Hobby buyers in Rosedale and KwaNobuhle often start with a folding camera drone or a 250 g mini drone for family outings to Groendal Dam. Factory engineers ask about thermal drones for checking roof panels, electrical boards and solar arrays on the big sheds along the industrial strip. Second-hand drones turn up through Gqeberha sellers, so ask for flight logs, battery cycle counts and proof that the unit has not been crashed or opened.
