One pilot. One state. A real aerial library.
Florida Drone Stock is a single-photographer marketplace for 4K aerial footage and high-resolution drone photography of Central Florida. Every clip and every photo on this site was captured by me, Austin Munday, on flights I personally planned and flew. Nothing here is licensed in from other contributors. Nothing here is generic.
Why this exists
I’m a Central Florida REALTOR with Roost Realty Group and a sales manager in the aggregates industry. The drone started as a way to make better real-estate listing media — aerials of properties and neighborhoods that you can’t shoot from the ground. Over the last few years it’s become its own thing: weekend flights at Lake Eola, sunrise launches over the I-4 / 408 interchange, dawn passes over recycled-concrete plants, methodical sweeps of borrow pits and cattle ranches that almost nobody else is shooting from above.
I built this site because the catalog had gotten too good to leave on a hard drive. Hundreds of clips of places that the big stock libraries either don’t cover or cover badly — specific Florida landmarks, working industrial sites, real working ranches, real construction. The kind of footage a creative director or a real-estate marketer searches for, can’t find on Shutterstock, and ends up commissioning a custom shoot for. I wanted those buyers to find me first.
What you’re actually licensing
Everything in the catalog is native 4K (3840×2160) shot on a DJI airframe, color-graded in post, delivered as H.264 MP4 masters with the watermark removed. Photos are full-resolution JPGs, EXIF-intact. Each listing bundles every angle I captured at that location into a single license — one $79 Standard or $299 Extended fee, no per-clip charges, no surprise add-ons.
The big difference between this library and a stock-photo aggregator: I shot it. I know where the no-fly zones are, what time of day each location actually looks good, and which clips are usable for commercial work versus the ones that didn’t make the cut. If you ask for a shot that isn’t in the catalog yet but is in Central Florida, I can usually fly it within a couple of weeks.
Where I have a real edge
Two categories where the major stock libraries are genuinely thin: industrial / aggregate and working agriculture. Recycled concrete plants. Lime-rock and sand pits. Active borrow pits with the bench cuts visible. Cow-calf cattle operations on Central Florida pasture. These are the kinds of subjects that get bought by equipment manufacturers, environmental consultants, ag-marketing agencies, and developers — buyers who routinely can’t find what they need on the big platforms and end up spending five figures on a custom shoot.
The Orlando landmarks (Lake Eola, downtown skyline, the stadiums) are well-represented across the catalog too — but those are the easy ones. The industrial and agricultural footage is what makes this library worth bookmarking.
