The day of I was freaked out at the police and Port Authority presence on premises.
I wanted to fly but did not want to lose my drone doing it.
My cousin also got into the game and he approached the police right away and just laid it out for them.
Their reaction was that they had no problem with it. They looked over our equipment to see what it was but beyond that they didnt give us any restrictions other than not flying in the same location at the same time.
He had more batteries than I had so he was at the better part of the course and I took the other end.
The experience was amazing on its own. We had press passes for access to certain areas. So we were with all the photographers and they couldnt stop coming over to look behind our backs as we filmed the entire thing from the air.
I could tell the photogs could see the new horizon from what they were seeing with our footage.
The police didnt roust us one bit. They let us do our thing.
Will absolutely be looking to do this again for another event. Will get some more batteries for the next one.
