Narrative:

I was testing the live streaming video using my personal hobby drone. Post proof of concept meeting we had a follow-up with fight services where I was advised of part 107 regulations. I was unaware of the requirements outlined in part 107 and unaware of the airspace proximity to ZZZ. During my test flight the drone stayed in low altitude and did not leave line of sight. During the setup and test of this drone no aircraft were visibly present. I have been given the link to the regulations that I was unaware of and will research all unmanned and manned flight regulations for that area prior to any future flights. Its unfortunate that this information is not listed in the hobby level of these aircraft. This gives me the option to improve my knowledge moving forward.
