There's quite a few small companies and individuals out there making money flying drones for productions. I worked on a large production for an American car co. that used drones for product flyovers late last year (this was on a multi-million dollar shoot that could have easily afforded a crane or chopper). It's so comparatively cheap and easy. They will transform not only the low to mid range, they'll be used extensively on high end as well. The logistics favor a drone over hiring a helicopter or a huge crane on most occasions (although they won't work for everything).
