Just wondering, if anyone can lead me in the right direction. With the footage from my drone, if I wanted to put them onto a site like shutterstock to sell? How much would I have to make for it to be classed as commercial? Even if it's a once off or every year I put something up? I recently heard this from a youtuber who works with drones, that it doesn't get classed as commercial or require permission from the CAA or have a NQE unless I make a substantial amount of money from it..and I don't really know if it's still true or not?
I've been on the CAA website relating to drones, but there is no information on this... well no clear information on this...
I'm just a hobbyist, very new to flying, long background in the aviation industry until I got fed up with the **** politics.
I can't be *** to make a business out of it as I have several companies I already own.
So what I'm saying is, I'm not looking to flood sites like shutterstock with pictures every other day to see if I can make money, but if one of my pictures did start making some money, how much would I have to make before I hit the threshold? It would be pointless of me to do my NQE and pay for permission if I'm not going to use my drone for commercial business use. My line of work doesn't require me to use my drone, in fact, it would most likely be shot down if I did use it.. lol
