That I do, I will be flying this under Part 107 using the Mavic Pro, after editing I will be providing a 1 minute video for the Daytona Beach Chamber of Commerce to use on their website for a promo for next years event. The drone will be flying @ 65' AGL and will be around 10' back from the side walks flying over buildings and the occasional crossing of intersecting streets to meet FAA's (do not fly over groups of people) requirement, camera will be set at -45° interpolation to capture store & bar fronts as well as all the bikes parked along both sides of the roadway. I have authorization from local law enforcement and they are providing a safety officer to facilitate oversight. Got lucky with this as it is just outside the 5 mile restriction of the Daytona International Airport so no waiver required.

Never mind the insurance, I would be more inclined double check my 107 before. Reading posts on here from you guys in the states the authorities are super anal. Be excellent if you get it done though. Will look forward to seeing any footage however shot. Love a good bike fest. Used to ride myself. £999 in the UK for this and commercial work, if you can get it and make it pay.

I thought oh no initially when I read the heading.  A flight plan in consultation with the relevant authorities is the way to do it and showcase sensible drone pilots. I wish you the best of luck with the flight and the results. Will you be using the Mavic Air in addition to other devices?

I will be using the MP for the money shots, always have the MA with me as well, thinking about doing a time lapse of  bikes entering & leaving the event area with the MA, will burn up 3 batteries doing it. I prefer to do still frame time lapses at 3 second intervals, that being said a 30 second time lapse @ 30 FPS will require approximately 900 stills = 20 FPM = 45 minutes Fly time (give or take a few) = 3 fully charged batteries.

Perfect planning indeed, I am really excited now to see the results! :-) Please, please at least a "teaser " still today after the event ;-).

I got around 6-7 hours of editing & color grading to do this week. On the other hand Litchi flew flawlessly, (the fly down Main St. alone was 10 minutes @ 10.5 MPH, the safety officer bumped me up to 90' AGL, he was nervous about some high power lines close by.

Here is just some snips from today. I got around 6-7 hours of editing & color grading to do this week. Video is compressed from 4K/2160p to 1080p and UTube does it no justice. On the other hand Litchi flew flawlessly, (the fly down Main St. alone was 10 minutes @ 10.5 MPH, the safety officer bumped me up to 90' AGL, he was nervous about some high power lines close by.

Be gentle this was a quick snatch & grab!

Wow - looking great so far! Well done!

Thank you all, much appreciated, actually the video was very compressed 1.5 GB > 396 Mbs, just replaced it with the uncompressed version, I think the quality is better.
