Drone Photography & Video in Bloubergstrand — the craft

Highveld thunderstorms and altitude

Johannesburg drone work has the opposite problem: it is calm in the morning and violent in the afternoon. Summer thunderstorms build from the west from about 14:00 and the outflow winds arrive 30 minutes before the rain. We finish all exterior aerials by 13:00 in December through March and shift longer flights to winter months where the Highveld light is cleaner and the storms are absent. Altitude is a real consideration too — the aircraft loses roughly 15% of its rated flight time at 1700m above sea level, and we plan battery cycles around it so the pilot is never over a property with a red battery warning.

Data delivery and licensing

Every drone shoot ships eight to fifteen edited stills at 20 megapixels, a 30-second aerial reel where the brief calls for it, and the GPS-logged shot list so the flight is fully documented for the estate manager and the seller. The raw DNGs stay on our archive for two years. Licensing follows the same 24-month paid-media rule as our stills — the agent and the agency can use every plate in listing ads, brochures and social media without extra fees. Where the shoot is on a security estate that requires a written scan of the aerial imagery, we submit the final selection to the estate manager for sign-off before delivery.
