Update: DJI has finally fulfilled their obligation and YAY! Many common DJI consumer drones are now apporoved for advanced operations UPDATE: "....Transport Canada announced its new regulatory framework for certain types of advanced civilian drone operations in January, requiring the use of...

I believe part 107 still applies to all UAV's operating in US airspace... 107.51 Operating limitations for small unmanned aircraft. A remote pilot in command and the person manipulating the flight controls of the small unmanned aircraft system must comply with all of the following operating...

For something as big as a peak, I personally wouldn't use any 'mode', I would use the classic cinematic techniques like the reveal, the climbing turns, sideways flight, etc. YouTube is a awesome resource for this, just search for "Mavic 4K Cinematic" and watch the floodgates open. Simple tips...
