I am looking for a "stock footage" site that specializes in aerial drone video.

If you mean a site where aerial/drone footage is the main focus, rather than a general stock-video library, there are a few worth looking at:

• airvuz.com — Probably the closest match to what you're describing. It is specifically built around drone video and has curated collections by city, country, landmarks, nature, FPV, transportation, etc.AirVuz+1
• dronestock.com — Specifically dedicated to drone stock footage, with thousands of clips. Its footage is offered free under a CC0 license, including commercial use according to its site.DroneStock
• pond5.com — Not exclusively drone-focused, but has a very large aerial library and particularly good video-search/filtering capabilities.Pond5+1
• artgrid.io — More cinematic/story-driven than drone-specific. It offers unlimited downloads on its subscription and footage up to 8K, including LOG/RAW material.Artgrid

If you're remembering a particular site, I suspect it may be AirVuz or DroneStock. AirVuz is especially distinctive because the entire site revolves around drone cinematography rather than conventional stock footage.

If you tell me whether you're looking for free footage, paid/licensed footage, or really high-end cinematic drone footage, I can narrow it down to the 3–5 most relevant sites.

While major macro stock sites (like Shutterstock or Pond5 ) have massive aerial libraries mixed into their general catalogs, a few specialized platforms and community networks focus heavily or entirely on drone and aerial cinematography:

• DroneStock : A dedicated platform specializing exclusively in royalty-free 4K drone and aerial video clips. It features targeted categories ranging from nature and volcanoes to urban and sports sequences, making it easy to search strictly for UAV perspectives without wading through ground-level B-roll.dronestock.com+1
• AirVuz : Primarily known as the premier global community hub for drone pilots, AirVuz also operates DroneTV , a licensable library curated directly from top-tier aerial creators. It is ideal if you are looking for high-end cinematic, landscape, or FPV drone work with a distinct pilot-driven style.airvuz.com+1
• Drone Safe Register Aerial Stock Hub : If you need specific location-based commercial footage (heavily weighted toward the UK and Europe), this platform features thousands of clips vetted and uploaded by a network of professional, commercial drone pilots. You can search by specific maps, landmarks, or shot types.dronesaferegister.org.uk+2
• Pixabay : If you are working with a tight or zero budget, Pixabay hosts thousands of free, user-contributed drone stock video clips that are cleared for commercial use under their open license.pixabay.com

If you have a specific location or theme in mind (e.g., coastal waves, city nightscapes, mountains), let me know and I can help you target which of these platforms will have the best match for your project.

Yes. If you mean a site where aerial/drone footage is a major focus, rather than just one category among millions of stock clips, these are the strongest options:

• filmsupply.com — Probably the closest match if you want high-end, cinematic drone shots. It has thousands of curated 4K/raw drone clips, including FPV, landscapes, travel, cities, and commercial-style footage. Filmsupply emphasizes footage from professional filmmakers rather than generic stock.Filmsupply+1
• pond5.com — Much larger marketplace, with a dedicated aerial section and a huge range of drone footage. Better if you need specific locations, subjects, or lots of inexpensive choices.Pond5+1
• artgrid.io — Good choice if you're looking for cinematic, story-driven footage and want an unlimited-download subscription rather than buying individual clips. It supports footage up to 8K and RAW/LOG formats.Artgrid

My pick

If your description is literally “a stock-footage site specializing in aerial drone video,” I'd start with Filmsupply for quality and Pond5 for sheer selection.

If you tell me what kind of drone footage you need—nature/landscapes, real estate, cities, travel, FPV, industrial, ocean, mountains, etc.—I can find the most specialized site for that particular type.

HOsiHO is a specialized platform that focuses explicitly on aerial and drone stock footage.hosiho.com+1

While major general agencies like Shutterstock Video or Adobe Stock carry millions of general clips, dedicated niche libraries provide curated cinematic options shot by professional legal drone operators.shutterstock.com+2

Alternative Major General Libraries with Deep Drone Catalogs

• Shutterstock Drone Footage : Offers millions of high-definition and 4K aerial clips covering everything from FPV racing to nature sweeps.
• Adobe Stock : Features extensive high-end cinematic aerial views integrated cleanly with editing software packages.shutterstock.com+1

If you'd like, let me know:

• What specific type of location or landscape (urban, coastal, mountains) you need
• Whether you require 4K resolution or standard HD
• Your budget or licensing needs (editorial vs. commercial)

I can help narrow down the best platform or specific collection for your project.

If you can tell me what specific type of environment (e.g., urban cityscapes, rugged mountains, tropical beaches, or industrial farmlands) and budget you're working with, I can narrow down which site has the best exact matches for your project.

If you mean a site where aerial/drone footage is the main specialty, rather than a general stock library, I’d look at these:

• drone-stock.com — A dedicated drone-footage marketplace/library. This is probably closest to what you're describing.
• pond5.com — Huge stock-video marketplace with extensive drone/aerial footage. It specifically supports searching/filtering for drone footage, and its current library has tens of millions of videos.Pond5 Blog+1
• filmsupply.com — Better if you're after cinematic, high-end aerial footage rather than inexpensive generic stock. Its library is highly curated and sourced from professional filmmakers.Filmsupply+1

If you tell me what kind of drone footage you need (e.g. real estate, cities, beaches, mountains, travel, 4K/8K, FPV), I can find the best 5 specialized sites and compare their pricing/licensing.
