EXACTLY!!!

That is not what is meant when they say other non revenue actions like good will. Good will means that you give something to someone (like your drone footage) and expect no compensation in return. You can't give away your drone footage as "good will" to your church or any any other...

OK, so according to your own account if I am posting with no intent to monetize I don't have to get the part 107, correct? I agree with you that if your only intent for posting drone footage online is to monetize an account you should be part 107 licensed. Right now I have no intent to...

Hello, Thank you for the link. I read the article but it seems to me the FAA did not fine him because he was posting videos to You Tube without part 107. According to the article the FAA used the You Tube videos he posted to prove that he flyer violated FAA Drone regulations under part 107...

Thanks for the info and you are right. I may take the test sometime in the future but for now I am 52 years old and a very cautious flyer. I always check the maps and make sure I am cleared for take off, GPS lock ect.... I am not doing anything complicated at all. Pretty much go up fly...

The only negative for me would be I have no use the part 107 right now and there is a pretty large time commitment to study and pass the test. Plus you are looking at probably $150 to buy a good study course and $175 every time you take the test. If I needed the part 107 for some reason I...

Meta4: Yeah its a long shot for sure! Just going to post my videos and photos for now and see what happens. You never know! LOL FLDave: Its a good idea for someone who wants to become a professional pilot but I don't have any long range plans to become a professional drone pilot. I am also...

Yeah, I really am not the roll the dice kind of guy. If I ever decide to monetize any of these accounts I will make sure I have the part 107 before I do. I don't think the FAA could force me to get the107 just to post them on a un monetized social media page that right now I have no intention...

Yeah, I think you are probably right and right now I have no intent on monetizing these accounts and if I ever did I would get my part 107 before I monetized any social media I had just to make sure I was safe.

Hello, thanks for the response! Who would I need to show that I am a professional pilot too? The videos I take are just used to turn into fun TiK Toks or reels for my own social media accounts. I am not going into any client facing situations or really face to face with anyone. No one who...

Hello All! Right now I am just doing the drone things for Fun. I have an Air 2S and am taking some great shots and video. I have started a Instagram account and Tik Tok to post my photos and videos just for fun right now. Lets say at some point in the future the accounts get large enough to...

I bought a very nice large landing pad that takes care of this problem. Never take off or land without it.

Yes, I just bought the DJI RC so without a neck strap I would be more worried about droping the controller then the drone LOL!

Is everyone hand launching and landing using some kind of neck strap for the RC? Otherwise wouldn't it be very difficult to hold the RC and operate the sticks with one hand?
