Drones in Pietermaritzburg
Pietermaritzburg is the Midlands capital and a city of events, plantations and farms. Drone crews film the start of the Comrades Marathon and the Dusi Canoe Marathon on the Msunduzi River, while timber and dairy farms in the surrounding hills ask for mapping, tree counts and fence line checks. Pietermaritzburg Airport at Oribi sits on the south side of the city, so flying over Scottsville and Pelham needs care. The city lies in a bowl, and on still winter mornings smoke and mist pool over the centre, cutting visibility until mid-morning. Summer brings heavy afternoon thunderstorms with lightning. Prisons and police stations in the city are no-fly spots, as they are everywhere.
Typical drone light shows requests in the area come from:
- Farmers and growers: a drone show at a wine farm festival, harvest celebration or agricultural show
- Photographers, film crews and agencies: event agencies adding drone shows to concerts, festivals and broadcast specials
- Estate agents and developers: a launch show for a new estate, mall or development with the project emblem
