In an attempt to aid my aging eyesight, ordered a strobe. Upon its arrival, found that I was also losing some of my cognitive powers. Nowhere to put it on the underside of an M2P.
Oh well, I can velcro it to my forehead in case I wander away from home and get lost...

You could use a smaller strobe light like the Flytron STROBON Cree or Firehouse Dual.

I use a single Firehouse on each of 4 landing leg extensions ... 2 facing forward and 2 facing the rear ... Velcro’d them on and they’re good to go ... I bought 4 white than added a green and a red so I can tell it’s orientation...

Good suggestions, thanks

With all due respect, these strobe devices do not seem to fit well or complement the drone look and lines. Is there a better designed strobe that does not look like your taping a loose hanging piece of material on your drone? Please don't get me wrong. If they function, great, but they look like crap on the drone.

whos gonna see your drone 300 feet up LOL I think being able to see the drone is more important then how it looks .

Try the mounts from Aerial Pixel.

Excellent point. I was also thinking having loose hanging strobe lights on the drone would make it more challenging to store the drone in its case. I still store my MPP in the leather case that came with the fly more kit. I know I need a larger case.

Love your Mavic design mate!

@PAW, if you need strobe mounts, I make them too. You can find them in my store here.

Thx PAW! This is exactly what I was looking for. I’ll be ordering soon. I also ordered a 3D printed attachment to hold a GOPRO camera on my drone. It works great. So I know 3D Printing can be a good option.

FWIW, the strobes do not need to be removed from the Aerial Pixel mounts once their in, just be sure to orient them with the charging connector open. These mounts fit finer over PolarPro M2P landing gear.

 

[Captain Lou]

I agree the look is much to be desired... the mounts shown by Aerial Pixel are more secure and not too bad looking but still not the best ...
they wouldn’t work with my landing struts that’s why I went with the smaller strobes and Velcro and I remove them for storage in my case... I think the best would be if DJI would have built them in with the ability to turn them on an off with the controller... maybe on the Mavic3 ? [emoji41]

@msinger I like the way yours attaches to the front arm instead of the antenna leg.
I use foldable leg extenders which might interfere with attaching the other style.

Got a link so I can see what you're using?

I use the PP landing gear also and the strobe mounts with the ARC2s fit right over them. No problems with controller communication/antenna interference ever noted. (I get full signal strength indicators on my CS.)

But variety is the spice. Each to his own for sure.

 

[msinger]

My mounts could definitely be attached along with those landing gear. You'd just need to keep the landing gear clear from this area so the mounts can be attached:
