Mini Strobe

[Deleted member 84685]

Was just thinking on ways to make mini me a bit more visable
Found this that used to be on the phantom but it's rather oversized to fit anywhere but the tailgate,are they safe to put on top shell also ,really wanted one on the bottom but not really goin to work,,I might have to spend some money on couple new ones,,
Thanks @MA2 317 for the advice on the link,,it just didnt come up like others I do so presumed it failed

Here’s one that is fairly new. They are rather bright.

ViFly Strobe Anti Collision Drone Light

VIFLY Strobe uses 5 3W Hi-intensity LED which provides the greatest range available for a mini strobe. 360º 3+ mile visibility satisfies all FAA guidelines, a must-have accessory for your safe flying at night. Each color has 3 modes, strobe, slow flash, and solid. You can use 3 white LEDs for...

,are they safe to put on top shell

I've seen no problems using strobes mounted on top of the Mini 2. I've used both the ViFly and the Firehouse Arc V. I was a bit concerned about the effect on the GPS and controller communication, but there's been nothing.

Thanks,this looks ok,3mile pretty good too,price is nice and cheap,might cost me bit more due to bad dollar exchange but in my price range,,I got a few lying around but same size as above in my clip,they just seem big compared to the drone size lol,,I dont have no white though except the phantom 4 headlight set ,red good in the evening but not the best in daytime,,I'll bite the bullet on this ,,just nothing in NZ ,Ebay and similar are only option and some orders lately very slow due to Corona beer oh covid ha,,appreciate the link thank you

Yeh they could have come a colour that dont match the clouds, I just got a skin to help visibility but it's only on the top which is useless,they could make a bottom decal easy enough

Thanks that's good to know,I been looking at teardown pictures to see what's under the shell but was unsure to slap one on the roof,that's why I stick it on the back,

I have a couple of the VIFLY strobes. They've worked fine for several months. <$15 and they advertise 3+ miles visibility, which would meet FAA requirements. Three colors and three modes selectable with a switch. Qualitatively, I don't think they're quite as powerful as my ARC V light, but they're very impressive.
