Hey everyone!
Over the past month I have gotten fairly decent at flying my Phantom. Enough so that I would love to get into making some money with my new hobby.
I read the FAA regulations about drones.
Under 400 feet
not over crowed areas
No commercial use
I understand that being hired to take pictures or record video with the drone is considered breaking the rules because it's now commercial use.
However, I have heard from multiple people that you can get around it (at least for the time being) by not charging for the video but rather the editing in post production.
I read this is how the guy from www.GotAerial.com has gotten away with it for so long and is currently making a living at it.
What do you guys think?
Thanks!
Jeff
