DJI may fine a citizen who flew a drone and filmed it over a Bunnings Warehouse factory for YouTube in a breach of air traffic rules. Drones are required to be flown in visual line-of-sight, further than 30 metres from building structures, people and vehicles, no higher than 120 metres and in a way that causes no hazards. The viral video was sold, making it a commercial drone flight, which has landed the operator in hot water with the potential of being fined AUD $9,000.
