Q: How high can you fly to shoot aerial footage?
A: Under Part 107, a Remote Pilot-in-Command cannot fly an unmanned aircraft higher than 400 feet above ground level (AGL), unless it's flown within a 400-foot radius of a structure and does not fly higher than 400 feet above the structure's immediate uppermost limit.

Q: Why use Aerial Photography or Videos?
A: According to The National Association of Realtors, 73-percent of homeowners are more likely to list their home with Realtors that use aerial videos. However, only 9-percent of Real Estate companies use a video to sell properties.
Q:Why should I use Aerial Photography when my someone I know has a drone and won't charge me for the footage?
A: Most likely, that person isn't a licensed drone pilot, or insured. The FAA is cracking down on non-licensed drone pilots and are handing out fines for realtors that use them to promote their listings. Any realtor who hires an non-licensed drone pilot can be fined up to $11,000 for each instance. The drone pilot can be fined $1,100 for each instance, if a realtor has their own non-licensed drone, they are then responsible for BOTH fines.
Dragons Drone Zone LLC. is also insured for $1,000.000
Q: Can I get in trouble for hiring a non-licensed drone pilot?
A:Yes
Federal law prohibits anyone from flying drones for compensation unless they hold a valid FAA Remote Pilot license. If your photographer is providing "aerial" images for you and a drone is being used, make sure he or she is licensed.
If the pilot has a drone license, They should provide a current FAA issued UAS license to you upon request. Fines for the non-licensed pilot and the person hiring the pilot can be quite substantial. The fine is $1,100 per occurrence/flight where imagery is used commercially. More importantly perhaps, the fine for a real estate agent who contracts an non-licensed pilot is $11,000. Of course, if you’re an agent who bought a drone and took the photos or video yourself, you will be liable for both fines. You always want to question your photographer about his or her FAA remote pilot's license.
