If anyone can tell me who I would contact to try and get commercial drone photography legalized or how I can get a permit to do it commercially would be greatly appreciated.
First I want to thank you for taking the time to read this and imputting your opinion. I am supporting all drone pilots who want to make a go of this commercially that other drone users have spoiled it for us all.
The world of drones have given remote controlled model aircraft pilots a bad rap.
There is always one bad apple in the whole bunch that spoils it for everyone.
On one side of the coin you have, (and I am just as concerned if I may say so myself), is the issues of privacy and safety. I can see where there would be concerns remote controlled drone users doing invasion of privacy in the lives of the general public. I can also see the safety issues of a unqualified, (and I don't want to use the word, "PILOT"), lets just drone or rather remote controlled aircraft user. It is a major issue.
On the flip side of the coin with the adaptations of set of rules and standards for a qualified and certified licensed drone and remote controlled model aircraft pilot I strongly believe that the commercial usage of drones would be a real asset to the wealth of our economy. With the adaptation of regulations and commercial use permits and licenses pilots that were hired for image and video flights would be a real asset to the economy for such work for hire by realtors, travel agencies, farmers, business promotionals, topographical maps, law enforcement, fire fighters, news media, legal applications, and other qualified applications that are a asset to the state of our economy.
I also strongly believe that just like taking a drivers training class and test to qualify for a drivers license to drive a vehicle on the road, I strongly feel that by requiring anyone having the desire to commercially want to do work for hire with their drone, (or rather remote controlled model aircraft), should be required to take a course in drone flight and testing and upon passing the completed course then should be issued a certificate or license as a legal pilot for commercial work for hire abiding to the rules and regulations of the commercial guidelines. This would assure that safety issues and privacy guidelines are set.
I actually would require this of both hobbiests and commercial remote controlled model aircraft pilots alike and would definitely allow FPV's as it put the pilot in more control of the aircraft.
In my opinion the hobbiest drones and remote controlled model aircrafts are far safer then helicopters and planes as they are program to return to the point of origin if the battery gets low or it gets out of the field of the remote control signal.
I have yet to purchase a drone but I am looking at purchasing a DJI Phantom 2 Vision Plus in February contingent of the current laws.
The proposal that I have made above would definitely address the safety and privacy issues along with promoting a better economy for everyone. With the proper regulations such as the ones I listed above would promote a better world for everyone.
Please consider this and give it a chance.
Thank you for your time.

I have yet to purchase a drone but I am looking at purchasing a DJI Phantom 2 Vision Plus in February contingent of the current laws. Yes I am a novice at this and yet to purchase my first quad copter but I first have to educate myself first and foremost.
The proposals and regulations that I have made above for both the hobbyist and the commercial pilot would definitely address the safety and privacy issues along with promoting a better economic environment for everyone along with keeping unskilled and unlicensed pilots from flying all together.
I also live in Northern Wisconsin and am looking for a drone club in our area if you know of any.
Please consider
Thank you for your time.
"FAA guidelines allow drones for recreational use if they weigh less than 55 pounds and remain under 400 feet, within the operator’s sight, and at least five miles away from an airport."
