CORONA DEL MAR
DRONE
We've built Daily Grind Media on a simple idea: in high-end markets like Corona del Mar, your content is the single biggest signal of who you are as a business. That's why our drone videography work is produced at a level that compares directly to the best agencies in Los Angeles and New York — delivered locally, on time, and on budget.

02 — Local Market
Why This Market, Why This Agency
Corona del Mar — 'CDM' to locals — is the refined, residential sister city to Newport Beach. Located on a bluff above some of the most beautiful beaches in California, CDM's Pacific Coast Highway village is a tight stretch of boutique restaurants, wine bars, and design shops. The real estate market rivals Newport's in price per square foot. It's a market where business is quiet, personal, and driven by a tight community of generational wealth.
For drone videography specifically, Corona del Mar presents an unusual mix of opportunities and expectations. Clients here are used to seeing world-class work from the boutique hotels, galleries, and restaurants around them — which means your content needs to clear a higher bar from day one.
Our crews have worked around and near Corona del Mar State Beach (Big Corona), Little Corona Beach, Inspiration Point, Sherman Library and Gardens — we know the access patterns, the permit requirements, and the best times of day to shoot each location.
We also regularly produce drone videography work in the neighboring communities of Newport Beach, Laguna Beach — all within the same production day if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you travel to Corona del Mar for drone videography work?
Yes. Corona del Mar is a core market for Daily Grind Media and we shoot there regularly. Travel and on-location setup are included in most project quotes.
How much does drone videography cost in Corona del Mar?
Pricing depends on scope, crew size, and deliverables. Most Corona del Mar projects start at $2,500 for single-day productions and scale up to $25,000+ for full campaign shoots with multi-platform deliverables. We provide a firm quote after a discovery call — no surprise charges.
Are you familiar with Corona del Mar?
Corona del Mar is one of the markets we know best. We've shot at most of the well-known locations (Corona del Mar State Beach (Big Corona), Little Corona Beach, Inspiration Point) and we know the permit, access, and scheduling quirks that make local shoots go smoothly.
Are you FAA certified and insured?
Yes. All of our pilots hold active FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot certifications and we carry $1M in commercial aviation liability insurance on every flight. We also pull airspace authorizations in advance when required.
Can you fly in restricted airspace?
Yes, with advance notice. Many properties in Southern California sit in controlled airspace near airports. We pull LAANC authorizations and file flight plans so legal issues never delay your shoot.
What weather conditions will ground a flight?
Sustained winds above 25 mph, rain, and low visibility ground flights for safety. If weather forces a reschedule, we move the shoot at no additional charge.
