About Droneshutters: aerial filming and survey from Kigali

Droneshutters Ltd is an aerial and geospatial data company based in Kigali, Rwanda.

Who we are

Data first, from the air

Droneshutters began in aerial production and grew into a geospatial data company. Today the majority of our flying produces measurement rather than pictures: classified point clouds, terrain models, orthomosaics, vegetation index rasters and condition reports. Every one of them is a geospatial data product: a measured, dated, referenced output you can put to work, not a gallery.

We work for energy and infrastructure clients, public sector land and planning teams, conservation and environmental programmes, agribusinesses and cooperatives, and media and development organisations.

Our field teams operate across Rwandan highland terrain, in corridors, marshland and steep terraced ground where conventional survey is slow, costly or unsafe.

How we work

Safety and compliance

  • Every mission is formally planned and permitted before take off
  • Site risk assessment and airspace coordination as standard
  • Strict separation from people, property and live infrastructure
  • Insured operations with maintained, inspected equipment

Method

  • RTK and PPK positioning with independently surveyed control
  • Accuracy verified against check points and stated in the report
  • Deliverables in your coordinate reference system and formats
Beyond the Horizons

Every flight ends in something you can use

A survey is only finished when the data is in your team's hands, in the format they work in, with the accuracy stated.
