The aerial record,
on the record.
MC Drones captures the imagery and thermal data that South Florida property decisions actually rest on — listings that have to move, roofs that have to hold, buildings that have to pass, and claims that have to be proven. Flown by an instrument-rated pilot. Delivered in 24 hours.

MEASURED MONTHLYFour capture methods, two economics
One company that makes property sell, and one that makes property provable
Indoor 3D, Exterior 3D, Thermal, and Cinematic — four silos, one aircraft. They hedge each other. When South Florida listing volume falls, storm and hard-market claim volume rises. When the market runs hot, cinematic and indoor-3D media print cash while exterior-3D and thermal compliance work compounds underneath it. Most operators here have one. We run both.
MC · Marketing
Make the property impossible to scroll past
Listing media, resort and hospitality cinematic production, estate film — the Cinematic silo. High velocity, fast cash, twelve-day collection. The engine that lands accounts.
- 24-hour delivery, day and twilight, horizontal and 9:16 vertical
- Perpetual license — the asset belongs to the property, forever
- Warm referral channel into hospitality — GM and marketing-director relationships, not cold outreach
MC · Intelligence
Know what the property is, inside and out
Radiometric thermal, exterior 3D mesh, Matterport indoor 3D twins, milestone and SIRS envelope capture, independent claim documentation. High margin, regulated, recurring. The engine that compounds them.
- Radiometric thermal at 0.41 in/px — moisture found before it reaches the deck
- Exterior 3D mesh, claims/listing grade — same flight as thermal, not a survey
- Structurally independent — we sell no roofing and take no contingency
Same roof, two views
The photograph shows the roof. The thermal camera shows what is under it.
One flight captures both. Ordinary photographs first, then the same roof with a temperature scale laid over it. Spots that run hotter or colder than the roof around them are marked, measured and labeled, so a wet or failing area stands out.
Homeowners, adjusters and roofers all get the same evidence: every finding comes with the photograph and the thermal image side by side, so the claim and the repair scope rest on what the roof actually shows.
How the roof survey worksWhy now
Florida wrote us a ten-year demand curve
SB-4D and HB-913 require every condominium and cooperative building three stories and up to complete a milestone inspection at 25 years within three miles of the coast — then again every ten years, forever.
Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach already have 696 buildings flagged on the Fannie Mae unavailable list over milestone and reserve issues, and the HB-913 coordination deadline lands December 31, 2026. Every one of those buildings needs its envelope documented, by someone, on a repeating cycle. We fly that coastline already.

Frequently asked
Questions we get asked
What areas does MC Drones cover?
We are based in Naples and fly both Florida coasts. Collier and Lee County — Naples, Marco Island, Bonita Springs, Estero, Fort Myers — are our home market with no mobilization charge. Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach are covered at a flat $285 mobilization. Outside that footprint, ask us.
How fast is delivery?
24 hours from flight for listing media, roof condition reports, wind mitigation sets, and claim documentation. 48 hours for thermal envelope surveys, 72 for cinematic work and orthomosaic datasets. Priority dispatch cuts standard turnaround in half at a 35% premium. We hit our SLA 96% of the time and we publish the number.
Are you licensed and insured?
Every flight is conducted under FAA Part 107 by a certificated remote pilot. Our pilot in command also holds an FAA private pilot certificate with instrument and multi-engine ratings and a degree in aviation science — which is not typical in this industry and is the reason our airspace planning is different from it. We carry $2M aviation liability and will name your entity as additional insured on request.
Can you fly near the airport / on the beach / over a condo?
Usually yes, with authorization. Most of coastal South Florida sits under controlled airspace — MIA Class B, FLL and RSW and PBI Class C, APF and FXE and BCT Class D. We run the LAANC grid against your specific address before you book and tell you the authorizable ceiling. Where a grid cell reads zero, we file a manual FAA authorization, which needs lead time. We would rather tell you no on the phone than arrive and not fly.
What makes you different from the other drone operators here?
Three things, and they are all verifiable. An instrument-rated pilot in command rather than a weekend Part 107 holder. A hospitality relationship behind the Marriott and Hilton properties we have shot for, healthy and still referring work today. And structural independence on the intelligence side: we do not sell roofing, we do not take contingency, and we have no position on what your data turns out to say.
Do you work with public adjusters and attorneys?
Yes, and that is the correct way to engage us for claim work. Florida requires drone operators working an insurance claim to be employed by or contracted with a licensed adjuster. We work inside that structure. If you are a homeowner without representation, we will introduce you to adjusters on either coast.
