		basseq on May 12, 2015 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Lily – Drone camera The FAA doesn't appear to have any guidance on automated flying: e.g., it doesn't say anything (at least in a 1m search) about a human pilot. (I was surprised by this.) So long as you stay within recreational use guidelines (e.g., don't upload videos to YouTube), you should be fine.

Why would uploading to YouTube necessarily be a problem? Most people don't make profit from YouTube uploads.
