Well done chaps, very interesting. Kitchener Barracks is being knocked down, well part of it anyway, so this is a good record of how it used to look. I was in Kitchener in the 70s so it holds good memories for me. Thanks.
Fun, that's what it's all about, plus the history & interesting subject matter, you two are quite some characters, and I admire your confidence & guts when flying the drone. Terrific footage, very interesting, guess the barracks will be turned into residential flats! Love your videos, I have a Mavic Pro but worry too much about public opinion so I'm cautious where I fly... Thanks guys
the wall at 09:00 is whats left of the original barracks building, take a look at my video of the demolition of kitchener barracks you can see how much of the wall there is, the wall is listed and the doorway is going to be reopened up as a walkway to the new housing estate, I'm glad they're keeping it cos it does look pretty cool :)
Another great video, great shots of chatham... It's a shame the barracks are coming down but that's the future as they say, let's hope they keep some of it so people can see and know what went on in the past and why..... Keep up the good work, if you think odd people are in Chatham you should visit where I now live......Liverpool......
Very interesting and entertaining video as always. That blocked up monumental doorway you saw looked like an old prison entrance to me - it's very similar to the entrance to the former Bury St. Edmunds Gaol. Great stuff, though.
Great camera work, some really nice shots you got there, timed well with the music. Chatham is a very strange place, I do think the army gear made you stand out a bit walking down Chatham high street, not surprised you had some strange looks! haha
Good Vlog Guys....The seagulls bit is funny :-) ... I'd stick to the countryside with that gear on you get allsorts of people having a go at you if you stand out from the crowd... personally I think the explore clothes look cool!
"Onwards... to Chatham!" That sounded like dialogue from one of those great old movies, possibly one featuring Doctor Syn. I had to comment before watching all of the vlog, as that phrase made me smile.
I wonder what will be done with the barracks? Possibly affordable housing? Great explore, thanks for posting! Cols? It is 5 degrees F in my corner of the world.
Hi Ian, what drone you currently got is it the DJI 3? I've got the DJI 4 and I've never really had any issues signal. I'm planning on going to drop redoubt to get some drone footage soon.
The magnetic interference is usually from wires/ metals under the ground bud. Rebar in concrete upsets it too. When flying in slightly built up areas with the Standard, you can get a bit of signal interference from all the wifi signals. Hope that helps! Keep up the great vids and droning :)
excellent comment and correct for saying so. Additionally, if you get mag error just move it a few feet and try again. Or, simply launch from top of the drone carry case. If you're ever in Orlando FL give us a ring we fly drones quite a bit😊
That old building just frontage left ,was the barracks social club built for the welfare of squaddies ,.It was built to keep them out of Chatham,which had a terrible reputation at the time.
I'm just so pleased you use 60 frames per second for your videos. All too many people use jittery old 24 or 25 FPS, meaning you can't see much when the camera is moving. Even 30 FPS is pretty bad. 50 or 60 is so much better. Television has been 50 fields per sec since the 1930s so I don't know why anyone would use anything less. Keep up the good work!
Ive not commented before but really like the way you put these videos together. Have you ever thought of creating some in a cinematic widescreen format with your drone footage I think it would give a lot of atmosphere to your work. Keep up these great videos.
Get yourself a little Linear Amplifier and a higher gain aerial you will need a LiPo to power the amplifier but with this you should eliminate your receiver problems. Just don't take off or land near to your transmitter as it might damage the receiver in the drone.
Another great video guys, The history and discovery channel need to sign you guys up. And Where did you get those combat smocks from I really want one 😃😃
DJI no fly zones and update the IMU....you really need to read the bmfa and caa guideline regarding quad flying. you're breaking every guideline by flying over populated areas. also PLEASE get insurance...join the BMFA.
Tony J Only Guidelines. If your going to do illegal activity with your drone your hardly going to try and get public liability insurance for it from the BMFA.... It will be the few that ruin it for the masses but their is nothing we can do about it. Drones will be banned at some point in the future.
Tony J Yeah I know where to fly but most don't. I used to be in the BMFA but it's a waste of time. I was cringing while watching this video. flying over a busy roadway is a no no... If people are not going to follow any laws they are not going to join the BMFA.... Flying drones will get banned at some point as to many irresponsible people have them....
The wall you speak of at 9 minutes used to be the old Buckley Institute or the Soldiers Institute (later mens NAAFI) and old NAAFI Staff Quarters. It was demolished in the late 60s early 70s and the front wall retained to form part of the perimeter wall for the barracks. Here's a bit of info on it: www.kenthistoryforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=13206.0 Great video as always mate.
I was based there in 2004 and loved Chatham. There was rumours of an old hospital under the car park but the entrance was concreted up so never got a chance to have a mooch!
Might want to think of this video next time you fancy catching your phantom by hand... ua-cam.com/video/B_Kym0e5J7M/v-deo.html Like your videos but think this one should have been thought through a bit. Hope you have some form of insurance (BMFA)& have read the terms. You might have been ok but if someone was watching you while driving things might not have worked out so well for them.. Your actions are what gives drone flying in general a bad image. Guess you got lucky this time..
ILLEGAL DRONE FLYING? Yes. Air Navigation Order 2016 No. 765, PART 5, CHAPTER 4, Article 95 "(1) The person in charge of a small unmanned surveillance aircraft must not fly the aircraft in any of the circumstances described in paragraph (2) except in accordance with a permission issued by the CAA. (2) The circumstances referred to in paragraph (1) are- (a)over or within 150 metres of any congested area; (b)over or within 150 metres of an organised open-air assembly of more than 1,000 persons; (c)within 50 metres of any vessel, vehicle or structure which is not under the control of the person in charge of the aircraft; or (d)subject to paragraphs (3) and (4), within 50 metres of any person. (3) Subject to paragraph (4), during take-off or landing, a small unmanned surveillance aircraft must not be flown within 30 metres of any person. (4) Paragraphs (2)(d) and (3) do not apply to the person in charge of the small unmanned surveillance aircraft or a person under the control of the person in charge of the aircraft. (5) In this article, “a small unmanned surveillance aircraft” means a small unmanned aircraft which is equipped to undertake any form of surveillance or data acquisition."
Even if it had not been illegal, then flying next to that road would have been stupid, particularly as they had previously had problems with the IMU ( Inertial Measurement Unit). Just because someone wants to get "decent footage" does not absolve them of common sense and a responsibility not to endanger property or other people. It is precisely because of such idiotic acts that there is a backlash against flying of UAVs which is likely to result in even more controls on what at present is legitimate use. The idiots, of course, will continue to ignore common sense and the law and fly irresponsibly and/or illegally.
In the UK the Air Navigation Order is the law, not a regulation, not an opinion. It specifically covers the use of UAVs carrying cameras. Feel free to break the law if you want but be prepared to accept the consequences.
Well done chaps, very interesting. Kitchener Barracks is being knocked down, well part of it anyway, so this is a good record of how it used to look. I was in Kitchener in the 70s so it holds good memories for me. Thanks.
Always happy to see a new video from you. Please keep up the great work.
Brilliant video footage. Loved the Drone part on the path. Well done lads. Look forward to seeing you Friday
I think secret vault was walking round that the other night?
Outstanding work and wow nice drone flying over that road way that was certainly impressive.
Fun, that's what it's all about, plus the history & interesting subject matter, you two are quite some characters, and I admire your confidence & guts when flying the drone. Terrific footage, very interesting, guess the barracks will be turned into residential flats!

