There's been some great info posted here. I have a few different build ideas from some of the links that have been posted. Operating them in that fashion is a two man operation.
Lots of the bigger ones require three people to operate... a pilot to fly the aircraft, a guy to 'fly' the camera, and a spotter. Never ever fly through FPV goggles without a spotter or you're just asking for trouble, and if you damage someone's property or hurt someone, the courts treat an aircraft incident as negligence on your part. So you need two people at a minimum, unless you are just flying in the middle of nowhere and decide to accept the risk.

Also, commercial use of a drone, regardless of size, is currently illegal in the USA. I'd be in business if it wasnt.
