Free Drone Footage for Nephi Business Owners — Here's Why I'm Offering It
By Dana Hoyt · October 10, 2026 · 4 min read
Hey, Nephi business owners! I've got something I'd like to offer you, completely free.
How this started
A little backstory first. Recently I had the chance to shoot some free drone footage for the City of Nephi during the Mammoth Parade. It was a blast — seeing the whole route, the crowds, and Main Street from a few hundred feet up gives you a different kind of appreciation for this town.
Not long after that, a major news network reached out asking for some local drone footage for an article they were working on. And that got me thinking.
I've got this drone, I enjoy flying it, and there are a lot of great businesses right here in our community. So why not put it to good use?
Here's the offer
If you're a member of the Nephi Chamber of Commerce, I'd love to come out and get some free drone footage of your business — your storefront, your property, your shop on Main, your farm or your fleet. Whatever shows off what you do best.
And I mean completely free. No strings attached, no hidden costs, and I'm not trying to sell you anything.
You'll also be in safe hands: I'm an FAA Part 107 licensed remote pilot, which is the certification the federal government requires for flying drones commercially. I know the rules, I plan the flight, and I fly it responsibly.
Why I'm doing it
Really, my goal is pretty simple. I want to get out, meet more people, build some connections, and get to know the business owners who help make Nephi what it is. The people behind the counters and the shop doors are a big part of why folks want to live here in the first place.
Not a Chamber member yet?
Reach out anyway! If you'd like to become a member, I'd be happy to get you connected with the right people.
Interested? I'd love to meet you.
