The short version
Florida Drone Stock (floridadronestock.com) is a single-photographer marketplace for 4K aerial drone footage and high-resolution drone photography of Central Florida. Founded by Austin Munday in 2026, the catalog covers the Orlando metro and the broader I-4 corridor — landmarks, sports venues, working industrial sites, agricultural land, real estate, and infrastructure. Royalty-free licensing at $79 Standard or $299 Extended per location bundle.
The site sits in a niche the major stock-media platforms underserve: hyper-local, single-state, single-photographer coverage of subjects (industrial, aggregate, agricultural, hyper-specific Florida landmarks) where the broad libraries are visibly thin. Buyers include equipment manufacturers, environmental consultants, agriculture-marketing teams, real-estate brokerages, and editorial / documentary use.

Founder bio
Austin Munday is a licensed Florida REALTOR with Roost Realty Group and a sales manager in the aggregates industry. Florida Drone Stock grew out of his use of drones for real-estate listing work and a personal hobby of capturing Central Florida landscapes — the catalog covers locations he’s flown personally, with a deliberate focus on the industrial and agricultural subjects the major stock platforms don’t cover well.
