Since I run ads on my site I can not post drone videos that I made without being commercially licensed by the FAA. If this is wrong please correct me but it came from several good sources.
I believe that is correct.

However, if you had somebody else come shoot the video and they happened to charge you an 'editing' or 'transfer fee' it might be a way around that?
