Roodepoort notes on drones & gear
Roodepoort buyers range from Weltevredenpark families after a camera drone for holidays to small surveyors in Florida looking at mapping drones. With ridges and wind, a heavier drone that holds its position in gusts often makes more sense than the smallest mini. Ask a shop for the wind rating, and test the drone in a calm, open spot well away from the botanical garden and Florida Lake.
Drones in Roodepoort
Roodepoort is ridge country, and the rocky Witwatersrand outcrops give drone pilots height and wind in equal measure. The Walter Sisulu National Botanical Garden, with its waterfall and nesting eagles, and Kloofendal Nature Reserve are protected areas where flying needs permission from the managers. Elsewhere the work is practical: estates in Ruimsig and Wilgeheuwel marketed from the air, old mine land around Florida and Maraisburg surveyed for redevelopment, and shopping centres inspected on their large roofs. Lanseria Airport is close to the north. Strong gusts come off the ridges ahead of summer storms, and winter brings cold, still mornings that suit careful mapping flights.
The requests we see from Roodepoort usually come from:
- Estate agents and developers: a cinewhoop for smooth fly-through clips of show houses and lodges
- Builders, engineers and installers: a ducted FPV drone for close fly-throughs of finished buildings and halls
- Hobbyists and families: a ready-to-fly kit with goggles for weekend flying at a club field