Great work! I look forward to my 2 weekly sessions. Thank you!!
Thanks Ian and Chris for another good vlog, great drone flying sir.
Here's the wall @9 mins when it was still intact - www.flickr.com/photos/22124479@N03/5452943867
Those drones capture some lovely views, I've got to get one. great vlog as always guys.

Again, love the drone footage. Had us holding our breath on the landing 😳 Great vlog!
Great camera work, some really nice shots you got there, timed well with the music. Chatham is a very strange place, I do think the army gear made you stand out a bit walking down Chatham high street, not surprised you had some strange looks! haha
Good Vlog Guys....The seagulls bit is funny :-) ... I'd stick to the countryside with that gear on you get allsorts of people having a go at you if you stand out from the crowd... personally I think the explore clothes look cool!
Another great video, have you considered guided tours of some of these sites to selected subscribers.
"Onwards... to Chatham!" That sounded like dialogue from one of those great old movies, possibly one featuring Doctor Syn. I had to comment before watching all of the vlog, as that phrase made me smile.
Haha, pwnd by the bird man. I enjoy the vids tremendously, thx
noticed your smile at dock rd. 😉 nice vlog guys!
yipeeee!! thanx 4 the post oh man drone will clear sea gulls:) chatsman were you were..........
Very good video, keep up all your hard work and effort..
I wonder what will be done with the barracks? Possibly affordable housing? Great explore, thanks for posting! Cols? It is 5 degrees F in my corner of the world.
superb drone footage, really impressed with the IQ of the video it produces.
HAHAHA that bloke that fed the birds? bit of an oldball lol. oompa loompa from willy wonka?
great video again chaps keep them up
Great work fellas, lovely old building, is that loopholes in the barrack wall @ 10:18 or just vents??
great footage of Chatham,well done
just saying........ rucksack......beards...........army clothes haha love the channel IKS
Hi Ian, what drone you currently got is it the DJI 3? I've got the DJI 4 and I've never really had any issues signal. I'm planning on going to drop redoubt to get some drone footage soon.
What are thw white humps at the rear? Look like tents from a distance, but not, obviously.
excellent video guys
Your gonna need your hat for this arctic blast we're about to get!
Little blast from the past popped up in my feed....oh how the equipment has changed....
great stuff as always

Funny stuff gents...and another good vid! :))
Congrats on 50k
Magic stuff. Thanks again.
Does anyone know the background to the fenced area with a red sign reading, area prohibited by official secrets act? Sounds interesting!
Usually pretty good with barracks, but I have no idea what that building on the fence was.
That old building just frontage left ,was the barracks social club built for the welfare of squaddies ,.It was built to keep them out of Chatham,which had a terrible reputation at the time.
I wanted to see Drone Vs Seagulls
Knowing Chatham seagulls, they'd probably try to shag it.
Neat vid guys, must really be something going down in that place if there is dogs patrolling. At least it will keep the taggers away. atb
Could that telephone/ wifi exchange box be your interference just before the barracks?
its attack of the birds lol im early one jour ago thanks for another really cool video guys
I'm just so pleased you use 60 frames per second for your videos. All too many people use jittery old 24 or 25 FPS, meaning you can't see much when the camera is moving.

