    Sooooo....this happened.....CRASH!

    You can see at the end where I had tried to steer away, but it was a bit too late. I repaired the guards and gave them a new paint job. I did get lucky and don’t fly without them, at least for awhile.

    I designed my own arm clip for mounting anti collision/NAV lights

    Do the lights interfere with the camera exposure when videoing or taking photos at night? Are you using any Velcro behind the light against the arm? What brand if you are?

    Just got my first drone, Mavic Air 2 and what an expense these are! But I pulled the trigger anyway. I will be here often taking advantage of the group's wealth of knowledge. See ya in the forums! I already have a great crash video. The prop guards took a hit, but the tree was not left...
