Hi all,
pardon any possible duplication, forum search didn't (immediately) yield any specific answers.
I'm a very new pilot, fortunate enough to start on a Mini 2 and loving it as I learn.
I've read (but not tested) the actual weight is 242 grams so any payload up to 7grams will keep the Mini 2 below the 250g threshold.
Where I live, daytime visibility is generally bad (more so this time of year) and with "line of sight" requirements, toying with the idea of getting some lights for my Mini 2 (have visually lost it a few times already). Some research has yielded that the Arc "V" by Firehouse Tech is a favourite and only 4g (but US based, so not sure on delivery times/prices).
My question is: do Mini 2 owners generally add lights (those in the UK at least) for daytime flights, what other implications are observed in flight/stability (payload mode of course) and what other hardware options do people use?
The same would go for weatherproofing: I've seen the Phantom Rain products which look great, but nervous about flying in mist (lest alone rain) with open prop motors and presumably the gimbal motors are still exposed? I also assume weight would exceed 3g for any such solution?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts and advice.
