What to know locally in Western Cape
Cape Town has many camera drone sellers in Century City, Claremont and the northern suburbs, and buyers often want compact drones that cope with the south-easter.

Second-hand drones change hands often, so ask for proof of purchase and the flight log.
Drones in Western Cape
The Western Cape has the country's busiest film and photography trade, and drones feature in many shoots, from adverts on the Atlantic seaboard to wine farm marketing in Stellenbosch and Franschhoek. Farmers use drones to map vineyards, orchards and Swartland wheat, and to spray where approvals allow. Saldanha Bay, Cape Town harbour and large building sites add inspection and survey jobs. Airspace needs care: Cape Town International, George Airport and the Ysterplaat, Langebaanweg and Overberg air force bases all matter, Koeberg power station is a key point, and Table Mountain National Park is closed to drones. The summer south-easter and winter cold fronts decide most flying days.
Typical thermal drones requests in the area come from:
- Photographers, film crews and agencies: occasional wildlife and documentary work where heat images tell the story
- Farmers and growers: finding lost stock, checking irrigation and spotting hot spots in stored crops
- Estate agents and developers: showing missing insulation and damp patches on large roofs before a sale
