Eastern Cape notes on drones & gear
Gqeberha and East London have the main camera drone sellers, and buyers in Makhanda, Komani and Mthatha often order from there or online. Citrus farmers around Kirkwood and Addo look at spray drones for orchards, while stock farmers near Cradock and Middelburg use camera drones to check sheep and water. Surfers at Jeffreys Bay and Cape St Francis like small folding drones, but should pick one that holds steady in strong wind.
Eastern Cape from the air
The Eastern Cape stretches from the Karoo plains around Graaff-Reinet to the Wild Coast near Mthatha, and drone jobs are just as varied. Gqeberha and East London have vehicle plants, the Coega zone and busy ports, bringing inspection and survey work. Wind farms near Jeffreys Bay, Humansdorp and Cookhouse need blade and tower checks. Citrus growers in the Sundays River Valley and pineapple farms near Bathurst ask for spraying and mapping. Surf spots, private reserves and Wild Coast villages draw tourism footage, but Addo Elephant, Mountain Zebra, Camdeboo and the Tsitsikamma section of the Garden Route park are national parks with no drone flying. Strong coastal wind is the main limit, so many flights wait for a calm morning.
