[QUOTE="Northwood Mediaworks, post: 115966, member: 6411"] Just posting this as I know some folks are curious about strobes, perhaps it will help someone. I came from the [URL='http://store.dji.com/product/spark?utm_source=djiforum&utm_medium=forum&utm_campaign=keywords&pbc=dapforum']Spark[/URL] to the MA2, so as its about twice the size when unfolded, I was happy that it would be just that little bit larger in the sky. However, with aging eyes and varying contrasting backgrounds, its going to be small just a little later that it was with old [URL='http://store.dji.com/product/spark?utm_source=djiforum&utm_medium=forum&utm_campaign=keywords&pbc=dapforum']Spark[/URL]y! With that in mind, I took the online advice of many and purchased some strobes. In my case, the Firehouse Technology ARC 2's. I had just one on the [URL='http://store.dji.com/product/spark?utm_source=djiforum&utm_medium=forum&utm_campaign=keywords&pbc=dapforum']Spark[/URL], so I have now purchased two more (all three go on the MA2, I move one back when flying the Spark). I can now say that it really does improve finding the bird in the sky when trying to maintain VLOS. I made a short video today, which I will upload soon, (rural internet is too slow, city on Wednesday) so those speculating can see what its like on a day like today, where we are, its overcast and thunderstorms are looming. I placed one on top for manned aircraft reference. One red on the front and one white on the back. Here's a still from that flight, it may seem like a speck at 210 feet, but without it, the drone would disappear in the backdrop of the trees. When flying on even brighter days, I still find it really helps extend my visual contact with the drone, I will sometimes place both on the rear of the drone, doubling the flash. At dusk/in the dark, these things are like little lightning bolts! [ATTACH type="full"]13213[/ATTACH] Hope this helps the undecided. its a small investment but well worth it.
