What level of HAM is needed for 2.4Ghz Use??
If am am going to get "legal" before I get into areial video, what level do I need to use the stuff sold my Blackwidow? Do I just need the entry level? I went to the AARL website and they have like 3 levels. Please help. Thanks in advance.

You can get away with the most basic, and easiest to get, the 'no code' technicians class license.
I paid $10 to take the test at the local ham club (of which I wasn't a member). The license itself is free.

Snyperx, I just saw you're from Iowa! 
Des moines and the eastern side of the state has some test locations, I'm driving 150 miles to Sioux Falls to take mine.
You don’t need a license if the transmitter is Part-15 like cordless phones and store bought video senders. If you want more power and range you need the technicians class license and it looks pretty easy to get.
I sent you some links in a PM.

I do not think that the video transmitters the you buy are in the Ham band on 2.4 anyway. So for that purpose you dont need a license, but you have to use them as they are and as intended and not modified as to power output or frequency, which is the same for the R/C frequencies on 72 mHz.
By the way the "ham band" at 2.4 gHz is 2.300 gHz (2300 mHz) to 2.450 gHz (2450 mHz, so actually only 50 mHz of the ham band is in 2.4 gHz.
