can still level out in the event of signal loss or disorientation... and punch it up....
Great video
Amazing Video Ken. This is one of the reasons i LOVE the U.S. You can't do such things only in the United States.. This includes the fantastic support by the fire fighters and the nice firework staff. Happy 4th of July. ✊🤠🇺🇸
☺️👍🇺🇲
Great job Ken. Love your videos and personality. Your gal is a great helper. It's amazing that the quad wasn't shot out of the sky. Did the glass lens get pitted from the sparks???
Thanks!
No damage at all from the fireworks.
cool video ken
Thanks Ken, I’ve launched a few nights with the fireworks going off but never had the opportunity to be up close and in the middle of it. Thanks
🇺🇲👍
Wow, amazing footage. You really do push your drone flights to new levels. I would love to do something like that, but only if I had a monetized UA-cam channel to help recover the cost in the event of damage. Not sure how I would explain that to DJI Refresh ... "well, I was flying and wanted to get a little closer to the fireworks and ...."
The quad is perfectly fine. I just floated about 3 minutes ago.
Carbon fiber baby!
You guys make a great team!!
Man that looked fantastic on 1100nit screen. Any chance of a short edit with fireworks and music. Never seen fireworks shot like that, good work!
Ken your videos are always entertaining
I appreciate that
Cool🎉Thanks
Amazing. Seemed like a combat plane flying above enemy anti-air fire.
Great video.
I see this video and wonder how far away from fireworks I legally need to be to fly my drone and record the show? Way cool, Ken!
My phantom four works great in low light. I’ve had many more drones but I always go back to the Phantom for great photos.
Totally agree!
The good ol' P4P is awesome.
So cool
Spectacular!
Awesome
Great job- cool!
So fun Ken 😊 DJI 1 vr tried that at a race track doing fireworks 💥 didn’t think I was gonna make it back 😮😂✌️
Yeah but Ken - you got some AWESOME video before you crashed!!!
Wow!!!! Tres’ impressive!!!!’
Foreshadowing indeed. It does help to fly lit!
When you can not tell up from down, that's time to flip the switch to angle mode ! I did not think about that, nor switching to flying my mini 2, nor put my lume cube on top, nor tilt the camera down.... and lost my Nazgul Evoque......in the Nevada desert. The 3 of us spent about 8 combined hours looking without any luck. Ok, you said that at the end about angle mode. Well, for me, I lost 2 quads last year and 2 planes this year. 3 of them were operator error !
That looks COOL But scary that you’re going to lose it
I tried taking video with my avata of fireworks had it ready to go, and that’s when I realised that it needed an update and it wouldn’t let me take off lol. It was only a little show and I knew that I wouldn’t get it done in time. Next time I know to get ready way in advance. I think you did alright going through those flashes of light from the fireworks and you got some great footage.
Thanks David!
Be careful with the Avata. Even little fireworks can knock that rascal out of the sky. 🤓
@@KenHeron , I wasn’t going to try going right through them like you did Ken, I just wanted to get the fireworks from a different perspective, namely from up in the air lol.
I have a mini 1 sitting in the shelf that hasn’t been used in years. I always thought it needs to be awaken and “put down” with a bang! Something creative to put her to rest! May have to try it.
So cool! Those were some amazing shots!! I don't think there's a show where there isn't a no fly zone where I live unfortunately, and don't you have to have a waiver to fly a drone at night or something. lol Yeah I still fly analog so maybe one of those special night vision cameras would be amazing for this type of thing, sucks only could do it once or twice a year even if you find a show that would be cool with it.
I always fly with an artificial horizon and sidebars...and have a working osd. I think that'd help a lot for a show like this as well.
No waiver needed to fly nights anymore with part 107.
@@kurtzFPV hmm, its on my practice tests, weird. Ok I need to look that up...what about recreational?
@@maddercat You can get approval through LAANC just like any other approval in real time as part 107. I have done it multiple times. I do not believe you can without the part 107 though.
Crazy & excelente!
Funny I was just debating about this in the car and as soon as I got h9me it was the first thing on my feed 😳
Great video! I wish my town would let me fly through their fireworks show. Maybe I'll ask.
I like how you used your visual observer to help you monitor your altitude. Very important in certain situations.
Absolutely amazing!
Don’t you love the impromptu training sessions? Thank your local fire- they do more than you know…. With that said, the shoot was beautiful. I trust that all safety variables were checked! Thanks Ken, keep ‘em coming
Our local fire department is pretty awesome. Glad you like the video!
AWESOME VID Ken! Even with the crash. Can't wait to fly into a fireworks display. What's your thoughts on using an Avata?
I think the Avata might be too small.
It also has really really bad low light capabilities.
@@KenHeron Thanks for the great advice. I've got a Mavic 3, not an FPV though. BTW, I GOTTA build me a quad like yours. That's my goal...
Nice job man,unfortunately my quad smoked a motor last night before the fireworks so had to fly the mini3 pro instead.
That. Was. AWESOME!!!
Thank. You.
2:08. Mark. WOW
AWESOME.
KEITH
That was kool thumbs up
I was out filming fireworks on the fourth too! One of the kids asked me what would happen if I flew through the fireworks, but I wasn’t courageous enough to do it :D now I know!
🇺🇲🤘
Great video Ken
At least your plans didn't go up in smoke!
I don't know, you always tell people "it's not a good idea to shoot drones down!", but every 4th July that turns into "What the hell man, you can shoot all kinds of s#!÷ at me man....!" 🤷♀️
Such an awesome adventure
It was indeed
$400 flashlight!!??? 👀 I hope the channel continues to do well. I do enjoy your videos.
It is pricey but very well built and super bright.
But that footage! That was pretty sweet.
Glad you liked it!
Really awesome footage. That is so fun. I see below that he had permission from the fireworks people.... but my understanding was you aren't supposed to fly at night... unless have a 107 and your drone has lights that can be seen for N miles? Is it safe to assume that is why his drone was so easy to see in the sky - extra bright lights?
done that!!! throwing care to the wind!!
I don’t believe you’re leds are brighter then the fire works 🤟hella Dope
I flew through the middle of fireworks a few years back, but it was unintentional. I had a Lichi mission programmed, and they changed the location of where they were setting off the fireworks, which I didn't know.
