At Thumb Drone LLC, we deliver stunning aerial and handheld photography and videography tailored to meet your unique needs. Based in Michigan, we bring 15 years of marketing experience in addition to over 8 years of UAS experience, FAA Part 107 certification and insurance, and a passion for creative storytelling to every project.

OUR FLEET & CAPABILITIES
Our cutting-edge fleet ensures unmatched versatility, precision, and cinematic quality across every type of mission:
- DJI Matrice 4E: Built for enterprise-level inspections and large-scale mapping and 3D modeling, this powerhouse drone brings enhanced flight time, advanced sensors, and RTK precision—ideal for orthomosaics, volumetrics, infrastructure, and critical site documentation.
- DJI Air 3S: Dual-lens system and 50MP photo capabilities make this a go-to for real estate, construction updates, and crisp, high-resolution visuals.
- DJI Avata 2: Perfect for immersive FPV fly-throughs, building tours, and dynamic interior-exterior transitions—ideal for real estate, tourism, and marketing campaigns that demand next-level energy.
- DJI Neo: FAA-compliant for Operations Over People, making it the safe, legal choice for festivals, parades, and crowded public events.
- DJI Mini 4 Pro: Compact but powerful, with true vertical 4K video for content creators and social media-driven marketing campaigns.
We combine aerial excellence with full post-production capabilities, leveraging the Adobe Creative Suite—including Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, and Illustrator—to turn raw footage into eye-catching visual stories.

Quick response and availability. They essentially repeated back to me what I was asking and needed to demonstrate that they read and understood what I was asking. What I got back was exactly what I needed, and it all looked very polished and professional. Very easy to work with. I would recommend them and hire them again without hesitation. Thanks!
