A Brief Description Of The Nature Of The Exemption Joshua William Bell 

Seeks: 

This exemption will permit Joshua William Bell to commercially operate an 

Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) for the purpose of conducting aerial video and 

photography over certain areas of the United States only. 
DJI PHANTOM 2 VISION+ TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS 

Joshua William Bell only utilizes safe and reliable UASs. DJI is an industry leader in 

small UAS production. DJI UASs are loaded with ground breaking software enabling the 

user to set parameters which will not allow flight into controlled airspace. Parameters can 

also be set to limit flight to no higher than a predetermined and set altitude as well as limit 

flight to a predetermined and set distance. In addition, DJI software provides real-time 

altitude and location information to the PIC via the linked monitor (smart phone/tablet 

devices)
