About this supplier

Cyberdrone delivers large scale aerial light shows that transform night skies into living canvases for storytelling and branding. Based in Cape Town for this listing and serving clients across South Africa and the wider African continent, the team produces bespoke drone performances for events of any size. Their shows are designed to captivate audiences and elevate moments into lasting memories, with worldwide experience and a strong focus on creative impact.

Powered by in-house technology and expert operators, Cyberdrone’s swarms can form intricate 2D and 3D visuals, logos and messages, all choreographed to music for a cohesive narrative in the sky. The company highlights fast drones, dynamic animation and custom light narratives, with typical show durations of up to around 18 minutes. Their portfolio includes high profile projects such as a 3, 000 drone show for Eurovision 2026 in Vienna, a 3, 000 drone performance for an anniversary in Abu Dhabi, and a branded sequence in Cairo, demonstrating both scale and precision.

Cyberdrone’s shows suit an extensive range of event types. Corporate gatherings and conferences benefit from message driven sequences that reinforce brand identity. Stadium and sports presentations gain fresh spectacle and fan engagement, as seen in football themed showcases. Music festivals tap into the drama of after dark skies with synchronised aerial choreography. Real estate and destination marketing teams use drone visuals to bring masterplans to life above the site, creating powerful PR moments. Seasonal celebrations such as Christmas and New Year, as well as themed dates like Halloween, are given a luminous centrepiece that photographs and films beautifully for social media.

Each production is tailored from concept to final flight. Creative directors develop storyboards and animation to align with event goals, whether that is unveiling a logo, revealing product silhouettes, or building a sequence that evolves with rhythm and tempo.

With in-house control systems and a dedicated operations team, Cyberdrone aligns technical planning with creative intent so the show reads crisply from key audience viewpoints.

Hybrid formats add extra dimension where desired. Cyberdrone produces drone and laser combinations that layer beams and aerial pixel art for heightened depth and texture. The team also works with pyro drone concepts, synchronising aerial formations with pyrotechnic effects for a high energy finale. These options provide planners with flexible ys to scale spectacle to suit venue size, programme flow and audience capacity.

Execution involves careful site design and compliance. Drawing on specialist knowledge of launch site requirements and airspace considerations, Cyberdrone advises on factors that shape a smooth show, from take off zones to viewing angles. A Flight Permits and Regulatory Coordinator within the team reflects the company’s attention to permissions and procedures, while experienced pilots manage swarm control and on site operations.

I had an incredible experience with sipho and Veon from Africa Drone Kings. My DJI Mavic 4 Pro needed repairs and they managed to diagnose and fix the issue within two working days, which honestly exceeded my expectations.
What made the experience even better s that they were able to repair it locally, meaning I didn’t have to send my drone all the y to DJI in China and it weeks for it to come back. For someone who relies on their drone for professional work, that kind of turnaround time is priceless.
Their communication s clear, professional, and friendly throughout the process, and you can really l they know these drones inside out.
If you’re a drone pilot, filmmaker, or content creator and need reliable servicing or repairs, I highly recommend Africa Drone Kings. Fantastic service, quick turnaround, and genuinely great people to deal with.
Thanks again Sipho & Veon — really appreciate the help! 🙌🚁

I’m very disappointed with my experience.
I brought in my DJI Mini 3, and according to the shop it s booked in with one controller and one battery. When I collected it, I s given the drone back only with the controller, the battery s missing.
I contacted the shop immediately and even provided a video showing me opening the parcel I received, clearly without a battery inside. Despite this, they claim no battery s booked in and have now stopped responding to my messages.
I simply nt my battery back or a proper resolution. Unfortunately, the lack of communication and responsibility has been very frustrating.

Veon is excellent. Always helpful with great advice. He is an asset to ADK and i specifically check the site regularly as i know my purchases will be safe in his very capable hands, and that any queries will be responded to immediately. Thanks Veon.

I initially nted to give Africa Drone Kings Somerset West a five-star rating because of their friendly, attentive, and prompt service.
However, the repair process for my drone turned out to be frustrating. I repeatedly had to for updates instead of receiving proactive communication from their side.
When I eventually received my drone back after six weeks, the propellers were still visibly damaged, which made it clear that their quality-assurance processes need serious improvement.
Summary: A friendly and knowledgeable team—especially on the sales side—but communication and repair quality fall short. Their repair checks and customer service follow-through require significant improvement.

I ordered a done online. After about 30 minutes I s ed and told that they "had sold 'that one' 10 minutes before I ordered". but they could order me one for R2000 more than that price. (not on special). Avoid.
