Well i decided to check into a strobe light for my Autel so that i could see it easier during the day & dusk time while flying. I did a lot of research looking for a self contained unit that was bright enough to see during the day. I have a Polar Pro Gimble Guard that i mounted 2 brackets i had bent out of thin aluminum & secured with aluminum rivets (so as to not cause magnetic interference issues). I used velcro to attach 2 Firehouse Technology Cree high-intensity tri-arc white strobe lights to the brackets.(they also come in 3 colors & you can mix & match them to) I did some testing & the strobes weigh 6 grams each with battery, produce an extremely bright strobe that lasts about 6 hours, takes 45 minutes to charge using a micro usb cable. I can see it out to 1600' or farther during a sunny day & could be seen well over a couple miles at night although i haven't tried that myself yet. I'm very impressed with the strobes & the mounting of them after several different trials & errors. The weight has no issues with the Autel flying (trust me i know, i fly at 7500+ in elevation all the time where the air is a lot thinner) Also the Polar Pro gimble guard does not affect with the sonar sensors in the bottom. I took my Autel to a grassy area that was steep & it kept 2' above the grass as i made my way up the hill perfectly. Also the guard snaps onto the landing gear in 2 seconds & fits into my case next to my tablet. I just thought i would share my experience with others in the event your interested in using a strobe or strobes for additional visibility! I have attached links & pictures of my idea.
