For videos it's also not great at an average of $4.23. Tough business. Thank you for sharing! Are you doing any postproduction or just uploading straight. I just trim the videos a little bit. 8

Hello Everyone,
How are your drone photography sales going? I have about 100 photos, but my sales haven't been great. What kind of shots are selling well for you? Should I take overhead or from the side? From 400 feet or close to the subject as possible? 9
