Affiliate Disclosure.

Amazon Associates

Drone Starter Guide is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. When you click a product link marked as an affiliate link and complete a qualifying purchase on Amazon, we earn a small commission. This commission is paid by Amazon and does not increase the price you pay.

How affiliate links are marked

Pages on this site that contain affiliate links display a disclosure notice at the top of the relevant section. Product links to Amazon open in a new tab and use our affiliate tag. The footer on pages with affiliate links also notes their presence. You are never required to use our affiliate links and can find any product directly on Amazon or elsewhere.

How recommendations are made

Product recommendations on Drone Starter Guide are based on publicly available manufacturer specifications, community reception, and category context for first-time buyers. We clearly disclose when we have not personally tested a product. We do not fabricate star ratings, write fake reviews, or make unsupported testing claims. Affiliate relationships do not determine which products are recommended. A product is not listed here simply because it pays a higher commission.

Editorial independence

Affiliate income supports the cost of running this site. It does not change our editorial standard, which is accuracy and beginner clarity first. If a product is not a good fit for most beginners, it is not recommended regardless of commission rate. We do not accept payment to feature products, write sponsored posts, or promote products we would not recommend to a first-time buyer.

Price accuracy

Drone and accessory prices on Amazon change frequently. We do not list specific prices because they may be outdated within days. All pricing information on this site should be treated as approximate context only. Always check Amazon directly for current pricing before making a purchase decision.

FTC disclosure

In accordance with FTC guidelines, Drone Starter Guide discloses its affiliate relationship clearly and conspicuously before affiliate links on any page that contains them. This disclosure applies to all product links on this site that include an affiliate tag.

Other programs

If Drone Starter Guide adds affiliate relationships with other retailers or manufacturers in the future, this page will be updated to reflect those relationships before the links go live.

Questions

If you have questions about our affiliate relationships or want to report a link that appears to be missing its disclosure, please contact us.
