Drones & gear in Pretoria: local notes
Pretoria drone buyers include students at the universities, hobbyists in Montana and Silver Lakes, and farmers north of the Magaliesberg looking at spray and mapping drones. Shops can show the difference between a mini drone for travel and a heavier camera drone for paid work. Many new pilots practise on smallholdings near Kameeldrift or Mooikloof rather than in town, where bases, embassies and government buildings make free flying tricky.
Pretoria from the air
Pretoria is a city where the first question for any drone job is not the weather but the address. Waterkloof Air Force Base sits on the south east side, Swartkop to the south west and Wonderboom Airport in the north, while the Union Buildings, embassies, government offices and prisons add restricted spots in between. That still leaves plenty of work: university campuses in Hatfield, jacaranda season video in spring, property marketing in the eastern suburbs and inspections on farms toward Bronkhorstspruit. Summers bring heavy afternoon storms and lightning over the Magaliesberg. Winters are mild and clear, which makes them the best months for photography and mapping.
The requests we see from Pretoria usually come from:
- Estate agents and developers: a used larger sensor drone for listing photos at a lower starting cost
- Municipalities, schools and NGOs: schools and clubs buying tested used drones to teach flying for less
- Photographers, film crews and agencies: selling an older drone to fund an upgrade to a newer camera
