I had planned to purchase a quad copter this past summer with the intent to use it for filming for Television News, Surveyors and Realtors. I see the need for them in the future, but now I will have to get a license to just fly one if it has a camera, and cannot sell any video I take. It would prove to be a great business venture for me here in florida (filming advertisements for the area), but since I cannot sell said video, it might not be in my future, unless I hire on to the businesses for the time I take the video, but would not receive any proceeds from it. FPV is also questionable now.... you have to have two people if one is wearing a full FPV setup (well goggles anyway). One must see the actual "vehicle" and surrounding objects, other restrictions are left to the local laws....such as not flying over crowds, or flying dangerously close to buildings and vehicles. Going to have to study the actual laws one would have to go by, as I am within a few miles of two air force bases and two airports.
