Wow, I didn't know you were the one that created this product. I heard and read all about it but just stumbled here by accident. Just wanted you to know that I am excited to get mine given the way I plan on using it as a number four camera, I think this (and whoever created the gopro, I have a couple for sports shots) is straight up a genius in my book. Way to go. I don't even have it yet and I'm already thanking you. Good job! People like you who allow us on a budget to get the shots we otherwise couldn't do without spending a fortune. Which I've done already. This thing pays for itself in one day. Looking forward to it and I hope I get the hang of using it.

Unfortunately, FPV (First Person View, which was mentioned, is also illegal in the U. S. now. Unless you are being paid for it, and have a permit, you cannot use FPV. Even with a spotter, the FAA wants pilots to be looking directly at the aircraft. Also, for operating RC aircraft within 5 miles of an airport, operators have to notify the tower, even if the drones are flying under 400ft (full size aircraft cannot fly under 500 feet, and usually don't get under 1000 unless they're landing.

The rules say that in the United States any remotely operated aircraft may operate from 400ft AGL and below and that any remotely operated aircraft that flys for hire is prohibited. This is do to the ever increasing number of drone aircraft is starting to become a danger to the full scale aircraft flying in the same airspace. And with out proper training and in force regulations they may pose a threat to the general public and other aircraft. They make these rules for a resin.

I think these copters are amazing but I do wonder about the safety of these things able to go so high.
I mean as these copters can go so high don't they have the potential to bring down a plane, ie if they got sucked into an air liners engine wouldn't that cause some serious problems.
I don't want to put a downer on these things cos they are fantastic but there needs to be some kind of code of practice for safety of air craft.

I loved your video. fun.
I also loved the house and grounds.
I now have over 3k invested in my Phantom 2 and gear.
As for the FAA ban for commercial use, well, I plan to follow that rule with the same consistency used by our politicians in following the laws and constitution of this country. seems fair to me. ;>)

I am trying to start a business doing Aerial Videography/Photography and this is something I did not know about not being able to charge for services and this concerns me at the moment. On the other hand there are websites that I have been to that charge so I need to research this better any suggestions on a site?

Drones or quad things. Some of you are splitting hairs. It doesn't matter what it's called, the rules will be the same. That's like skating on a sidewalk with a sign that says no rollerblading and you tell the campus police, they're not Rollerblades, they're inline skates.

how could adults be such assholes flying these things over private property. we need legislation for property owners to be allowed to shoot them out of the sky if they fly over your property less than say 500 ft. assholes grow up.

I just ran across this video and thought I'd update this for people watching today.
First of all, this vid is 2013 and as of 2016, you need a license. Get one! Go to FAA. gov and look for part 107 licensing.

Aerial videography is not illegal. FAA rules say that any commercial use of a controlled UAV is a violation. There is a difference in just being illegal, and the rule about commercial use.

aerial video is not illegal at all, you just need to know the rules. and by the way the difference between a this and a toy is nothing, commercial intent is the dividing line.

Inexpensive quadcopters are an excellent weapon against the Apartheid state of Israel - they can be used for disrupting the civil and military air traffic in that racist state

There is no 400 foot max altitude limit enforceable law current on the records by FAA. It's only a suggested guidance. And it's for flying within 3 miles of an airport.

I'm more impressed by the people who make amazing quad videos with toy or hobby grade, not so much the pros with their high price Riggs
