Total gray area, videoing my daughter's wedding to get video for our family to enjoyment is totally totally recreational and for my enjoyment, regardless what the FAA says

@RetreadPhoto Месяц назад

Zero gray area. The fact that it pleases you doesn’t mean it’s 100% recreational. Wedding photography is a commercial activity for a reason. Stop being cheap, hire a professional to get good, SAFE, drone video.

@Mark-jb9hx Месяц назад

@@RetreadPhoto Photography is a hobby. There is no difference between taking photos with a DSLR vs a drone at a loved one's wedding. The FAA isn't going to win that one in court. Where they will get you is flying over people. Stop with the alarmist garbage.

@RebelByNature Месяц назад

@@RetreadPhoto Nah, If I take pictures with my digital camera at my daughter's wedding and share with her, that is not a commercial operation and sharing pictures with friends & family taken via drone is no different. Its recreational. Whether someone is being 'cheap' by not hiring a professional is just personal commentary unrelated to the law/faa rule.

Your contorted interpretation of Good Will makes the most sense when you consider you are in the business of selling training. Of course you want to make it seem like just about anything you do with the video of your drone requires you to have a part 107. The Good Will examples you point out are all about helping public organizations such as a school football team, etc. That is far different from friends and family. I suppose next you are going to tell me that if I simply show drone videos to friends & family that a part 107 is required. The friends & family is such an obvious example that if what you say was true the FAA would have made that example explicit if it meant that.

Thank you!!

I have noticed a lot of traditional wedding photographers doing this now. Part of their overall wedding package.

@uavcoach 18 дней назад

It's a great win for both - the bride and groom receive unique footage of their wedding and the photographer can get paid more.

I have 126 spotters . just to be safe

@brandon9689 Месяц назад

Im surprised so many people get part A confised. It says directly participating in the operation, a spotter on your team for example. This doesn't mean you can just fly over a crowd of people because they don't care if they are part of a photo or video.

@RetreadPhoto Месяц назад

A lot of it gets confusing because of the language used in categorized drone rules, which have a different intent.

@markkramer2908 Месяц назад

Great video Ken. Was wondering about loaning one of my registered, sub 250gm. drones to a friend? He has shown an interest in learning so I loaned him a drone. Is he responsible for his flight time or, could it come back on me? I'm really enjoying the "Can I Fly My Drone" series. Thank you

@RebelByNature Месяц назад

videoing a wedding is no different under the law than videoing a family reunion or vacation time at the beach etc. Yes you can't fly directly over people in virtually any circumstance. That does not mean you can not get great video without flying directly over people, which is the same constraint you have in any other circumstance.

@courtneysavage7845 Месяц назад

What about at a car meet but just for fun?

@RetreadPhoto Месяц назад

Doesn’t sound “recreational.”

@RebelByNature Месяц назад

@@RetreadPhoto Is there anything you would not say requires a 107? Seriously, what is your angle? If I were cynical I might think you are a 107 pilot and want everyone to think 107 pilots need to be hired for just about any use of the camera on the drone.

@jesusfelipenarvaezcastillo5622 Месяц назад

Can I fly my drone on Disney World area? It could be a great video

@uavcoach Месяц назад

Thanks for the suggestion!

@RetreadPhoto Месяц назад

No. See the permanent TFR.

@2Bluzin 28 дней назад

Not in your life, Disneyland and World both have big no-fly zones over them, which are technically are temporary but in reality they are permanent. This long before drones were even in the picture.

@benmcminn5081 Месяц назад

Do you need a license if you have cattle or crops?

@creightonholub Месяц назад

Are you "furthering commerce"? This includes having your youtube channel APPLY for monetization. Your question is structured as "I own X, is that a problem?" Which doesn't make sense. What you're likely asking is if you're asking about using your drone for ag uses - which is furthering commerce, so yes you'd need a 107. (I got mine recently) If you're flying purely for fun in the US, then you'd need a TRUST certificate. I got mine from Pilot Institute. Depending on what you're doing with those crops, you might need further licenses! Yes it gets complicated, but that's business!

@RetreadPhoto Месяц назад

Commerce has nothing to do with it. It’s either “100% recreational” or it’s Part 107. Taking free pics for your neighbor or church is not furthering commerce, but is Part 107, because it is not purely recreational. This is a VERY COMMON MISCONCEPTION, which shouln’t be perpetuated.

@RebelByNature Месяц назад

@@RetreadPhoto I can take all the pics I want and share them with friends, family & neighbors. That does not require 107. Why do you think it does? Church, sure, because that can be helping a public organization even in the absence of money exchanges.

@2Bluzin 28 дней назад

@@RebelByNature Not if you use those pics to make money, like posting them on your website where you advertise your business.

@RebelByNature 28 дней назад

@@2Bluzin true, but that is not what I said.

@RetreadPhoto Месяц назад

As long as you have a Part 107 certificate, don’t fly it dangerously or recklessly, out of your visual sight, directly over a person (or people), directly over a moving vehicle of any type, in controlled airspace without authorization, in parks or city areas that are no-fly or permit-required zones, or at night without an anti-collision strobe visible from 3 miles away. A wedding is not recreational.

@csranch2000 Месяц назад

Taking all the fun out of flying and forcing people to get their 107. Mo money mo money.

@RetreadPhoto Месяц назад

Money has nothing to do with it. It’s about safety.

@RebelByNature Месяц назад

@@RetreadPhoto BS. The reason it's not about safety is because it's not about the flying, it's about what you do with the video after the fact. Nobody is saying that you could not fly recreationally at a wedding (not directly over people of course) if you are not taking pics or video. The exact same flight operation with the camera rolling is also fine recreationally if you don't share the video with anyone. The exact same flight and you share the video with your daughter after the fact and suddenly you have a different set of safety concerns? In all three cases you have the same exact flight, so the claim of safety is without merit.

@barnfly Месяц назад

Stupid thing to do

@csranch2000 Месяц назад

I feel if you have a private pilots license u should be exempt from 107.

@RetreadPhoto Месяц назад

I feel Cinnabons should have more frosting and be cheaper.

@RetreadPhoto Месяц назад

That’s totally non-sensical. They are entirely different sets of rules. It’s like saying if you play any professional sport, you should be able to play on any other.
