Hi all I’m having difficulty seeing my Mini 2 esp with the light grey against these winter colours. I have a strobe but in bright conditions it is still not great. Thought a coloured skin might help… Anyone here had a variety of skin colours fitted to their drone/s and an opinion on what was more …

Thanks al for your inputs… and @DeanoG60 links to the other thread I think after all the comments I don’t think there is one solution… So my plan… is a skin with Hi Vis orange … closer to Red that I wanted but some brightness of Yellow. The other thing I thought about was the positioning of my St…

Hi, I’m looking for the same, I really like Red , but like you would like to hear from someone who has tried different colours.

[image] Have you wrapped your bird? Modifications And no, I’m not talking about putting a blanket over your girlfriend roll_eyes rofl I know @RaRaRasputin has (but I think he’s yet to post pics here (hint, hint!)) and I think it looks mental +1 Seriously tempted… Anyone…

Thanks for the link @DeanoG60 i did do a search but you found it for me… thanks :+1:t2:

TBH … unless the drone’s quite close, the drone is too small to discern a colour. It just remains as a spot against the much brighter grey sky. Nothing beats strobes for visibility … and there’s more about them here … Those CREE Strobes are Sooo Bright! Strobe LED's or a search on “Strobe” will g…

[20211007_154834] I went for the Day-Glo Orange which is especially good when I’m on a cliff taking photos of Sea, Sand , rocks etc as its so different against the natural colours at the coast ( and in the sky for that matter ).

This is interesting @MartG1960 I think the darker definitely against the sky… just wondering against darker areas then… woods or thickets. I have seen a red set of skins… not overly bright either. I think it is all a compromise over what your flying against. wondering If you can buy reflective re…

I’ll try and sort a pic out but I have wrapped mine black carbon on the underside and flourescent red top so if it ever lands unexpected it will help stand out too

Controversial maybe, but don’t bother. Get some Strobon Cree Lights instead along with some clips to put on the back legs. https://greyarro.ws/t/flytron-exclusive-gadc-discount-code/1875 White ones probably work best for in the day/night. Although you can get red/green as well, which work equally …

What colour skin for visibility of my Mini 2?
