Old footage before regulations or guidlines?

[ChoiceGraphX]

Quick question about legal use of footage taken before regulations were made or even suggestions. Flying during the days of Phantom 2 I shoot footage that was over crowds, this was way before even the guidelines for flying was a suggestion, can the footage be used or should it be banded?

So if this was prior to 333, there were no guidelines at that time I can't see any reason not to use your footage. You may want to post date of footage.

I see no reason to shelve the footage. It's like the high-capacity magazines for handguns. They were legal. Then they were banned for a while, but if you already had them, you could keep them. And if they had been manufactured before the law went into effect, they could still sell them.

Same thing here. You have something that was manufactured before the law went into effect.

Of course, if you post it on YouTube, and put a big disclaimer that it was filmed prior to laws about flying over crowds, you'll still get 500 people yelling at you about it.

Indeed but film will not be used for public

I would think twice about footage from 2015. Section 333 was in full strength (that's a debate for another time or not at all really LOL).

I would consider how it might make your company "look" and what type of image of safety it would shine on your company.

If it wasn't footage that I couldn't live without I wouldn't use it but that's only my own 2 cents.

You do not say where in the world the footage was taken/where you operate so possible to answer without the relevent aviation laws taken into account.

Good advise thank you.

That date is when it was edited into an old video in 2015 that is archived. I do not remember when the footage was actually shot but do remember doing the paperwork for that 333 exemption. The flight in question was well before that but I have no record of.
