Here they are aloft...
Can't see my screen properly now ?
Here they are aloft...
Good to know, thanks.I have taken my ARC2s and/or ARC XLs while still in their @Aerial-Pixel mounts on and off my drones 4-6 times a week for about 2 years.... I was an early adopter of the XLs... bottom line no problems with the lights, no need to remove from mounts to charge, and no damage noted to the light holders, legs, or Wrapgrade skin on my drone. The front mounts were made to fit over the PolarPro landing gear.
And finally... day or night, unless there is fog, they don’t become visible in, nor interfere with videos or still pictures.Good to know, thanks.
Except bugs! But can be an interesting target.And finally... day or night, unless there is fog, they don’t become visible in, nor interfere with videos or still pictures.
If you feel you received the wrong mounts, please either post photos here or PM me (so I can see what you're describing).Got them them thanks, but the mounting does not match your photos. I ordered a front right and rear left, but placing the notches as you describe along with the cut outs in order to get the USB charge port to the outside for charging doesn't match.
I don't think @Thomas B uses my mounts, but they are high quality and can be removed/reattached many times. They are a made of a very high quality PLA (not brittle like many 3D prints).I believe msinger mounts are very well made and quality printed though, so maybe repeat use is fine . . . @Thomas B uses his drone a lot, has various mounts of msinger, so maybe he can advise on his experience, but I'm sure we would have heard something from him if he'd even had a problem.

Put the strobes on and flew today. I photograph a new building that has been going up for the past 32 weeks. Every week I shoot from 7 different angles and the last shot from 400'Here they are aloft...
Why can’t manufacturers replace the existing light both front and rear with changeable strobes ie red green on the ground and once airborne they strobe white? Just a thought
I'm assuming you mean the batteries failed. The LEDs themselves probably don't fail as often.We've had a few failures with the firehouse strobes
Which model?Between 3 of us that use who use the 4 strobe units, 2 had a single emitter go out and on another one the battery got hot and melted.
The Arc-II's (four strobe) failed...one was red the other was white and both only one emitter shut down. Both failed after being used for several days. No visual sight of what caused it but loosing just one emitter made a huge difference at further distances out. I don't know why the battery melted down on my friends. The guy it happened too might have plugged the usb port in backwards...he don't see so good close up. He's a really a cool guy though and probably has purchased over 300 bucks worth of FH products. He's always giving them away to his other flying buddies so he doesn't know if there were any issues with those. Overall most of them have been very reliable for my uses and all of mine are working fine.Which model?

Hmm... not sure that's possible ?The guy it happened too might have plugged the usb port in backwards
Yeah I wondered about that. Not sure about the pin positions used and whether it even can make contact upside down. No matter the cause, he's got a hole in his carpet. It did happen during a charging session.Hmm... not sure that's possible ?
