Just ordered a batch and your strobes.

Thank you for your order! I'll be shipping it out today.

What if you have a skin? Do they still fit securely?

They will likely not fit properly over a skin. If you'd like to place an order, PM me after you order and let me know the thickness of your skin (should be documented on the site where you purchased it). I'll make you a custom set of mounts that'll fit.

until I create a dedicated thread about it.

I looked through all posts with Msinger AND Marco Polo.
I am a Johnny-come-lately to the Marco Polo and I want to find a good place to mount it. It looked like you were going to make / source a mount, possibly a snap-on mount for an arm. Could you please make a suggestion or direction on mounting the compact model.

This is what I've come up with for my Inspire (on the left in the photo) on the right is my Strobe mount for the MP, both are a flexible rubber filament, I could merge the 2 together. The Marco Polo I have is the older one not the Ultralight model though, I would need your Marco Polo tracker dimensions.

I just use velcro . . and works quite well with STROBON . easy on easy off and takes quite a pull to get it off so I use one one either side of the Arms.

Here's a link to a photo of my installation (the smaller, lighter, non-waterproof version): Techniques to locate lost Mavic - how to find?

In this configuration, the Marco Polo stays in place at all times; the legs fold fine with it in place and it can be charged in place. Note that the antenna will touch the ground if you don't use leg extenders (which I also leave in place at all times). I've tested it in my heavily-wooded area and feel confident it will function at a realistic 1/4-1/2 mile range, which should do the job assuming I know approximately where it went down.

The only problem I've had with my Marco Polo is remembering to turn it on before flight and off when packing up.

Thanks, you just reminded me to go turn mine off. I took it out for a spin this morning and demoed it for a friend and he was impressed.

I have four of MSinger's strobes and mounts--two white LEDs for rear legs, and red and green for the front. Love 'em. I don't use them all that often, so I don't mind attaching/detaching them as needed.
