Hello folks,
I just purchased a small strobe light to attach onto my Air 3S, so I am looking to find the ideal position on where I could attach the strobe light module. The module itself is small, about 40mm x 30 mm x 15 mm. The ideal position ideally (yes) offers the least disruption to fuselage airflow when flying forward and during side wind, while balancing weight distribution.
I heard the Air 3S is a bit front heavy due to the bigger gimble and Lidar module up front, but I couldn't really tell by trying to balance it on my fingers (I don't know how else to find the weight distribution, and I only have one small kitchen scale). Arm or bottom mounts are not considered as I consider those to severely impact weight distribution/sensor function.
I decided to put it about the mid point of the top of the fuselage, covering the DJI logo. I have seen photos online where the strobe light is placed near the front topside of the fuselarge, i.e. above the Lidar. Granted the sample aircraft is an Air 3, but I feel like the strobe light would interfere with the OA sensors or even the camera itself, while worsening the Air 3S's front heaviness.
Thoughts?
