MAN, LOOK AT THE RISK. IMAGINE BUYING A DRONE AND YOU CANT USE IT? OUCH

Can I at Least Get a Permit?
The good news is, that in 2012, President Barack Obama mandated the FAA to open the skies to private commercial drones by 2015. The bad news is that at the soonest you might be able to get a permit at the end of 2013. Our FAA spokesperson said, "…proposed small unmanned aircraft rules (under 55 pounds) could be coming out later this year and will likely cover this (shooting video with small aircraft commercially)…" Of course he did follow that up with, "we can't really speculate how long it will take to get out the final rule." So in reality, it could be as late as September 2015 by the time you can legally shoot video (and accept money for it) with a radio-controlled aircraft.

Using unmanned aerial systems for commercial purposes is illegal.

There are permits available for unmanned aerial systems at this time. But not for profit, and not for shooting video. The current permits being issued are called "experimental airworthiness certificates”and are for (again from our FAA spokesperson) "… Demonstrations only."
