My new strobe lights attached with a bit of Velcro. They work great!

Jay, I'm interested in your mini-strobes. As I get older, I tend to struggle more with my eyes. These mini strobes seem like they may provide some additional visibility.

Do you have a link to the specific lights your testing out?

If this would let me, I have a short video of my Mavic, taken on my iPhone, of three Cree LED strobes. White, Red and Green. Any help gratefully received

Nice idea i always wanted to add strobe for visibility as well, being led and tiny could maybe aid in helping find a downed drone if on top and bottom. Whats the run time on those? Also way more visible in the air, sounds like a win win situation!

I tested the Flytron strobes and mounted the white one on the rear extension leg:

Hi Trey!
I'm in the same situation with the eyes. These do make it much easier to see. Here is a link to the ones I ordered. I bought a pair of $9 lights and am currently waiting on the Cree version $14. They are on back order right now for two weeks but I think worth the wait. If you've got more money than sense there is another complaint that has the exact same thing for twice the price. I prefer to wait vs getting raked over the coals but...
Good luck and fly safe!

Yep. My thoughts exactly Eric! I'm not sure how long they WILL last but I've flown through 4 batteries and they are still blinking!

Just flew today in bright sunlight. Could see all 3 for 800'.

Nicely done! I get about the same distance out of mine. Can you please tell me how to post a video directly to this forum?
Thanks!
