Narrative:

I went to shoot some footage using my dji mavic pro (drone) after being contracted by a company. I checked flight maps before flying to make sure that I would not enter class east airspace during the shoot as the class east airspace for kearney regional airport (ear) extended down to the surface near where I was flying. During takeoff and the first 15 minutes of my flight; everything was running as it should. Aircraft had no issues; and I was not in class east airspace; however; as I went to capture the east side of the building; my dji go 4 app began warning me that I had entered class east airspace of the kearney regional airport. After discovering this; I ended my recording and proceeded to land in a safe location outside of class east airspace. I did not exceed 60 feet AGL during my flight at any time.I believe this problem resulted because of how close the event was to class east airspace and also due to the fact that I could not zoom in close enough with my map resource (www.skyvector.com). Based on what I read on my map; I believed that I was not going to enter class east airspace during my flight.no aircraft were harmed. My maximum altitude was 60 feet AGL. There was no risk of any aircraft colliding. No aircraft had to take action to avoid a collision.

Title: A contracted drone operator reported he was alerted by the drone's sensors that he may have penetrated Class E airspace. He immediately terminated his video photography and exited the area.
