I'm too far north of the city and we only got about 4 inches. Might be able to sell some footage to the news station.
Would the stations usually pay for that footage?I had a friend in Houston get some nice photos/videos. He is submitting them to the stations now.
Is that a relatively okay way to make some accessory cash? Do stationd reliably buy good footage?I heard of one guy taking photos at a fire. There was a news station there and he sold them photos for $60 a piece on the spot.
This guys is doing it for free.
I cant say for sure. Its worth a shot to email all the local stations and ask them if this is something they want. Then, have them call you when something happens and you already have an agreed upon price.Is that a relatively okay way to make some accessory cash? Do stationd reliably buy good footage?
Thanks! Ever since I got my P3 I have been day dreaming about how to make some cash with it, seems a waste not to!I cant say for sure.

All in all I am not too concerned with the FAA. I would be more concerned if they actually expended valuable resources on a piss ant selling mediocre photos haha!LOL - Ask the FAA if it's OK ;-) In other words, be descreet
I had the same thoughts, plus wind gusts at 300-400 feet have been worrying, though the P3 does not seem to mind.I live in Austin and wanted to take my P3P downtown to shoot some footage of Shoal Creek and the flooding. I decided it was probably safer for me to stay home with my family than drive on the roads. Besides, it kept lightly raining off and on so much that I didn't want to be up flying and have raindrops get in my motors.
I would bet there were some fantastic shots waiting to happen!Technically, I believe they are paying for the rights to broadcast the photos/footage. Depending on the release that's agreed to, you should still own the photo/footage, they just have rights to post it and may request 'exclusive' rights so you don't sell to a competitor. It would have to be exciting footage for that.
Interesting... So as long as I go to film for personal use and happen to sell it to a news station, I would be clear?According to the FAA, if someone wants to buy the footage you made for your own personal use, that is permissible.
