Now that the drone craze has exploded, acquiring aerials is much easier and thus the value of these clips is dropping. What do you think is the fair price?

However, the FAA currently bans all commercial use of drones pending regulatory rules scheduled to be published sometime in 2015.

I have been talking with the CEO of Octocopter for a couple of years now at NAB. As of last, this is all "still up in the air" (pardon the pun).

Agreed with Andy, and to add to that, In Texas where I live they have gone the extra mile and if you are caught using a remote control copter for business use they will fine you $500
One of the reasons I stopped even entertaining the idea of one of these things. It's just not worth the stress and there is so much else to shoot.
