New skin improved visibility and custom

[wjkrysak]

I customized my MA2 with a new skin and feel good about it. It improved visibility from several hundred feet and the custom feel when it landed. Here are some flight pictures. Show off your skins

I often wonder what the best colour of a skin would be for visabuility, generally the drone is up against a light sky so would dark or colourful be best ?

Not hard, decal is flexible in lifting and repostioning. Take some patience and time. Good instructions come with it. There are youtube that show how. Wish you the best. There are many to chose from.

I agree, I have skinned several times and have found that most and color will not matter once you have some long distance ( a dot in the sky). I have found the "brighter" colors appear more visible for my type of flying, close in and VLOS. I have not tried any "neon" colors. Others may wish to weigh in on those. This color works for me for several 100 feet and looks great close up and landing. I was testing the follow feature in the woods today and glancing back, it was very visible. BTW: That is incredible, to watch it stop, think and then go around a tree to capture me again. Another story for another thread
Hope that helps. Good luck with choices. Many available.

I like my "Red Baron" I definitely was going for high-vis over anything else!

I've had this one in my cart so many times. I like the way the parts that aren't wrapped still blend in.

I think you made a good choice. What pleases you is important. I am looking at a Wrapgrade army (dark) bumby camo for my MM. . Your quad looks great. Enjoy your flying.

I went with green to match my 910 case, turned out good and I'm happy.

I picked this, thought it would be different

There is a reason why they are white. One color that the majority of birds avoid is white. A dull or bright white signals alarm and danger to birds, causing them to avoid those areas.

Well, that certainly hasn't been my experience--swallows, gulls, crows, and other birds didn't seem in the least bit worried about my stock Mini or MA2 color.....

The eye is most sensitive to yellow and least sensitive to blue. Reflective, polished aluminum like surfaces have terrible visibility, this is from experience as a GA pilot.

Left is my MPP and right is my MA2. I got both from DecalGirl. The MPP skin went on pretty easy. The MA2 skin was a little more difficult but not terribly so.

Just stating the science: Colors That Attract Birds - And How to Use Them!
Perhaps the birds where you fly are colour blind lol.

Very nice choice!!

The new Mavic Air 2 with half inch yellow heat shrink on front legs for better viz and position orientation.

I bought my Mavic Pro secondhand and it had a full "carbon fibre" wrap' I was not a great fan and when it started to lift on the corners I decided to strip it completely. I think it now looks much better naked and unadorned. Luckily we still live in a world where we can have personal choice.
However I am tempted to try some form of fluorescent wrap on the belly (underside), as it might help my ancient eyes.

Here is my M2 Zoom wrapped. Easy to apply and the instructions are very easy to follow. Don't attempt to put a skin on if you have had a big night prior........you need steady hands. The material is pretty forgiving though if you need to reposition anything.
