Hi there, new drone pilot and new to this site. I've had my bebop 2 "power" for a few months now and I've gotten pretty comfortable flying and editing videos, I even stumbled across Pix4Dcapture to make stunning 3D models of buildings.
I'm wondering though, if I offered to take realty photos and videos for free, either commercial businesses or residential (in exchange I only get the experience and the video for my portfolio) would that still be within FAA regulations? I want to fly, and I want to take cool videos with my new drone but locations can be limited. I figured this would be the best way to get permission to fly around otherwise restricted areas but I don't want to push the limits of the law.
Quick thanks to all of the users on here, this is my first stop for all my drone questions and you've all been a great help getting started!
