Does anyone put Skins on their Drones? If so which one (s).

Lots of discussion and photos on this subject previously.
Use the search function above and type in skins.
Plenty of good ideas and links to products.

Got from DecalGirl. Fit perfectly. Makes it easier to see. Love it.

I use Decalgirl also.

I had a skin that had a metallic look, which, I think, interfered with GPS signal. Removed it soon after I had an expensive crash.

I made the landing pad out of cardboard and covered it with the rubber mat you put under throw rugs to stop them from sliding. That way the mini won’t slide off the cardboard. The 2 holes are for my fingers so I have a good grip. I have a big blue orange nylon pad but this one works well for landing by hand. My long term goal is to bring it on my boat so I will have a bigger target than my hand to catch my
Mini.

A great idea!

"Airburst" from iStyles. I like the measure of of Black on the sides and rear pylons for a measure of increased visibility. The glossy Skin seems to increase visibility to a degree.

I checked with DecalGirl. Their Airburst for MA2 shows a drone that wasnt a MA2. Caveat emptor. I found iStyles.com @ 25% less.

I prefer strobes for visibility but put a black carbon fiber skin on mine.

Much easier to see in the air... DecalGirl also.

How does your strobes fit over the CF skin? I dont fly at night but occasionally press hard up against sunset and twilight. Ive a Top Mounted strobe for use at these times. I like the low profile. Its not special. One blinding white strobe mode. All my batteries have velcro attachment for the strobe. The underside of the strobe allow me to clip it onto my shirt/jacket for stumbling back to '70 CST transport with the strobe flash leading the way.

I like the glossy too. I have that skin on my Air 1 but it's matte. My bad. I'm thinking of changing it out. I had the red baron before and loved it, but DJI replaced that drone with a new one and never said why..I had sent it along with the controller for controller problems.
I think other dealers sell the Decalgirl skins that aren't big movers at a cheaper price. I see many listed by Ebay dealers.
