Just Wondering has anyone got any good ideas to make the mavic mini 2 more visible in the daytime, I know most of the problems are its size, such a pity great little drone in many respects, very happy with it :slightly_smiling_face::+1:

I have one of these, it is very bright and does not push my mini 2 over 250g. However the placement of the strobe on the top does not make it easily visible in the day!

I have Just Ordered a few bits from China ie Strobe lights, they are the button cell Type, im just going to try them see what i can do & as i have another drone a larger Parrot i can always use them on that, the 250 Gram limit is a pain but it makes more sense to me to have Better line of site than a few Grames of Weight & after all it is only a bit of weight.

To help with vlos it needs to be on the underside really.

I have my flytron crees on the underside of both rear arms so not only does it help with vlos but also helps with orientation (even more so as I use 1x white and 1x red).

I tried the button cell type and found them to be terrible.

I ended up buying a few strobes and they’re spot on.

I.also.wrapped mine in bright yellow. Much more visible these days

Fly when it’s cloudy! Not being flippant: I find it much easier to see the Mini 2 silhouetted against grey than blue.

I use the Flytron strobe with the supplied velcro pads. They seem to work fine.
Dayglow stick on body cover helps too.

I find clouds harder than a blue sky haha
