    Australia NPWS permit to fly?

    Whats the point of buying a drone?

    The problem is, if I hover the drone at lets say 10 ft off the ground to take a photo in Tripod mode am i still Flying and breaking a whole host of rules because I am taking a photo with the motors running, if i stick a pole up its bottom i probably would have no issues.

A firmware upgrade made earlier that same day had...
