    Part 107 vs recreational rules

    Haha! I did anticipate some blowback since I'm not 107 licensed yet, and i can see how my questions could be seen as naive. I am fairly new to drone piloting, but have researched enough to question the legality around certain flights now. I just wanted to get insight from more experienced...

    Part 107 vs recreational rules

    I appreciate the constructive feedback! Guessing there is no difference between videos or pictures in this case. Both of which would be awesome to have of this event tonight that could end up in my digital 'photo albums' that I could show to my kid, and maybe grandkids. Have a good 4th of...

    Well, just to add to the context of all this we are playing from 8-midnight. The first hour long set is well before sunset and civil twilight. That is where I would looking to shoot.

    Part 107 vs recreational rules

    You hit that 'grey area' I was talking about right on the head. I cant control who shares the pics or videos (to their friends/followers who dont already know about my band) posted on my personal social media pages, where other people may or may not be motivated to check out my band who would...

    Part 107 vs recreational rules

    We have a few songs where I'm not playing anything for 3-5 minutes (bass player). So I am thinking I could do an orbit quickshot during that time.

    Part 107 vs recreational rules

    Are we being compensated for drone footage? No Are we being compensated to play music? Yes Do I plan on using said footage to promote my band? No, but the FAA being the authority on that I dont really know where this flight lands on their spectrum. Thus, I'm asking for others perspectives too!

    Part 107 vs recreational rules

    I'm not being compensated for anything I'm doing with the drone tonight. I'm being compensated for playing music. Simply trying to capture a cool experience in my musical life that I wish to share later. I just dont know if the FAA would indirectly consider that sharing of the footage as...

    Part 107 vs recreational rules

    Thanks for the link. I think my confusion is coming from the 'are you flying for business, enterprise, etc.., or for recreational (enjoyment)' question. I not getting paid to fly my drone. I'm getting paid for the performance. I would be flying for (enjoyment) recreation during the...

    Part 107 vs recreational rules

    I am looking into getting my part 107 in the near future. Until then I have questions about footage I'll be taking tonight. I am a musician in a band that is playing a gig tonight at a private residence. It is one of a few (out of 50 or so) booked shows that didnt cancel due to covid. This...
