Correct. In the US if a drone is used for recreational purposes and
weighs over 250 grams (.55 lb) it must be registered with the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA). If a drone is used for commercial
purposes it must be registered regardless of weight. The cost for either
is 5 USD for 3 years.
In addition, commercial operations require you to be a licensed drone
pilot so if you take photos or videos with your drone and sell them,
you're supposed to be licensed. The FAA takes a broad view on what is
considered commercial. It might be something as innocuous as posting
drone photos or videos on a blog that gets a little income from sharing
ads. Obviously they're not going to be scrubbing through blogs and web
sites looking for violations but there are folks who don't like drones
who complain and then the FAA will look into it.

The bigger drones require that you register and qualify with the FAA.

Is there a drone that might be able to hoist a Pentax DSLR.
I've seen some inspiring drone nature photography lately, but no *Pentax*
drone
photography, so I'm wondering how you might go about doing it.
