Mini 3 4 Dual Lighting Mount

[IronSky1]

I designed/built a dual lighting/accessory mount for my mini's. It works on the Mini 3 or Mini 4. I found some low cost lights that generate 3500 lumens (for 2) at .5m and only weigh in at 50g each.

Mini 3 or 4 come in at 390g complete. Doing more flight tests next week.

Really really hard to believe those lights are 3500 lumens.

Really really hard to believe those lights are 3500 lumens.

The only light on that size that maybe get close to that for few seconds is the Imalent ld70. These numbers are on paper only. I have 2 of those light's and they are more like 2000 lumens.

One of my videos playing with it.

I was looking for something that was not exspensive for the Mini users that want to experiment with night work. I use The Imalent myself on my Matrice drones however, they are heavy and costly. These 1" x 3" lights a inexspensive enogh that I can include the for users.

I measure all my lights the same:

1-Mounted .5m above sensor on a stand ambient light about 250
2-I use a Samsung Tab A SM-290 (same as I use for my small drones)

I capture screen using Screenshot Touch
This just gives me a baseline it may not be precise however, it is repeatable and place I can go back to.

Two of these lights mounted as I have give me 2758 average 4731 max. I just ran again.

^Why not post the specs provided by the manufacturer of those EverBrite flashlights or just the model number?

 

[IronSky1]

This is what I purchased from Amazon. These are not in the same league as Imalent however, its a low cost starter.
Like many items like these there are no real specs that I could so I measre everything.

Remeber 3500 for both on at same time still not bad for a couple dollars.

Agreed but I just didn't want your customers to end up unhappy with a couple of flashlights (with those batteries) that are really only about 50 lumen. Do you sell the mount alone without the flashlights?

Any chance you can create a mount for a real light like these or do these fit?

One question how do you determine the Everbrite are 50 lumen when they measure 3000 at .5m?

That does not give a baseline of distance from sensor and ambient light (meaningless). Let me run a test with the 2 IMALENT lites I have and EverBrite that way the readings are relative.

I have attached the light tests at .5m for the IMALENT LD70,MS03 and DUAL EVERBRITE
Added ROVY VON AURORA A3 very impressive and it only weighs in at 21g

This is how the 2 Imalents (4000) lumen each (on Paper) looks like on my Air 2S installed.

Looks good; I suspect many people already have their favorite A1 or A3 (they come in different colors) so you may want to provide an option to buy the mount alone.

[ampersand]

this is awesome, but very expensive fwiw imo when international shipping is included it's almost $100. do you plan to offer the .stl file for printing for sale so it can be printed locally ?

how much weight does it add the the airframe ?

takk ! ( i will be buying one soon anyway, if i could get one printed in fluro yellow or teal if you have that colour PLA, that would be even awesomer ! )

 

[IronSky1]

94 grams with 2 RovyVon lights 160 grams with the cheap lights

International Shipping is always a problem . I believe we have Teal type of color I will get swatch and send tommorrow
