involved and uninvolved people ?

i had a situation filming on the Thames where a barge owner wanted his barge in the Shot ? No payment involved and we discussed flying close to the barge and the small risks .
But all word of mouth so could change if anything went wrong
Is there a didclaimer form any drone pilots use for such events ?

With regards to the barge itself and its owner, I would have thought a written, dated and hand signed request from the barge owner would be suitable. But what of crew and passengers if any and what of other boats ?
One Henley thread comes to mind where the pilot flew the drone down river and for some reason that I can't remember lost control, the drone landed on the bow of a boat and was recovered. It had just made it past a road bridge.

As a retired Pro Photographer I designed and made my own disclaimer / use of images/ ownership of images / bad weather disclaimer, why not do the same, cheers Len

If its the 250g drone such as the Mini then you dont need any kind of permission to fly anywhere, if you choose to fly close to boats etc then its at your risk, as for privacy concerns there is no expected right to privacy in a public space
