Qalantix choreographs swarms of light-carrying drones into living logos, portraits and stories above your event. No smoke. No fallout. Just pixels in the air.
Every Qalantix show is designed from scratch around your brand, venue and story — then flown by a synchronised swarm with each drone placed to the centimetre.
Logos, product reveals and taglines painted 120m wide in the sky — an aerial billboard every phone in the crowd films and shares.
Two names, a heart, a countdown, a question — formed in light over the reception. A private moment made unforgettable.
New Year, Heritage Day, Freedom Day, festivals and sports finals — crowd-scale displays that gather a whole city under one sky.
Beat-matched aerial visuals that turn a headline set into a 360° moment — the finale people talk about for years.
Milestone birthdays, galas and exclusive brand dinners — intimate shows scaled precisely to the venue and the guest list.
Recurring signature shows for waterfronts, lodges and landmarks — a nightly headline act that gives visitors a reason to stay.
Drone shows deliver the spectacle of pyrotechnics while clearing the hurdles that make fireworks hard in modern South African venues.
A clear, four-stage path — so you always know what happens next and when.
We unpack your event, venue, audience and the single moment you want the sky to deliver. You get an honest feasibility read and a ballpark fleet size.
Our animators storyboard every formation and sync it to your music. You approve a 3D preview of the show before a single drone leaves the ground.
We handle the airspace: site survey, risk assessment, SACAA approvals and public-liability cover — all filed well ahead of show night.
On the night, our crew runs pre-flight diagnostics, launches the swarm and flies your show to the beat — then files the post-event report.
Drone count drives how much detail and how many simultaneous shapes the sky can hold. We’ll recommend the right fleet once we know your venue and story.
Every show is quoted individually — fleet size, choreography complexity, travel, permitting and insurance all factor in. Tell us your event and we’ll build a tailored proposal.
South Africa saw its first major drone light show in 2018, when a 300-drone display lit up the Johannesburg skyline. Since then a handful of operators have emerged, but demand — for New Year, Heritage Day, brand launches and weddings — is growing far faster than supply.
Qalantix is building for that moment: a locally-run studio pairing world-class choreography with on-the-ground knowledge of South African venues, weather and airspace.
Drone light shows in South Africa are regulated airspace operations. Qalantix builds every show around current and emerging SACAA requirements — safety is designed in from the first storyboard.
Shows are planned to meet Civil Aviation requirements, with written Director approval sought well ahead of each event.
Every site gets an operations plan, risk assessment, exclusion zones and a tailored flight path before approval.
Appropriate third-party insurance is in place for each display, as required for operations near people and property.
Geofencing, return-to-home and per-drone tracking, with full pre-flight diagnostics on GPS, comms and LEDs.
South Africa’s proposed Part 97 / SA-CATS 97 framework introduces a dedicated Multi-Drone Light Show Operator Certificate, a minimum 30-day application notice and post-event reporting. We track these rules closely so your event stays on the right side of the regulator.
