Drone Photography & Video in De Waterkant — the craft

What the aerial plate shows

The core aerial package for a property is three plates: a top-down site plan at about 80m showing the stand size and boundary, a hero establishing shot at about 40m that includes the mountain or sea backdrop, and a low reveal at about 15m that carries the eye from the pool up to the front elevation. Estate homes add a wide plate that shows the security context — perimeter wall, guarded gate, greenbelt — which is a real driver for the family buyer market. Commercial and industrial mandates get a very different set: a top-down that reads the tenant mix, a corner elevation for the leasing brochure, and a parking plate for the yield story.

How we plan a flight

Every flight starts with three checks the night before: the airspace over the address, the wind and cloud base for the shoot window, and the consent position on the ground. Daylight, visual line of sight, below 400 feet and clear separation from people and neighbouring property are non-negotiable, and we agree a launch and landing point with the agent or estate manager before the day so the aircraft is never lifting off from a public pavement or a neighbour's verge. Each flight is logged with coordinates, launch time and battery cycle, which is what an estate manager or body corporate asks for when they want assurance. Jobs that need controlled-airspace clearance or a certified commercial operator are booked through a partner with the relevant SACAA approvals, quoted transparently and scheduled around their availability.
