Curious, person posting their services on another forum claim his drone operation is exempt from FAA regulations? How could that and why would that be? IN NYC, NY of all places.
JD, the FAA regulations regarding UAS apply to all commercial use.
That's what is confusing to me. He's posting a service provider to the film industry in NYC.
Specifically this: We are pleased to announce that with all the new regulation being pushed by the FAA, Xizmo Media is one of he few professional aerial cinematography companies with an FAA 333 Exemption.

The 333 exemption does not mean FAA regulations no longer apply. Commercial uav operations require a 333 exemption. The exemptions are for relief from certain FAA regulations just as the motion picture flight manual and waivers exempted traditional aircraft from specific regulations regarding minimum altitudes, proximity to persons on the ground, etc. The waiver certificate spells out which regulations are waived. There is no blanket exemption from all FAA regulations. Hope this is helpful. More detailed response can be posted later..
Sounds like the person is a cow chip tosser trying to make their service seem exclusive in a way then benefits film production by appearing to be exempt from all the tedious and tiresome paperwork, applications and regulations that less prestigious UAS operators are bound by..
