Greetings,
I am just curious, there is a lot of discussion about not being able to use a Phantom for commercial use, aerial photography and video on various forums. CASA licence requirements are in many ways over the top for lightweight machines used away from people and well away from other aircraft. The new Vision will be a hit and soon every amauter and professional photographer will have one and most will not bother with the CASA system. The issue reminds me of when CB Radio arrived and there was a need to have a licence, in the end common sense prevailed!
Does anyone KNOW of any person who has been officially warned in any way for using their Phantom or other like drone for sensible commercial use? Has anyone actually heard for certain of anyone being fined or any action being taken for such use......or have they realised the regulations are so far out of date they are powerless to do much.
Thanks in advance
