Good points.
"Hobbyist/Non-commercial Flight
If you are not making any commercial gain from your flying, then you may fly your UAV without requiring certification (please note however that “commercial gain” can include flights for advertising purposes or even uploading videos to YouTube – there does not have to be a direct payment involved). The following restrictions apply for uncertified flying:
- Below 400 ft (120 m)
- In uncontrolled (Class G) airspace
- More than 3 nm (5.5 km) from an aerodrome or helipad listed on the VTC
- More than 30 m away from other people
- Not in a Populous Area
- Within Visual Line of Sight (VLOS) – this means no FPV unless you have a spotter who can take control at any time"
Although it will be slightly easier in September:
"Very Small RPAs (under 2 kg) – Regulations effective 29th September 2016
The Federal Government has recently passed legislation which will allow a person to operate a
very small RPA (that is, one weighing less than 2 kg) without certification, if it is being operated in
standard RPA operating conditions. This will be known as an
excluded aircraft.
Standard RPA operating conditions means that the RPA must be operated:
- within visual line of sight
- below 400 ft AGL
- during the day
- more than 30 m away from anyone who is not directly associated with the operation (people being filmed are not considered to be directly associated with the RPA’s operation)
It may NOT be operated:
- over a populous area
- within 3 nautical miles of the movement area of a controlled aerodrome
- in a prohibited area
- in a restricted area that is classified as RA3
- in a restricted area that is classified as RA2 or RA1 otherwise than in accordance with regulation 101.065
- over an area where a fire, police or other public safety or emergency operation is being conducted without the approval of a person in charge of the operation"

So if Roam-e is going to film you, you must be more than 30m away from everyone else .....
And don't think they aren't watching:
