Re:DOT and FAA Propose New Rules for Small Unmanned Aircraft... by superuser2 on Monday February 16, 2015 @12:58AM (#9055533)
The point is probably that there should be no casual commercial operators. If you need some aerial photography done, hire a qualified drone pilot for a few hours. In fact, that will probably become a specialty business of independent operators or small companies - qualified pilots with high-quality drones and camera gear. I wouldn't be surprised to see this become a "pivot" for current commercial photographers in the weddings/product photos business.

Depending on the complexity of your project, that might cost more than outright purchase of a cheaper(er) drone, but I would argue this is a net win. A whole little business niche gets created, and most of the drones in the sky are 1) flown by experienced operators, and 2) high-quality and therefore probably easier to control.
