About Drone Depot
Welcome to Drone Depot — your number one source for drones, DJI products, drone repairs and accessories in New Zealand.
Our mission is simple: to provide Kiwi pilots with expert advice, genuine products, and the best service in the drone industry.
Our Story
Drone Depot was founded in 2012 by Grant Wilson, whose passion for aerial photography sparked the beginning of something much bigger. Grant spent countless hours researching the latest drone technology so he could help fellow enthusiasts get the right gear and learn to fly with confidence.
Starting from a small space in Ponsonby, Auckland, Drone Depot quickly grew — and during those early years, we became one of the first retailers in New Zealand to stock and service DJI drones and accessories. That early commitment to expert knowledge and hands-on experience shaped the business we run today.
Growing With New Zealand’s Drone Community
Drone Depot has continued to grow as the drone industry evolves, and over the past year we’ve expanded our store and services to better support our customers. Our new facilities include a larger display area, improved workspace, and enhanced equipment for diagnostics and repairs.
We’ve also expanded our technical team, bringing in more experienced technicians to provide faster, more reliable in-house repairs. Whether it’s maintenance, troubleshooting, or advanced diagnostics, our workshop now handles it all with greater efficiency.
As drone technology progresses, we remain committed to staying ahead of the curve—testing new DJI releases, updating our product range, and offering expert guidance for hobbyists, filmmakers, commercial pilots, and enterprise operators across New Zealand.
