Based on the existing comments, I realize this won't be popular, but this is a matter of violating FAA regulations for commercial operation of drones.
No one is stopping you from posting drone footage for private purposes, but if you are doing it for commercial purposes and reasons (whether you are directly paid or not, smart-ass) does not matter.
There is a reason this regulation is in place, because you as a private person flying around a quad-copter (see, you're not even calling it by its right name) for hobby and entertainment is a bit of a different thing than doing so for some commercial purpose and flying it every day, all day.
Quit being little brats that are pouting because you can't have what you want when you want it.
- ghaff 12y agoI don't think you're being quite fair here. The objections I read are primarily in the vein of this (appearing to be based on the facts as presented) a trivial example of commercial use akin to a blog that has a few Adsense ads. While the commercial use line is difficult to draw, drawing it here makes essentially any public activity commercial whether it involves posting a video on the Web or showing it at anything other than a strictly hobbyist unsponsored event.
- beeworker 12y agoI'm going to use that last line next time someone makes a perfectly reasonable request like "sod off FAA," or "please mr. bully stop beating me up."
