I disagree.

ITs been released and its $700

Some testing for safety factor.

Mind did the same thing twice. If not for the soft snow It would have been damaged.

This has happened to me twice (not near water) and if not for soft snow im sure it would have seen damage, I filed a case with autel after the second instance. Sent it back to them. They sent it back with no explanation and no fix and said they can find no problem with the craft and that they...

Once the weather warms up I will test more. Search an rescue payloads could be anything a person would need. Rope, life vest, flashlight, cell phone, two way radio, etc.

Now that Im satisfied with the drone SAR lighting design Ive made, I took the time to shoot the video for the payload drop device. Thanks to my helper battling the snow on crutches. This system is about a half pound lighter than a recently released drone attachment from another party and mine...

I revised the design and spread the light beams apart to cover more ground. Here are the results in the video link below.

And still unavailable or even a price quote for what the d100 might cost. And its only 2300 lumen good for 100 feet. My DIY version is either 4000 lumen all the up to 300 feet or 3200 lumen also up to 300 feet. And I wont require separate landing gear.

Correct but I dont own that drone. Im making do with an autel Eveo 2 Dual. That is why Im conducting these experiments on different lighting options. I want bright and long beam throw but the lightest package I can find. Its a work in progress. And its centered around the drone I own. Since this...

Thanks for the input. Autel and Foxfury are releasing an even heavier search light option authorized by Autel to mount to the Evo 2 so They must think its Ok to carry a lighting payload. The D100 light is so large it need its own landing gear.

Ive mentioned my Evo 2 Dual drone lighting project (for SAR) using small and bright LED flashlights. It finally warmed up enough to fly last night to test out a few lights. Im still working on the payload drop clip. Here is the video of the project thus far.

My math says the light you posted is producing about 6 lumens per gram of weight. The unit Ive developed is producing about 10 lumens per gram of weight. 1800 lumens at 184 grams. with a 200 yard beam 30 mins of run time. When you change the drone battery you drop in another light battery.

Thanks guys

doesnt this mass under the drone mess with the collision avoidance on the bottom as well as the two sensors?
