I've sold poster sized prints of this shot for $50 and licensed it to a few publications here locally. It's more than paid for my Phantom and it's upgrades. I can't wait to see what the Inspire can do.

Be careful - here in Montreal you aren't allowed to make money with your drone. You can fly anywhere do anything but if its for commercial purposes, you need license.

Cameraman hit with $1,000 fine for filming with drone.
A cameraman from Terrebonne was slapped with a $1,000 fine last week for filming from a drone without a federal permit.
Julien Gramigna, the co-founder of a drone-based video and photography company, said he is fighting the fine because Transport Canada’s rules on flying unmanned aerial aircraft are unclear.
He received the fine Dec. 23 after using two different drones to shoot an aerial video last June of a luxury residence for a real-estate company.
“I’m not a pilot, I’m a cameraman,” Gramigna said. “I never got any help from Transport Canada or an explanation of what I was and wasn’t allowed to do. When you buy a drone, it doesn’t say ‘Subject to the rules of Transport Canada’ on the box.”

Hopefully this bullshit won't spread to your town anytime soon.
