This is a channel for our MultiGP Chapter, Heart of America FPV. We promote "first person view" drone racing in the central part of Missouri. For more information visit: www.HeartOfAmericaFPV.com
Thank you for this video. I had to replace my screen after it fell off the work bench and the screen broke. Very easy to do and took less than 10min. Saved me from buying a new one and the screen was 20 dollars.
Cool story! A guy I work with, who is a volunteer FF) who knew I flew drones called me once to help his department look for a elderly gentleman that had walked away from his house. The deputies and EMS found him before I could. But like you said there are opportunities for people who fly these very cool aircraft.
That’s awesome you could help that way. Personally I would have maintained a little higher altitude and/or speed on that blind corner to avoid knockdown, but hindsight, you know? If I get certified being a volunteer for my local PD is definitely an interest of mine as well.
Great story it was awesome. To bad the good stories do not make the news much. I usually only here bad stories about drones on the news, and they are almost always inaccurate. Blame the drone and pilot without any real facts, and never follow-up to let you know it was something else other than a drone. Love the story.
I would never promote surveillance drones for law enforcement. We are spied on enough. You think these cops don’t abuse this? You better guess again. This guy and his views are one of the problems with this country.
WOW this was crazy!! I would have been shaking like a leaf flying that quad! But that's what racing on the main stage teaches you to calm your nerves! Great job bud! Thanks Shawn!
Hey bud! I looked for an email for you but couldn't find one. I plan on sharing a few seconds of this amazing video on my livestream tonight. I will of course link your video in the description. If you don't want me to share, please let me know here: kenheronupload@gmail.com Thank you and great flying!
I really can't say enough about this. I have a similar story, having demo'd some drone capabilities for a friend on a local police force a few years back. I showed him some high altitude footage then did a whoop tour of my house, entering through a small window opening. He was fully convinced of the merits of these capabilities and the force immediately assembled a drone division with my friend as Captain. In the time since they have served countless warrants via drone. Quite often the guy is in the attic, often times armed, but pretty much every time surrender themselves as soon as they see the drone. Like its just something they just weren't prepared for. It is not lost on anyone that this has avoided countless shooting situations and greatly diffused the risk to both officers and suspects. They are fully committed and expanding their fleet of drones and pilots on an ongoing basis. Just this July 4th I was invited for a visit while they had multiple surveillance drones monitoring a street fair, a traffic situation and keeping safety watch over the launch area for their local fireworks display. So you really can't understate what an asset drones are to law enforcement for safety, efficiency and rapid response. You did great work here and great job raising awareness too.
I really appreciate this vid. Kinda stopped flying cuz freestyle felt kinda pointless. If I could HELP ppl with drones I'd def get more flight time in.
That is very cool! Did some training in Florida with some Green Beret's and Rangers. We taught them how to fly tiny whoops and the used them in training on breaching a house . They really loved them and were amazed how useful such a small inexpensive drone can be so helpful. Sign me up! I would definitely do some of this kind of flying. Let me know if anyone in Alabama is interested. There definitely needs to be some kits made for law enforcement.
