I was reading somewhere about needing a 'drone licence' for these if used for filming if for monetary gain? or something like that

Probably. Sounds like a good way to gouge money from an industry.

Yes, as soon as you do what is classed as "aerial work" which is filming for commercial gain, you need an operators licence, public liability insurance and permission from the CAA - this liast one mainly due to the fact professional kit carrying a large dSLR will weigh over 7kg which is the weight limit for hobby use.

If however you are only filming for "sport and recreation" then you do not need the above providing the craft is under 7kg, you have the land owners permission (if private land) and you do not fly nearer than 50m to people, buildings or vehicles.

@lewd lude lover

More than happy to come fly at your field mate, plenty of room for me not to crash!! I'll invite my mate along with all his FPV stuff as well if you want to take a look at that?

Sounds good. Obviously we won't fly near any animals that may get spooked by the noise.
