Destinations, events, heritage and recognisable regional icons.
The stock-worthy check
Stock-worthy content is technically strong and immediately useful in a professional story.
Stable, sharp and correctly exposed
A clear, recognisable main subject
Commercially useful length and composition
Current, timeless or editorially relevant
Flown safely and legally usable
Accurate metadata, location and context
Think like a footage buyer
Buyers need different perspectives and room for titles, logos or crops. Keep movement calm and give every shot one clear purpose.
Start with a stable establishing shot in which the complete location and horizon are easy to read.
Show how roads, water, buildings or landscape relate to the main subject.
Use lines, symmetry, repetition and structure to highlight a defining feature.
Fly calmly forward, sideways or upward. Avoid random turns and abrupt gimbal movement.
Do not always centre the subject. Leave negative space for a title, logo or alternate crop.
Change height, direction, distance, season, weather and time; avoid near-identical takes.

DroneStock FAQ
No. Approval depends on technical quality, commercial usefulness, recency, rights and existing supply.
No. Relevant subjects may improve discovery, but buyer demand varies and sales are never guaranteed.
Yes, when they genuinely differ in perspective, season, timing, composition or information value.
Search DroneStock for your place, municipality or subject first. Missing locations and clearly new perspectives are often valuable.
Current footage is valuable for infrastructure and development. Timeless landscapes and relevant archive footage can also be useful.
Submit individual clips with preferably 10 to 30 seconds of usable footage. Choose one smooth, stable shot per clip, without compilations, music, text or logos. This is a guideline, not a strict maximum duration.
