Broadcast, sport & endurance events
Live aerial coverage that keeps pace with the event.
Drone Division provides live aerial coverage for broadcasts, sporting and endurance events in Gqeberha | Port Elizabeth and across South Africa. Our pilots coordinate with multi-camera crews to communicate the movement, geography and scale of an event.

Broadcast integration
Integrated with the live production.
Live aerial work depends on more than the aircraft. We coordinate with the wider production team, understand the route and schedule, and plan the aerial component around the demands of the broadcast and the event.
The result is coverage that adds useful geography and energy while fitting the communication, safety and technical systems already in place.

Experience under pressure
Coverage built for demanding conditions.
From helping to pioneer live aerial coverage of the Cape Town and Comrades Marathon routes—with pilots operating from the lead motorcycle for every kilometre—to filming in the Peruvian Andes and remote regions of Chad and Tanzania, our team has experience working where preparation and communication matter.
Safe & coordinated
A legal operation within the event plan.
Each flight is planned around aviation regulations, airspace, spectators, route access, weather and the needs of the production. Drone Division is licensed and insured for commercial drone operations throughout South Africa.
