I have an idea for a series of drone videos in California and wouldn't mind hooking up with any locals that might want to join me. I do not yet have the Mavic though I do have an Inspire 1 Pro that I plan to take as well. I'm actually based in the Salt Lake City area and assuming I get the Mavic within the next 3 weeks or so my plan would be to travel to CA in late November or early December.
My particular interest is to shoot drone video of the trains in the area near the Techapi Loop and possibly Cajon Junction as well. I have other things I want to shoot as well but it's the trains that might benefit from having several teams to cover a larger area. My idea is to follow a train for perhaps 20 miles from a bit before Caliente to beyond the loop near Cable. I think to properly do this so that there's 100% coverage would require 3 teams so that team 1 could shoot his section then skip sections 2 and 3 and move to 4 -- otherwise it would be unlikely to be able to move to the next location in time to catch the same train.
