I Don't Know Anything!!!!

Hey all,

I have two question for you guys. These are both for my work so I would only like a definite answer on the first question and your best assumptions on the 2nd.

1. I was talking to a guy at Best Buy about attaching something to a drone. He said I could not do that because it is a federal offence. Is that true or is it only attaching weapons is against the law? Again please only answers with 100% certainty on this one because breaking the law is a pretty big deal!

2. What would be the best drone to use if I wanted to lift approximately 3 pounds 50ft in the air and have it be very stable?
- Price is not a issue if it works my boss will pay for anything.
- I know they are not made to do this.
- Making a drone would not really be an option since we will need about 6 and possibly more in the future.
- It would need to hold that 3 pounds steady for up to 15 minutes.

Again this question can just be your best assumption or what you have seen elsewhere. This is a project I have for work but I know very little about drones so I would like only answers that you can justify.

Thank you all for your help in advance!

Its not a federal offense, I don't know where he got that from. 3 pounds? That's not a lot but it will take a little larger MR than a phantom, you may be able to do it with a 550 hex but something even larger would do it for sure.
