visibility

I have a DJI mini4 pro and I often lose VLOS simply by looking briefly at the controller. And it got me wondering why they don’t make drones in more visible colours like red for example? I think i could locate it better then. What if i hand painted it? Is that an option? Would the weight of the...

I was thinking about putting some reflective tape on my Mavic to make it easier to view when flying at a distance during the day. The angle of the sun will be a factor in the effectiveness of the tape. I like this idea as it will not alter the takeoff weight while at the same time can be cut...

Recently got a mavic air and have been learning about it overall. One thing I've noticed is keeping track of it, particularly when there's a background beyond the sky is tricky for me. What are my best options to give the drone more visibility? I was considering the LED prop guards but wasn't...

So, last weekend I was flying with some paragliding buddies and filming them air to air (see this thread for the result :D). We discussed the flight plan, separated the drone flying area from the paraglider flying area and only later did I move in a bit closer. I stayed sideways, aft or above...

I am still new to both drones and the Mavic. I found that it's easier to get interesting video when flying low. But when doing so, it is often very hard to see the Mavic with all the vegetation in the background, even when it's as close as 100-150 meters. And when I can not see it, I cannot...

Hey you lucky people who already have received your Mavic. . . . I'm trying to keep busy, while I wait for Santa in his UPS outfit. Fingers crossed for next week. Can you do a test for me? How far away can you still see Mavic with naked eye? At what distance does it disappear or become hard...
