Question 1

What licenses are available for drone footage on Drone Icarus?

Accepted Answer

Three tiers per clip: Personal (social media, education), Commercial (advertising, marketing), Editorial (broadcast, documentary, attribution required). Each is a one-time payment with perpetual usage rights inside that tier.

Question 2

How much does Drone Icarus pay pilots?

Accepted Answer

Pilots keep 85% of every license sale and 85% of every Super Chat tip during live broadcasts. No subscription required.

Question 3

Can I commission custom drone footage?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Post a brief on the Commissions page (location, budget, deadline) and verified pilots bid in a reverse auction. Funds are escrowed until you accept delivery.

Question 4

Are the drone clips royalty-free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Once you license a clip in a tier, you can use it indefinitely within that tier's scope without paying again. Re-licensing for a different tier costs the difference.
