If the quad is a ways off, a light/ strobe makes it easier to determine orientation. FWIW, if solid on is OK, you can get a 9 segment LED "bulb" that is readily available for car dome light applications. It's meant for 12VDC, but works well at lower voltages as well.
Hi Robin just ordered mine great review. Do you find that this helps you spot the drone in daylight ? If so which colour have you found best? Keep up the the great videos.
Sold Potensic Atom Drone With Vi-Fly Strobe. I Would Like To Find From You Please Before Buying FIMI Mini 3 Drone With The Vi-Fly Strobe Platinum That Total Weight Of This Drone Is It Still Under 250 Grams As You Have Now Both Items. Thanks.
I must admit that I haven't weighed the FIMI yet. I will, but I'm currently on holiday at the moment, so I will weigh it when I get home. I'm guessing, though, going by the specs of the Fimi 245g, the strobe weighs 6g, so it might weigh 251g Personally, if it were to weigh 251g, I wouldn't worry about 1 gram. Rules are rules, but honestly, are the police going to ask you to bring your drone down and weigh it?
Great video mate, love the intro 👍 I didn’t know they had brought out the platinum one, gonna have to order one now! The original is amazing still always use it ! Awesome video mate, haha I blind myself in mine all the time ! 😂
Maybe it's brighter as one thing I noticed is the clear wrap that surrounds the leds is almost totally clear and on the previous version it was more "frosted," but I have no way to test the brightness unfortunately.
Really you should put a Warning on the Screen .... "Contains Flashing / Strobing Lights" For anyone who has Epilepsy or Suffers with Migraines , and to be honest NOT Point it direct to the Camera

Sorry for the late reply! That useful to know about the light 👍
Love the new intro Robin. Nicely done.
Thanks, my wife's God father made it so Ken if you're reading this reply. Thanks for the intro 😁
Got 2 of the original strobing units they are brilliant thanks to you.
They are, aren't they, they are so bright and the battery last for ages!
Thanks for sharing this detailed explanation of the strobe🤩
My pleasure 😊 glad it was helpful 👍

Yes, it definitely helps in the daytime. I find green is the best for daytime, especially if you have lots of white clouds. Red seems good at night 👍

No, They Would Not Worry But Need It To See It In Lower Light Conditions For VLOS Distances. Could Be 251 Grams.
Good info Robin!👍
Thanks! 👍
The link in your description no longer works, where else can i get these? Amazon dont seem to sell the platinum
Oh yeh it's like their website has disappeared! Very strange, no I can't find anywhere else that sells the new platinum strobe 🤔
So the link works again now 😊
Great video mate, love the intro 👍 I didn’t know they had brought out the platinum one, gonna have to order one now! The original is amazing still always use it ! Awesome video mate, haha I blind myself in mine all the time ! 😂
Ha ha, yes, the amount of time it's blinded me! Very good strobes they are! 👍
Haha I’m not surprised mate they are so bright? Where did you get the platinum one, I can only find them on the vifly site payment in $ ?
GREAT VIDEO
Glad you enjoyed it 👍
I have no idea which setting is the best for the FAA, green flash or white flash, or just bright enough any color?
Probably if flying at night white is the best as it seems the brightest.
Daytime white isn't good at all, especially if flying in white cloud
@@RobinDrones i would think Red would be a more alarming color for anyone who needs to see it
Is it any brighter than the other one or is the only difference the blue light?

Won't let us use a UK bank card
Oh really...
