Part 107 & Mini

[xunhui]

Can a Mini be used to take photos and videos for your business without a Part 107 license? I have a MA2 and I know that I would need my part 107 to use it for my business. But with a Mini being under 250 grams will a Part 107 still be required for business use?

Question is for someone else so be gentle with me. ???

Complicated question. Basically yes, but not legally.

No. There’s no minimum weight for part 107 operations. It’s just as illegal with the mini as it is with the MA2 or any other drone for that matter.

Thanks guys, I'll let him know that a Part 107 will be required.

Edit... I also give him the link to the forum. Maybe he can also learn a few things here.

Yes, any drone flown commercially under Part 107 needs to be registered as such; regardless of weight.

It's been answered, but:

No. Any commercial use requires 107.

Correct.

But with a Mini being under 250 grams will a Part 107 still be required for business use?

Nothing to do with it. All aircraft used for business must have their own, separate registration and 107 is required.

If you use the Mini for commercial purposes it will require to be registered and you must have a Part 107 license
