My question is regarding commercial interpretation by FAA. I plan on using my SOLO for artistic, non commissioned short films. Is it reasonable to assume that barring any violations or inappropriate usage of the drone, I shouldn't have to worry about 333 exemption or getting fined by the FAA?
The reason I ask is because my commercial photography work is, well, commercial and my personal editorial work is just for artistic expression (and non commissioned). It's pretty straight forward. If I post a video on my blog or site, non monetized like youtube (but using vimeo for example), does that help me avoid any grey area with the FAA rules on commercial usage?
Also, if I do decide to shoot a video (and plan on using drone footage) do I need a 333 Exemption, or do I just sub contract 333 Exempt Pilots approved for commercial flight?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Alex
