[QUOTE="lightbg, post: 52536, member: 5190"] No Problem. The Strobon's weigh in at 4 grams, so it might take 30 seconds off your flight time............. Drag is negligible, if even measurable. Look at a Spark from the front: with the gimbal all exposed there has to be some kind of turbulence and drag created at that point, but it seems to fly fine. The only real aerodynamic surfaces on a Spark are the blades (rotary wings, if you will) so it does better than a brick of equal weight and mass. I personally would sacrifice some flight time to trade off for visibility and safety any time, especially with LOS rules. I posted a video a while back of my Mavic flying at night with the Strobons. They didn't affect the camera until I got below 3 ' in altitude or hovered behind a car with reflective license plates, so no worries on that front. Jake [/QUOTE]
