As I understand it, it is not activity that appears commercial, but activity that is commercially related whether compensate or not. So taking a video for use on a business web site is commercially related even if you are not being directly compensated for it. Taking a video for you own personal use is hobbyist. And the gray area but presumably will be commercial is if you take a video for you personal youtube channel, especially if you get ad revenue from the channel.
