Real Estate Drone Photography in Johannesburg

Local pilots know which estates need HOA permission and how the light falls on hillside and coastal stands, so ask for quotes from operators who work in Gauteng.
The main real estate drone photography page explains the types, the licences and the costs in more detail.
Drone services in Johannesburg: local notes
Paid drone work in Johannesburg covers film and advertising shoots in Maboneng and the CBD, progress video on construction sites in Waterfall and Modderfontein, and roof inspections on older homes in Houghton and Parktown. Mine rehabilitation and dump reclamation projects in the south often ask for repeat mapping. Any operator you book should hold an RPL and ROC and be able to explain how they get permission to fly near the airports.
Johannesburg from the air
Johannesburg gives a drone pilot more variety in one day than most cities. Work ranges from skyline shots over Braamfontein and Hillbrow for agencies, to roof and solar checks in the northern suburbs, to volume surveys on the old mine dumps along the southern edge of the city. The catch is airspace. O.R. Tambo lies to the east, Lanseria to the north west and Rand Airport to the south east, so a lot of the metro sits in controlled airspace and paid jobs need planning. Summer afternoons bring thunderstorms and lightning, so shoots tend to be booked for mornings. Buyers range from first-time hobbyists to production houses, engineers and security firms.
The requests we see from Johannesburg usually come from:
- Photographers, film crews and agencies: listing content for property marketing agencies and real estate social media pages
- Estate agents and developers: listing photos, twilight shots and short clips for agents, developers and guesthouses
- Builders, engineers and installers: aerial marketing photos of new developments as show units and phases are completed
