I've had difficulty with VLOS. Purchased Firehouse LED and attached to bottom. Can now spot MM near sun. No more searching sky for grey spot. Highly recommend.
firehouse strobes are well built and will add very little weight; also found well designed 3d printed light mounts from aerial-pixel.com (they also advertise here).
I use and recommend Firehouse lights. I have versions for both my Mavic Air and Mavic Mini. Very bright, USB recharge and light weight. They work well for me, even in daylight, if needed.

In order to increase night visibility I wanted a very light LEDs system for my mini that could be easily removed. Just buying some 12V LEDs strip and plugging them directly on the battery makes the job to add 12 lights to the Mini. Those strips are stuck onto a 3D printed support. The overall...
