What type of drone do I require?

As I stated earlier, there are many drones out there. Your purpose of purchase will determine the type of drone to buy. After you’ve narrowed it down to the type of drone you want, it becomes pretty easy to identify and select the appropriate drone.

 

How much should I budget for the drone I need?

Your specifications (spec) will determine the budget for the purchase. The more the spec, the higher the cost. However, kindly note that a highly priced drone does not always warrant quality. Drone prices in South Africa range from ZAR 673.78 to as high as ZAR 32,004.53

 

What are the regulations for flying drones in my area?

Do you, by any chance, know the regulations for flying drones in your area or the area you intend on flying the drones? If yes, good for you. If not, try and find out the regulations that have been put into place regarding the flying of drones in your area. This is a vital factor to consider before the operation of the drone commences.

What should I consider when buying a drone?

1. Flight time and Range

2. Weight and Size

3. Remote Control

4. Speed

5. Profitability

NB: Prices depend on which outlet you get the device. Where do I get to buy drones from in South Africa?

From what I got from vendors, since drones do not move as fast as phones in South Africa, most shops do not deal with them. Telefonika South Africa is one of the few shops that sell drones in South Africa. 

 

NB: The specifications for all stated drones and more are also listed on these platforms.

 

What brands of drones does Telefonika South Africa have in stock?

Telefonika South Africa has 3 middle and high-end drones in stock. They are DJI Air S2 (ZAR 31,330.75), Mavic Air 2 (ZAR 21,880.99) and DJI MINI SE (ZAR 10,932.07 (with 3 batteries), ZAR 8,405.40 (with just 1 battery)). All purchases come with one (1) year warranty.

Well, the drone you need will determine how much you will have to pay. Make sure to research enough on what you need before completing a purchase. My advice for first-timers, start with a low-budget drone and upgrade as you gain more experience. Good luck.
