Still practicing with our drones. This is from my son in law's drone. I am still waiting on my license.

Nicely done. Do you have live view on a phone or tablet from the drone?

My control box has a screen. I think there is an output plug if I wanted to run it out to a different screen.

He did a nice job. I have visited that area a few times and this gives me a different perspective.

Excellent video. What drone is he flying? I have the DJI Phantom 3 Advanced. He might want to tilt the camera down a bit so the props aren't in the video during acceleration. The camera on my P3A will tilt down 90 degrees but I normally go down about 30 degrees. I'm able to adjust it flight. These drones open up a whole new world in photography. You don't need a license to fly for recreational. I'm registered with the FAA but for commercial use there's more paperwork to deal with.

This drone is described in this same section
concerning another drone flight on
Saint Simons Island.

OK, I'll search for it. I found it. Here's a link on the aircraft if anyone is interested. I've never heard of it but the drone market is growing like crazy.

Why do you need a part 107 license? I hear that you don't even need to register your drone any more. I also thought you only need that license if you are using your drone for commercial use.

"A Washington, D.C. court ruled Friday, May 19th, that the FAA drone registration rule violates the FAA Modernization and Reform Act, which Congress passed in 2012. Hobbyist John Taylor argued successfully that he should not have to register because the act states that the FAA 'may not promulgate any rule or regulation regarding a model aircraft.' "

As of now, you don't have to register your drone or get a license for non-commercial use, sometimes considered "playing with a toy".

Don't have a drone but if I got one this would be good news.
