Brands & partners we've flown for
Resorts, job sites, festivals, listings — we get the angle a phone or a ground crew can't reach, in cinematic aerial and FPV that's built to sell. Veteran-owned, FAA Part 107 certified, fully insured. U.S.-based, global reach.
We'll fly almost anything, but four lanes are where the portfolio, the FPV skill and the licensing really pay off — hospitality, live events, construction mapping, and pilot training. Start here.
Full-property cinematic and FPV that walks a guest through the arrival, the room, the pool, the sunset — the reasons they book. Built for resorts, villas, tourism boards and DMOs.
Big days you only get one shot at — festivals, rallies, races and activations from the air, then a highlight reel that makes people wish they'd been there. Reliable enough that clients rebook year after year.
We fly your active build on a set schedule and hand back 2D/3D site maps and annotated progress stills — documentation that settles disputes and tracks the job from dirt to ribbon-cutting.
One-on-one test prep and hands-on mentoring to get you licensed and actually flying with confidence. It's the most affordable way to work with us — and most students send the next job our way.
A one-off shoot is great once. A program keeps your content — or your site record — fresh on a schedule, at a better rate, with your dates already held. Pick a cadence and we run it.
Monthly or per-milestone flights across an active build. Maps and annotated stills, same angles every time.
Seasonal footage so your resort or villa always looks current — fresh reels and stills each quarter.
Recurring marketing or inspection content across a portfolio — property managers and real estate teams.
Monthly lot and inventory content that keeps listings and social feeds looking active all year.
Recent productions — leading with the resort and destination work, then brands, events and beyond. Captured from Bali to Houston, Lagos to the Philippines.
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!
This was easily the best marketing footage we've ever had someone make!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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! Having a drone fly through our actual classrooms gave prospective students a real look at our learning environment.
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.
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!
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!

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 go deepest on hospitality and destination content — hotels, resorts and villas — alongside cinematic FPV, recurring construction mapping, inspections and Part 107 training. Every flight is grounded in military discipline: preparation, clear communication and safety, licensed and insured.
Founded in Houston with Columbus roots, Launch UAVs flies coast to coast and across the globe — same reliability, same attention to detail, whether the shoot's down the street or across an ocean.
We stand behind the work. Every confirmed project is built around an agreed scope, intended use and deliverables. If delivered media doesn't match the agreed scope, technical standards or approved direction, we'll provide reasonable revisions, replacement edits or another fair make-it-right solution.
