I've recently thrown my hat so to speak in the FPVish ring. I had pre-ordered a pair of DJI goggles then realized that per the FAA anyone flying a UAS for fun or work must maintain the aircraft in thier visual line of sight. So now I have ordered a pair of the Epson Moverio BT-300 "augmented" reality glasses. With these I can maintain VLOS and fly without risk of incrimination. I've read many posts in the last 2 days with people reccomending the DJI goggles over the BT-300's. My question is this, is flying against FAA regulations not a concern?
I will probably still keep a pair of the DJI goggles but only to hand to a client or someone that is NOT flying the drone so they can observe OR I guess if you have a spotter that would make them legal? Yes?
The legalities are all pretty much in thier infancy as far as commercial UAS piloting is concerned, which is how I make a living so adhereing to FAA regulations is a must for me. I'm curious what everyone else thinks.
