Autel Evo 2 Pro Drone Flight Around The Tower of The Americas in Downtown San Antonio Texas

The Tower of the Americas is a 750-foot (229-meter) observation tower-restaurant located in the Hemisfair district on the southeastern portion of Downtown San Antonio, Texas, United States. It was the tallest observation tower in the United States from 1968 until 1996, when the Las Vegas Stratosphere Tower was completed. The Tower is the tallest building in San Antonio, and it is the 30th-tallest building in Texas.

The Tower is located in the middle of the former HemisFair '68 site and has an observation deck that is accessible by elevator for a fee. There is also a lounge and revolving restaurant at the top of the Tower that provides panoramic views of the city.

We made good use of that 6K camera on the Autel Evo 2 Pro drone and it's ability to zoom in from a distance, to get some really close up shots where you can see the tourists on the observation deck inside. We did not see anyone inside that observation deck pointing in the direction of the drone, so we must have been successful in staying anonymous. If you were up in the Tower between 6pm and 7pm CDT on March 15th, let us know if you spot yourself in this video.

We are a certified Part 107 commercial drone pilot. Flight plans were filed prior to all flights. While Recreational Pilots are restricted by the FAA regulations to not flying above 400ft, Part 107 pilots can fly up to 400ft above a structure, if within a certain radius distance. This (flight) had been on our bucket list for several years, but we just now made the time to get er done!

We flew the Autel Evo 2 Pro drone, recording in 4K / 30fps. Video Editing software was Wondershare Filmora X. Music was from Epidemic Sound.