There you go Ian some opening shots for Tales of the Gull lol
Lol love that comment referring back to the other previous video.
Ive not commented before but really like the way you put these videos together. Have you ever thought of creating some in a cinematic widescreen format with your drone footage I think it would give a lot of atmosphere to your work. Keep up these great videos.
Reminds me of Alfed Hitchcock's movie "The Birds", with all of those seagulls. LoL
+Pete Ciallella lol
i see u guys up by jacksons field. i was guna come say hi but u seemed quite preoccupied lol. great vids anyway keep them comming
great video injoy ed it 😁
Get yourself a little Linear Amplifier and a higher gain aerial you will need a LiPo to power the amplifier but with this you should eliminate your receiver problems. Just don't take off or land near to your transmitter as it might damage the receiver in the drone.
The drone work near military complexes as they have jammers for that stuff.
Yeah was in a bit of a rush to post it, But yeah its jammed on working barracks but not unoccupied ones. Sorry :/
Great video, what camera did Chris buy? Does he have a channel?
great vid guys, hope you managed to re calibrate the imu ok.
+The Hampshire Flyer it did sort it self out, but might redo it from fresh next time :)
Is that all up for demolition?
thats me thats me, thx for the mention mate! finally lool....
Nice video.. which drone are you using
I know this is probably an odd question but, what camo pattern is your jacket? Is that DPM?
+Rock Lick Ranch Belgian army :)
The metal in the tunnels beneath was probably what was causing the magnetic interference with the drone folks
nice vid, enjoyed that 👍
How do you keep the camera so steady. Name , Type cost etc. mush appreciated.
+Martin Borman Sony Action Camera has amazing stabilisation :)
Thanks for that information. I will look into this right away.IKS Exploration
was your firend in the British army or whatever you guys call it lol
Another great video guys, The history and discovery channel need to sign you guys up. And Where did you get those combat smocks from I really want one 😃😃
+Richard Bartlett eBay mate :)
Thanks mate ile have a look😃
Amazing video mate ;) will there be a 50K special?
How could you drive past a shop called Persian Rugs World and not go and explore? I mean it's an entire planet of rugs from Persia!
hi ian i was wondering what drone is it you have ? the video footage from it is allways really good
I have the dji phantom 3 standard :)
many thanks for your reply ian love the videos btw ;)
DJI no fly zones and update the IMU....you really need to read the bmfa and caa guideline regarding quad flying. you're breaking every guideline by flying over populated areas. also PLEASE get insurance...join the BMFA.

glenwoofit no insurance will pay out if your flying outside these guidelines.... if an ESC was to go down or throw a prop....be safe
Tony J If your flying over a roadway and cause a crash the BMFA will say piss off
glenwoofit the few will ruin it. I'm a RC pilot B cert and an BMFA examiner...I love flying my quad.. the few will fuck it up for RC models too
Tony J Yeah I know where to fly but most don't. I used to be in the BMFA but it's a waste of time. I was cringing while watching this video. flying over a busy roadway is a no no... If people are not going to follow any laws they are not going to join the BMFA.... Flying drones will get banned at some point as to many irresponsible people have them....
fun as always 👍
My son live in Stroud and we offered go on walkabouts so much history there
Great video....be careful with that drone mate
Awesome views though mate
What is Chris's channel?
Bob Smith It's Chris.Stacey IKS Exploration
What drone are you using?
+Paul Skinner dji phantom 3 Standard
Great video guys, i do wish people wouldnt feed the gulls they are a mennace
Nice drone footage to watch given that somehow they were allowed to knock down this historically important building for housing
12:47 Wow, words fail me......
That guy is called Cliff!

I was based there in 2004 and loved Chatham. There was rumours of an old hospital under the car park but the entrance was concreted up so never got a chance to have a mooch!
I was born in Chatham! Mostly harmless
good one folk!
The fella feeding the birds is a local window licker, he defiantly did it on purpose
Awesome vlog famz... im loving the drone shots I just started vlogging myself and
im
looking for feedback
Wow the pictures, of the drone so what of horny.
Wish you a nice Tu
esday and a nice week,
Greetings ,
Matthias
oh yea its a quadcopter...not a drone
A quadcopter is a drone...
C&S Aviation beg to differ there.. I just hope Ian takes note and stops flying in unsafe locations...for his own safety and protection...
lmao that music... same as the "my playhouse" channel, then again slim pickens dew to copyright free music
amagiccarpet gaming check out the NCS channel,it's all non copyright music free to use on your videos 👍
see gull hunting any one?
at beggining ok

I have fun at parties
I have fun flying my Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
I just don't break the law doing either

I would rather be boring than cause a possibly fatal accident.
