I tried to call and call and call... no answer. HMMMM So I went to the FAA and received clearance for 2 years in the Sioux Falls city limits!
Way easier than calling all the time... but I have my Part 107, so that helps as well.
I almost lost my Mavic of the side of a metal bridge trying to get a great perspective shot while in tripod mode, which is what saved me.

Clearance covered (FAA) , city covered, police covered, last but not least.. wife loves it!
It went perfectly for 20 plus minutes.. forgot to set hover, and shut off return to home at low battery! WHOOPS!
All in all, I should have been in portrait mode more... but it was going a little too...
So to answer a couple of the questions.... I am in Sioux Falls, SD. We have quite the lack of laws that most big cities and states do have.
South Dakota has no drone laws currently
I have cleared it with the local law enforcement (which they have no issues) as well as the city too!
I will not...
If you're looking at running a business with your drone you cannot add it onto a homeowners policy, you have to have a separate business policy with $1 million liability coverage the cheapest I found is $76 a month.
Pros & Cons
So everyone chime in on this one please!
I have been invited by the Chamber to be a part of the St. Patrick's Day parade!
I would like to know what are my issues I will be running into while doing this.
I do have a list of my own, and some ideas to make it run smoothly.
