Thanks for that Ron, much appreciated. Great video to. Ian is a good online buddy of mine and we have chatted by txt a few times. He has helped me a great deal on my short journey with drones.
Glad to have been of help. Itâs what this forum is all about.

Yes, best forum going. I use to run a locksport form and when new admin took over it got very bitchy so just left and left everyone to it.

i tried putting a strobe on the top of my mini2. the change in c of g made it so uncontrollable that it is the only crash i have had in 3 years. I would recommend placing underneath as long as it. doesnât take you over 250g

Categorically, any crash will not have had ANYTHING to do with âŚ
You can mount them anywhere without that impacting a drone.
You could mount a significant weight, on just one arm and it will still fly and be controllable.

I would agree with Dave @OzoneVibe , I fitted a strobe directly below the motor, on one of the real legs on my Mini 2⌠I was a bit apprehensive, but it had no discernible effect on the way the drone flew (no error messages either)

These lights ⌠significantly heavier, even relative to the larger Mavic Pro ⌠made not a jot of difference to the flying.
There was only a discernible change in motor/prop sound with the heavier load and the front running more than the rear due to the CofG moving forwards.

Thanks chaps. Im going to start looking for cheap strobes pref usbc rechargeable.

Iâm not seeing the relevance of its mounting method 
This still applies, regardless of how you stick a light on it:

âŚor not mention it at all, and hand catch it if commanded to land by anyone that might care, only to find the strobe has mysteriously detached in your palm, and somehow found its way into your pocket before you hand it over ! Not that I would ever condone such behaviour

Do you get done for doing 72mph

Or, the more usual, and more excessive, 25+ in a 20.
I really should be more careful!

It sounds like you have a good understanding of the regulations surrounding drone flying, especially in the A2 category! Itâs great to hear that youâre enjoying flying and filming with sub-250g drones. They can be quite versatile and are often easier to manage in various environments. If you ever decide to explore bigger drones in the future, just remember to keep those safety distances in mind

Thanks Chris⌠Next drone I would go for is an Avatar kit to get into a bit of FPV and this looks a good choice as think it can hover if thumb sticks released rather than just falling from the sky⌠Also looks very well protected for ant hard crashes.
