Re:
AgEagle Aerial Systems, Inc.
 
Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
We have acted as counsel to AgEagle Aerial Systems, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333- 211467) (as it may be amended, the “Registration Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). The Registration Statement relates to the proposed underwritten public offering and sale by the Company of (i) up to 2,730,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and (ii) up to 359,500 Shares (the “Company Over-Allotment Shares”) that may be purchased by the underwriters pursuant to an option to purchase additional Shares to cover over-allotments. Additionally, the Registration Statement relates to the proposed underwritten public offering and resale by a selling security holder of up to 50,000 shares (the “Selling Holder Over-Allotment Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock, issued pursuant to a consulting agreement dated as of March 1, 2015 (the “Consulting Agreement”), that may be purchased by the underwriters pursuant to an option to purchase additional shares to cover over-allotments, on a pro rata basis with the Company Over-Allotment Shares. We understand that the Shares, the Company Over-Allotment Shares and the Selling Holder Over-Allotment Shares are proposed to be sold to the underwriters for resale to the public, as described in the Registration Statement and pursuant to an underwriting agreement, substantially in the form filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, to be entered into by the Company and the underwriters (the “Underwriting Agreement”).

In connection with this opinion letter, we have examined the Registration Statement, the Consulting Agreement and originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such corporate records of the Company and other certificates and documents of officials of the Company, public officials and others as we have deemed appropriate for purposes of this letter. We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, and the conformity to authentic original documents of all copies submitted to us as conformed and certified or reproduced copies.
 
Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that (i) the Shares and the Company Over-Allotment Shares have been duly authorized and, when such Shares are issued and paid for in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and (ii) the Selling Holder Over-Allotment Shares have been duly authorized and, are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
