Strobe lights came up in a Smart Controller thread and it was suggested that a new thread on the subject was appropriate. So here it is! I know there are already various threads but maybe a consolidated thread that discusses lights, lighting, strobe lights and attachment methods might be appropriate. This might include ways to trigger them on/off remotely (I've read of hook/release thingies trigged (photo sensors) by the controllable landing lights).
I've got the Strobon in white and red. While I did get plastic mounts for them, they can interfere with folding the drone so I've opted for velcro. The white are apparently the brightest. I was having trouble seeing my gray drone against a somewhat distant tree line. It was just lost in that background. The strobes really helped. Similarly, a couple of weeks ago, it was lost in the glare of snow and mountain scenery and the strobes helped in that situation, too. I admit I'm a new flyer and relying on the visual clues from the camera are not enough assurance for me. Visually locating the drone is more comforting.
Is anyone interested in a Light thread?
