So I just got to be careful and sneaky I guess.. Thanx man!Legally from all I've heard you can't, legally your supposed to have a pilot present to profit from anything on top of an exemption even. Hopefully the rules change a bit when they are formed for UAVs cause I'd also love to work with my quads and have even had offers to do so. Can't be paid in cash to do so though, and you can't advertise services without an exemption, from all I've heard or read so far at least. The exemption app site has all your rules and regulations and a faq to learn all the specific info though if you want to check it out.
Guys with experience please correct me if I'm wrong as that does happen especially on a subject I've just begun to look into like this, but I'm pretty sure we're sol unless we have pilots handy or become one ourselves for now at least.
Why did you have to meet with an inspector?It's correct with the above statement! Me being a pilot for 8 years I JUST NOW got done getting my 333 exempt form. Even after that I am amazed I had to register a recreational drone with the FAA. Even with meeting with the inspector as well I was surprised that they stated if I were not a pilot at the time I would take my solo or any other one out and fly it for money it would be considered illegal and your could face a fine enforced by the FAA.

Yea no money or not commercial no problem long as you not near a no fly zone and keep below 400 feet.Yeah I just wanna record music with vide
if I'm just flying for fun not money in a safe eviroment I am fine though right??
Absolutely like stated do everything you want for fun..... fly away. It's just the moment the FAA finds out your doing it for money or for a job. Then it becomes illegal, and stay below 400 ft above ground surface. Stay away from all airports and check the local aviation weather site to make sure there are no TFR's you plan to fly in.Yeah I just wanna record music with vide

Ohh ok Kool thanx for the info man!Temporary Flight Restrictions. Mostly put up in times like football games, nascar, fairs, music concerts, etc. FAA will establish them a couple of days before the event and they go for "X" amount of distance from a certain altitude to the surface (ground level) around the named event

And yet I still wonder how virtually all outdoor concerts/events down here in South Florida have a UAV flying above? It seems event coordinators are hiring or even flying themselves.
I personally know someone who gets hired to film events for ESPN, NBC, etc... But we're told by FAA not to fly around crowds of people. Interesting.
To be completely honest - being a pilot I did not want to do ANYTHING to warrant a violation on my Airman Certificate and risk the chance to loose it.
