Winter 2015 eNewsletter - Why Lighting Matters and Drones UpdateTips & Tricks Winter 2015 "Why Light Matters" and "Drones"
Why Lighting Matters: Time of Day Drones Did you know those little helicopters in the sky are illegal to use commercially? Some agents use them. Some photographers use them. Unfortunately, they aren't legal for commercial use.
I was asked by a couple of real estate people at a recent gathering if I use one. The answer is not until the FAA has the rules finalized and there are laws in place. As of right now, it is against the law to use a drone for commercial purposes and there are hefty fines for those who get caught. I have no desire to take any chances nor have the agents I work with or their sellers caught in the mix of fines and lawsuits.
As of right now- there is ONE real estate agent in the country who has permission. He must have specific certificates in order to fly one commercially. There are only 13 companies in the US that are legally allowed to use them commercially. http://techcrunch.com/…/faa-allows-first-real-estate-compa…/
I'm following this issue very closely. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. In the meantime, we have other options for aerials including helicopters/planes and high poles. Comments
