I have never flown one nor been around one TBH. I would like to have one that I can fly above our trailer yard to take pics/vids to post online, FB and other social media. My lot is 150' wide by 300' deep, so it will not go to far in theory. Any good cost-effective solutions?

I can't tell you best value or performance or all that but my son has a GoPro branded drone with everything built-in and I'm always amazed when I see him fly it. The camera is crazy stable you wouldn't know it's flying. He chases me in the boat and 4 wheelers and such, durn thing is fast. It'll definitely do what you want but I think it was around $1k.

I think the 2 year license is currently $150. You have to go online and find an FAA testing facility... hopefully nearby.
If you take a ground school, online school or some apps, it will be more depending on the cost of training that you may choose to take. You can find all material online for free from FAA.
If it is a one time shot like for a web page, it might be better to find someone locally to do it. Maybe $75 or $100 (or maybe less especially if someone is just starting and looking for work to display) and have a few photos or video to use.
I took a very good online school at remotepilot101.com for $150 but it is lifetime access so I can use it to renew my license this December. Then buying a decent drive for $400 or more. So online school, license test and drone might run $700 or more. You can find all of the material online for free if you don’t mind reading a lot of information and maybe get into if for $500 or less.
For a one time website shot, I would probably hire someone. If it is something that you might update often or do something else commercially, it might be beneficial to get the license.
