ok, For over a year now I have owned a Phantom and been making videos, editing them, and showing them to friends. In the last 6 months I have been taking video of the progress made on a construction project and it will soon be finished. I am making this video for my employer and employees for their enjoyment and I'm doing this free of charge, I am not getting paid, and I wanted to do this to gain experience. Now, recently the construction company asked me for a copy of the video when it's finished. I have a problem giving it to them until I learn more of what's legal for UAV video/photography. I'm thinking they may hand it over the their marketing dept and use it for presentations. From what I've read, the FAA forbits the use of UAV for video/photgraphy commerically. It's not to be sold for profit. I'm also wondering if I do had over a picture free of charge and that personcompany uses it for profit, will I somehow get in trouble?
I'm now being approached more and more from people wanting a pic/video of their home, property and it's time for me to investigate what's legal and not legal for me.
Any links with easy to understand language of the laws on this is appreciated, and some advice too, thanks.
