In my opinion, yes. With colored strobes you can see it (maintain VLOS) MUCH farther out ...and if it crashes or goes down strobes will flash for hours making it easier to find.Is it worth putting strobes on your drone for day light flying?
I fly with a Firehouse strobe white cree LED. Lightweight and rechargeable. I find great benefit at dusk and dark. Daylight is dependent on background, where I may catch a glimpse (flash). If that glimpse helps with my orientation and prevents a problem, yep, worth it. I have yet to find any harm with a daylight strobe, except blindspotting when I accidently look directly at it when I turn it on
I agree with Starz, I have five pairs of 3M Dual Lock strips coming from Amazon.ca. They are about 1" square which matches my Firehouse Dual strobes size quite well. Cost was about $9 CDN.Velcro is a simple choice for me as it allows me to remove the lights and return the aircraft back into the case easily. As long as you use a good quality Velcro, it does hold well. Also allows for placement of the light wherever you choose.
Those 3m strips should hold your LED quite snugly.I agree with Starz, I have five pairs of 3M Dual Lock strips coming from Amazon.ca. They are about 1" square which matches my Firehouse Dual strobes size quite well. Cost was about $9 CDN.
I am planning on mounting a strip on the bottom of the MM and another on the battery door of my MM. I have two of the Dual strobes...so could mount both strobes or just one when flying. The 3M strips are light enough to leave on all the time, and also easy enough to remove if I change my mind later. I also have two Aerial-Pixel mounts for the rear legs so have a few mounting options...
I use one on the tail end of my MM, attached with velcro. View attachment 88682 6gms weight. I can do a 360 to get a glimpse of orientation, if needed. I also use the larger Firehouse with multi light color strobe on my MA, velcro on top rear, as it has adequate lights on the arms.
I always use strobes. Firehouse 4 white on bottom and 4 green on battery door all with velcro. Know where your gps is before you mount anything on top!Is it worth putting strobes on your drone for day light flying?
