SNEAK PREVIEW!! Last night during our InterDrone night flight training program, we had opportunity to put the new Autel D3060 lighting system to the test. 8 students flew for three hours with the Evo and D3060 light kit.
We were knocked out.
Two independent strobes, two independent lights (front is 30 degrees, side is 60 degrees) 200 lumens, five mile+ visibility.
We ran one Evo using the Autel saddle system, that holds two D3060's. We ran another Evo system using only one strobe, velcro to the Evo.
We ran one side in strobing mode and the other instrument in a solid illuminator mode.
The d3060 is charged via USBC connector, is completely waterproof, and simple to install/remove and runs solid light for over an hour, approximately 2.5 hours in strobe mode (we aren't sure of exact battery life; we decided to go to sleep after 2.5 hours of observing the strobe.
There was no noticeable impact on battery life.
We threw them at each other in a "light fight" to see how durable they are (notice the dirt?) We put them under water to clean them off. Then we threw them around some more.
While these will not be available for around 30 days, we were thrilled to have access to the beta versions, and put them in the field with real users under real conditions, and test them out. These are powered by FoxFury, the same team that brought us the Rugo, Rugo2, and lighting equipment used by law enforcement forensic teams, emergency services, and filmmakers all over the globe.
We are told they should be available from Autel and their dealer network sometime in the next 30 to 45 days.
