Everything you need is on the FAA site, also 3DR has a free study guide
If you don't plan to sell your footage there is no need.
The prepware test is pretty cheap on mobile

You mean I do not have to take the 107 as long as it is just a hobby
I just tapped on my little microphone icon on my Android tablet and said "app store, remote pilot prep" and it came right up!
That is correct. Just go onto the FAA website and register. It costs $5.
The 107 is for those who intend to make money (in any way) from the use of the drone.
That being said, the information is still 100% relevant and having a basic understanding of the regulations, aeronautical charts, weather, and performance of the equipment is a great idea. It will help keep you legal, safe, and probably reduce the chance of a crash.
This is a great value for all pilots!
Even if your have no intentions flying your solo (or any drone) for anything other than a hobby, it's worth taking the time to learn the regulations to foster self awareness as pilots. It will only help us all in the views of those trying to curtail our love of flying.
I like the way you think
Honestly I thought all this regulation stuff was just government over reach, well, in a way I still do
but also must admit that I learned a great deal prepping, and feel more informed, and more empowered

Evidently they have the same prep for iOS

The more I read about FAA requirements, the more confused I become! I did the initial $5 FAA registration. Ok, good so far. Labeled my Solo, check. Then I took the 107 test, passed and got a PDF certificate emailed to me. Awesome. This is where I'm lost...don't I need to take two more tests, including a Remote Pilot's license to operate commercially? Please, if somebody had gone down this path, please let me know what else I need to do. I tried signing up for the Remote Pilot's test, but it's asking for a 17-digit test code, which evidently, I receive after taking some other test first. Any guidance would be GREATLY appreciated!

This is where I found the most info:
FAA Testing Archives - Group 3 Aviation News
But is that the only test I take? They call it the "initial aeronautical knowledge exam" which leads me to believe that there is another exam I'll need after this one. What am I missing here?

Did you take your exam at one of these locations? if so contact them, if not... you haven't actually taken the official FAA exam.
Perhaps an online practice one.

I took the Part 107. I have no idea what that certificate means, to be honest. But I did receive a certificate and a small cut/printout for my wallet. Is that a prerequisite of sorts? Or did I waste my time? Here's a part of the email I received after successfully completed the online exam:

The fee the FAA charges is $150 each time you take it. You'll have to wait 14 days before you can spend another $150 to try again.
you cant take the 107 online unless you are already a pilot.
You have to go into a testing center to take the test, it costs 150
then you get suav 107 certificate with a number. Then you register each of your drones for a unique number

Holy cow, so I was able to take the 107 without any pilot credentials? That's so strange! I simply followed the link that followed the $5 registration process. Took me to 107. Studied for about half an hour and took the online test. Not sure where I went wrong. :O
