  Say for example, I'm making a DVD for profit on how to mow a lawn. If I'm using a Honda lawn mower to show how to mow it, do I need permission from Honda? Is all I have to do is mention them in the credits in the end? There is nothing specific about the mower that I mention but it used in the DVD
  
  appreciate all replies
  
  thanks

  I think that your question involves trademark law (using Honda's trademark) rather than copyright law, which is beyond the scope of this Forum. For basic information on trademark law, you might want to start with the US Patent & Trademark Office's web page: http://www.uspto.gov/main/trademarks.htm
