Client Results

What clients say

★★★★★
The house sold within 7 days of posting the video Nycc created for us. It was previously on the market for over 100 days — one video made all the difference.
RB
R.B.Real Estate Agent, Berkshire Hathaway · Columbus, OH
★★★★★
We had Nycc come film our resort for our grand reopening of our hill-tram and the work was TOP NOTCH! He was on site all day and filmed places we never even thought possible, especially with a drone!
EK
E.K.Regional Operations Director, Karma Kandara · Uluwatu, Bali, Indonesia
★★★★★
We hired Nycc two years in a row for our annual Beach Bash and he did amazing long-form drone content for our YouTube channel. He is such a reliable asset to work with for our events.
JW
J.W.Founder, Houston Diesels · Houston, Texas
★★★★★
This was easily the best marketing footage we’ve ever had someone make!
BG
Bee My Guest VillasAirbnb Villa Management · Bali, Indonesia
★★★★★
Nycc was very easy to work with. He helped us market our roofing services in a way we have never seen before or even considered, giving us an edge on how our clients see us versus our competition.
CP
C.P.Owner, Texas Roof Specialists · Houston, Texas
★★★★★
Fifth time in Bali, and I’ve shot plenty of my own stuff. This was another level. He rolled in at 8, I had color-graded 4K in every format I needed before breakfast was done. The content is fire.
CH
C.H.Social Media Influencer, Real Estate Developer · Lagos, Nigeria
★★★★★
As an insurance agent, climbing on a roof is frustrating and dangerous, so having Nycc come out and take the photos I needed for my client was clutch! He even helped me become a licensed Part 107 FAA pilot myself and still keeps in touch 2 years later!
JM
J.M.Insurance Adjuster, JMonet Consulting · Houston, Texas
★★★★★
Nycc filmed 9 campuses over the course of 2 weeks across 3 cities for our college and helped us revamp how we attract students across the US! Our footage was old, so having a drone fly through our actual classrooms gave prospective students a real look at our learning environment.
JB
J.B.CEO, Ogle School · Dallas, Texas
★★★★★
We had Nycc come out to our drifting competition to get shots of our racers, and we — AND THE DRIVERS — loved his shots! We have had him here twice now and each time gets better and better!
LS
L.S.Event Coordinator, Clutch Kick Motorsports · Houston, Texas
★★★★★
As a social media influencer/transformational coach, videography is key for my brand, and Nycc was able to film me over the course of a week in multiple locations and really bring out the best in my initial idea — well past what I thought was possible!

About Launch UAVs

Veteran-owned. Certified. Built on reliability.

Launch UAVs was founded by Nycc Laye, a retired U.S. Army veteran originally from Columbus, Ohio. What started in Houston, Texas has grown into a drone media practice that serves clients across the United States and on destination projects worldwide, including extensive work across Southeast Asia and Bali.

We specialize in cinematic FPV fly-throughs, aerial video, real estate media, event coverage, drone training, inspections and mapping — helping businesses, creators and property owners capture perspectives traditional cameras can’t. The work is grounded in military discipline: preparation, clear communication and safety on every flight.

FAQ

Good to know

Are you licensed and insured? +
Yes. Launch UAVs operates under a current FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate and carries active drone insurance coverage. A certificate of insurance and FAA credentials are available upon request for eligible commercial projects.
What does a project cost? +
Typical starting ranges: Real Estate from $650, Weddings from $900, Festivals/Events from $1,000/day, venue & brand packages (B&Bs, golf, wineries, dealerships) $1,200–$2,200, Tourism/CVB campaigns $1,700–$3,100, construction mapping $800–$1,500, roofing inspections from $300, and FAA Part 107 training from $125. See the full pricing page for what’s included — a detailed line-item breakdown is available on request. Final pricing depends on location, scope, travel and deliverables.
Do you travel for shoots? +
Absolutely. We work nationwide across the U.S. and take on select destination projects worldwide, with deep experience across Southeast Asia and Bali. Travel is factored into your quote.
What’s the difference between FPV and traditional drone footage? +
Traditional drones deliver smooth, stable cinematic aerials. FPV (first-person view) drones fly fast and fluid — diving, weaving and flowing through interiors and around structures for that immersive, scroll-stopping look. We shoot both.
How fast will I get my footage? +
Turnaround is agreed up front based on scope. You’ll always have a clear timeline and direct communication from quote through delivery.
How do I book a project? +
Every project starts with a quick quote request so we can confirm your date, scope and final pricing. Tap “Get a Quote” on any package, share a few details, and we’ll get you scheduled fast — usually within hours by text or WhatsApp.
