Hello, I obtained Nav lights and a small 3D printed flashlight holder.
I would like to get sunset images but when I try to takeoff (indoors) I get a Not enough light warning.
Will this stop outdoor operations due to low light?
Perhaps a downward facing illumination device is required?
Cheers.
 
Outside you may get the low light warning but providing the Mini has enough GPS satellites it is still flyable. Many of my flights have been not long after midnight
If you have neither sufficient GPS or light it will go into ATTI mode and I would say that was very risky at night.
 
I flew my mini after dark on July 3 to try getting some fireworks photos. Lift off was in a well lit parking lot. Flew about 1000' towards the fireworks with no problem. It flew great and got some decent photos but next year or time,I want to get closer, within a half mile.
