Interesting... as I understand drone licensing in the US, unless you register with FAA, you can only fly restricted height. Where are you?

ahhh, Jamaica.
In Jamaica. 120 meters or approx 400ft altitude is the limit here which I was under. The restrictions I had previously were in the settings of the drone not the laws. I couldn’t fly very far away from where I was either which was odd as I’d set them before take off. Seems it kept engaging ‘payload’ mode which limited me to 30m altitude and I can’t remember distance but not very far. I figured out how to access the setting immediately after take off and remove it. All good now. Range and height make for some sweet images now
I've been working towards my FAA 107, which allows me more height, and basically is an unmanned pilot's license
In the UK theres a basic online test to take for drone license ( and a small fee of course) then you’re good to go but they have altitude restrictions still
the only altitude restrictions you have with the FAA 107 is the same as any airline pilot over certain cities, airports, etc.
Wow cool. Up up and awayyyyyyy!
What do you need to do for the FAA 107?
study hard, pass an FAA test. then, you can legally sell images taken from a drone. AND, can get hired to run a drone, for pay.
Message me, if you are interested in more
