If only I was in that area more often. Every time it seems I'm there I have a tight schedule. If I lived in those apartments near there I would love to fly one over almost every day to see the changes. I would love to see someone who's there post some regular updates. These drones can provide some very detailed shots.
Yeah I guess they could maybe do that. I can't see them caring about people posting footage from legal flights over their property though. I don't think I've ever heard of Bioreconstruct being banned from any parks. Like I said if I were nearby I would probably do it once a week. I'm surprised someone hasn't stepped up in the area to provide some regular updates like that. It would be great to analyze all the little details, especially when things start to get more interesting than just dirt.
Yeah I would suspect they would be a little pushy about strange behavior around the parks. This new site I think would be much easier to shoot. There's also plenty of public areas around the property to launch and land from. I think really though as long as your not doing anything wrong I don't think they would care. I saw Tim Tracker posted some aerial footage a while back I think he's done it a few times and he's still getting invited to media events.
Wasn't he taking photos over construction walls or something? I think taking aerial photos from public spaces is perfectly fine and doesn't cross any lines. Even the major local news networks do that. Yeah right now there's little change, but I think pretty soon a lot will be happening every week.
I wonder if Bio will end up on the same list.
My concern with flying a drone over the new property is the close proximity to Lockheed Martin.
On the Lockheed Martin website, this is the map to show their location. Interesting tag on the Universal property.

There's no flight restrictions pertaining to Lockheed Martin as far as I can see on the maps. The only thing is two advisories nearby Airports which are presumably heliports.
There is no 500 ft. mark. I think you're referring to their height limit for construction? There is a 400 ft. mark for limitation to flying drones. My only suggestion would be to get a part 107 certificate from the FAA, most of your legal questions would likely be answered in the process. It's not required yet to fly, but would help if you're making money in any way from the photos/videos. Like I said I would love to see some frequent updates from someone who can regularly visit the area!
I believe it was a close up shot of an employee reading from construction plans while he (employee) was sitting on a bench near Springfield, even though photo was taken from a public area. Bottom line, if it's a gray area, it's probably not worth risking and jeopardizing IU's relationship with Universal.
I don't think I ever heard of that. Yeah that is kind of a grey area. I mean there's nothing legally wrong with that obviously. Universal is a private company though, they could ban you just for saying something unfavorable about them on the internet I suppose.
