Hi all
I’ve been asked to film a dronie of some colleagues at work who are recording a short, internal only video. The Exec’s do this from time to time to try and engage with the troops. All done tongue in cheek, some sort of amusing skit to try and encourage us to look at things in a different way… could be diversity, inclusion, GLBT or a new customer focused campaign. It’s all voluntary and I would “like” to help, but I’m trying to figure out if it’s worth the risk… there are a lot of factors to consider…
The location they are asking for is here:
From the organiser:
(Idea is to film directly outside the fence of the skatepark, then move back in the park if needed into a more open area for the aerial “Dronie” shot.)
DJI don’t show a no-fly zone but the Drone Assist app shows it’s within the London CTR
It’s near a park so the usual drone safe rules would obviousuly apply
I’d have to do a risk assessment to ensure we’re not flying over or near people
No money or fees involved
We can’t take or land from within any of the Richmond parks, apart from the designated flying area (which is way more than 500m away!) so would have to find somewhere near

You can apply for permission to fly in the parks for commercial use but I really don’t think this would apply as it’s not for “commercial purposes”

This is sliding towards the “too difficult” pile but would appreciate opinions of experienced fliers please…
