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!
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.
Good info for new business owners, I'll add Alignable and Instagram TV. I personally Noted: 1. Toy drones have Gopros ✅ 2. Pinch ✅ Hey, only 7 thumbs down, not bad! Happy New Year, thanks for all the work you do!
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!
I'm a pincher, not a thumber, and I come from a video game background using thumbs on an xbox controller. I became a pincher a couple years back thanks to your videos!
@@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.
@@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
Ken .. just took the course through remotepilot101 based on your suggestion. Couldn't have been more pleased with the instructor and content. Thank you.
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! 🎄
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.
I'm a lifetime gamer, so I default to thumbs and feel that I do pretty well. But Ken keeps bringing this up, so I'm going to give it a shot on my next flight. =-)
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.
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.
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 ...
Hey Ken: I'm now a pincher not a Thumber. I really enjoy your channel not only do you inform everyone on different drone subjects but your what we use to can back in the day " A Wild and Crazy Guy" !!!!! Thanks again Ken! J.R.
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.
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.
42 years flying as a Thumber. Hard to break old habits! Good video! Now if only people will follow the rules. Enforcement will never be effective! I appreciate what you do!
Been a pincher not the thumbees. 15 yrs of flying its the professional way of flying. Index and thumb squared. Great job Ken love the lil guy. Ill be writing to you. Bu bye. Thanks again Ken
I'm only 16 and I already have a dji phantom drone and I am working on getting my FAA drone license. Having my own drone business is my dream so this video is a great help. And I now know that I should wait till I'm 18 to start the business considering most of the things I need to do I have to be 18 to do.
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!
Clearest info on FAA and beginners I've seen! My wife would love a heated steering wheel - she always has the "Tuchas Toaster" on when she drives!!! Oh yeah, Happy New Year!!!!
I'm a thumber and fiercely proud of it. Thumbs up all the way. I tried pinching, but found the tension caused twitching, which lead to less smooth video. I might try thumb writing. Using the thumb and index finger to hold the pen even I can't read my writing.
Thanks for convincing me to sign up for Dronepilot101. I thought I could do it on my own and I may be able to, however, I'll stack the deck in my favor. I only want to take it once. Oh, and I'm a pincher not a thumber!....from day one, thanks to you. Have a great New Year.
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.
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!!!
You're the best Ken.... So pick my name...? Sincerely, as God as my witness Ken, not only have I recieved the best info from you, you do it with such entertainment, you make this new endeavor of drones for me much more exciting to learn... Sincerely..Thankyou, Bryan.
Ken, thank you for saving me $$$. Although I have been studying for the 107 test and felt I could pass the exam, I decided to enroll in your recommend 101 course using your discount code. You bring a humorous presence on the drone subject to your TH-cam channel, informative, accurate, and useful.
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.
this here video got me !! I went thru Remote Pilot 101, and applying for FAA test on Monday, Haven't even received my drone yet, but settled for a Fimi x8 SE for now yabut wanted to be legal right from the gitgo!! I used your link for the Pretest stuff, however I have been to Flight school, back in the 70's and trained in a Cessna 150, and I am a professional photographer for 20 years! thanks!!!
I'm a pincher not a thumber. For real ! I fly turbine RC. Jets as well as drones Ken (200 mph+), and after 50 years of RC flying, it is great to see you promote the PROPER way to fly RC. When doing photography I always use a modified xmitter tray to hold the remote snd crystal sky. Now if I can figure out how to make a turbine drone.......Mitch
I will be a pincher now ! I tell ya that. I have to hand it to ya, that's "simply" awesome. Why haven't I thought of this...I like to think that I have great maneuvering skills with my thumbs but I can't wait to try this out! This penmanship-like grip Ken explains! I am studying now to take my part 107. Think I'll take it in about a week! Looks like I can take it online. Nice! Thank you for all your content!
Glad I found your channel! Great advice, and I'm about to become a pincher not a thumber in the DJI Flight Simulator. Also liked and subscribed. Thanks for the info!
Great stuff Ken, been watching you for many months, finally subscribed. Started flying R/C back in 1986, same now as I was then: I'M A PINCHER NOT A THUMBER!
I use a hybrid stick style. But there are tons of thumbing 3D pilots that will fly precision circles around anyone with any type of aircraft. It's completely about what works best for you.
Thank for you your video I got great inspiration from this video, I have been fascinated with drones since I was 14 now I aspire to create a drone business. PS i am going to practice flying using the pinch method, thanks for the amazing videos and keep up the amazing work
I tried too pinch it it definitely is not for me I guess I will always be a thumber I guess if I'm carefull I can still get precision shots, if my drone business pays off I will try to support this channel as much as I can, thanks for taking the time to speak to me good luck and im excited to see your next video
Good Video ! I agree you have more control by pinching the controls instead of using your thumbs. You should make a whole video just about pinching the control versus using your thumbs. Ken does them larger remote sticks help too. I think I might purchase some to try out.
Great advice Ken, been following you for some time. You give good advice with a sense of humor. I've learned a lot from you over that time. I got my Part 107 (2 months ago) and will start my business this year.
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!

I'm a pincher not a thumper. Actually improved my control. THANKS for all your tips Ken.
Don't forget insurance! :)
