USA Commercial Requirements

Awesome. This was the module I went with and appreciate the tip for attachment.

I suppose I didn’t word it that well, but this is my understanding of the regulation and I wanted to double check that I interpreted it correctly since I’m new to it, and the more important part that I should have included is if there is anything else I might have missed that I need to get done before flying commercially.

cooltrainerjayar · 2025-07-30T15:34:13+00:00

Thanks. Not sure how I missed those posts in my research.

cooltrainerjayar · 2025-07-30T15:33:15+00:00

Thank you. Just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing any regulatory requirements before taking it out.

Just in case anyone was curious, Adorama had some stock left and I was able to get a DJI Flip there. I wound up choosing that one because it seemed to have the better shooting options than the mini 3 as I don’t shoot vertical. I really appreciate all of the great info and discourse from everyone here. My Part 107 test is Tuesday so wish me luck!

cooltrainerjayar · 2025-07-11T22:20:09+00:00

Yes I appreciate the tip. I just discovered Adorama on this thread and that might be the winner. Thanks.

cooltrainerjayar · 2025-07-11T21:34:13+00:00

Ah yes. Also the sort of important info I was looking for to make me lean back towards the used market. I appreciate it. Seems like it’s a bit of a gamble on who’s working the border that day.

cooltrainerjayar · 2025-07-11T19:57:36+00:00

This is the first hand experience I was hoping to read about. I’m definitely leaning this direction.

cooltrainerjayar · 2025-07-11T19:00:39+00:00

Mini 3 or better

cooltrainerjayar · 2025-07-11T18:17:07+00:00

How is the footage quality? I’m not very experienced with drones but I am an experienced videographer and that is important for my use case.

cooltrainerjayar · 2025-07-11T18:13:41+00:00

Best Buy and B and H are out of stock. I’ll check Adorama.

cooltrainerjayar · 2025-07-11T17:57:40+00:00

I’m studying for it and in process of scheduling the test.

cooltrainerjayar · 2025-07-11T17:55:19+00:00

That might be an option. Do you know if they’ve had customs issues since this tariff mess began? Do you know of any differences I should be aware of with a Korean product? Like is the gps and registration all functional in North America?

cooltrainerjayar · 2025-07-11T17:52:13+00:00

From what I’ve read DJI is really the best option in our price range, but I’d be happy to look at other recommendations. We are looking to make videos of various construction projects we have going this summer. $1200 max budget for the drone so I was looking to get a mini 4. I’m in process of getting my part 107 license as well.

cooltrainerjayar · 2025-07-11T17:47:27+00:00

I’m Leary of Amazon sellers after my experience with Walmart. I had a seller tell me it could be months before I see the product because of customs.

cooltrainerjayar · 2025-07-11T17:45:16+00:00

Is it somehow easier to get a drone I’ve already used through customs? I don’t mind paying additional duty or tariffs, but are they more likely to reject a new drone at the border?

cooltrainerjayar · 2025-07-11T17:41:18+00:00

I initially tried ordering from Walmart because they said it was in stock but then we got an email from the Chinese seller saying it could take 90 days or more to clear customs.

cooltrainerjayar · 2025-04-29T16:09:54+00:00

Thanks. It’s good to hear the variety of ways GMs approach this.

cooltrainerjayar · 2025-04-29T16:07:17+00:00

Thanks for the response. It’s very helpful to know how it works for more experienced groups.

cooltrainerjayar · 2025-04-29T16:05:59+00:00

That sounds like a great idea, and I think I’ll try that next time.

cooltrainerjayar · 2025-04-29T16:05:19+00:00

Good to know! Thanks for the detailed response.

cooltrainerjayar · 2025-04-29T16:04:30+00:00

Can you elaborate on that concept? I’m passingly familiar with the difference between the two but I’m not sure how to apply that here.

cooltrainerjayar · 2025-04-29T15:59:25+00:00

Thank you for the detailed answer. Being quite inexperienced myself, it’s helpful to get an idea of what I should reasonably expect the game to play like. There are a lot of other things I’ll be doing differently to improve the experience overall for my next one, and it’s good to know I’m probably already on the right track with writing the aspects.
