[QUOTE="SPark_South_Oz, post: 123224, member: 17032"] Regarding strobes. They are not generally for a pilot to fly 3nm at night and see their drone, but for aircraft that may be in the vicinity to see the drone from that distance. I'm not convinced all strobes meet those guidelines (in fact quite sure they don't), apart from maybe the FHT ARCV, which can just about burn out the retina on start up, certainly they can give your vision a good dead spot for quite a while ! (Rod cells in the eyes are quite disturbed by all the led strobes, I'm sure !) Most drone pilots use strobes to help keep VLOS at reasonable distances, when you look up so you can spot your drone fairly easily. A requirement in most airspace regulation developed countries (just about all countries of course). There's good threads on strobes all over probably this forum, and especially the Mavic Pilots forums. This post of mine on the MP forum shows my Spark with 2 FHT Dual strobes in red and green fitted. Position, video in flight, etc. [URL unfurl="true"]https://mavicpilots.com/threads/vlos-rules-question.118742/#post-1341175[/URL] If you want to find your drone quickly aloft, go for white leds, they are the brightest and most visible by far.
