Where is the best placement for a strobe on top without interfering with the gps module.

There are a couple of tear downs on here, that should give you an idea

Youtube but they have been posted in this section, you may have to go back a couple of pages now though

It depends on your local rules.
I have heard some rumors, that beginning of July in Germany there has to be a green strobe on the bottom side of a drone during night flights.
But couldn't  find a proof yet

It’s not for rules or regulation. It’s for courtesy and safely so that other aircraft flying above you can see you.

Here, in EU,  it's a requirement per
UAS.OPEN.060 Responsibilities of the remote pilot
(2) During the flight, the remote pilot shall:
(g) when operating at night, ensure that a green flashing light on the unmanned aircraft is activated.

so it is actually a rule. The "complicated" part is that the (g) was added in COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2020/639 and not the COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2019/947, and many popular search engines tend to point to the original document, and not the consolidated version, which we should be looking at.
Now, about that, there is also the:
COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2022/425 from 14th of March 2022, which states:
(3)in Article 23, paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 are replaced by the following:
3.   Points UAS.OPEN.060(2)(g) UAS.SPEC.050(1)(l)(i) of the Annex shall apply from 1 July 2022 and point UAS.SPEC.050(1)(l)(ii) of the Annex shall apply from 1 January 2024.

Consolidated text of the COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2019/947 (meaning up-to-date with all changes):
https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal- ... 454&from=EN#tocId34
Consolidated text of the COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2019/945
https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal- ... 55052244276&from=EN
(mentions that a green flashing light needs to be a part of the C1 drones and above)

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2022/425 (the one which mentions first of July)
https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal- ... :32022R0425&from=EN
COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2020/639 (adds requirement to run the green flashing light at night)
https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal- ... :32020R0639&from=EN
COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2019/947 (original regulation)
https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal- ... :32019R0947&from=EN

So it's not only a German regulation, but a whole EU regulation. Additionally, since the green flashing lights reportedly turn off while recording, it's seems to be difficult to record with Mini 3 Pro at night in the long run (right now, exceptions to the maximum take-off mass could be used to attach external green light to it).
At the same time, C0 drones do not have a flashing green light listed under requirements. I'm not sure how that's to be interpreted, but my understanding is that if they don't have a green light, they can't be used at night.
Additionally, there's an explanation on why there needs to be a green light:
"with at least one green flashing light for the purpose of conspicuity of  the UA at night to allow a person on the ground to distinguish the UA  from a manned aircraft;"

Maybe Germany is different.  But the last rule for this I saw for EU was for drones over 250g

Till the end of 2020 flights at night were not allowed.
Since 2021 flying at night allowed without any requirements for strobe lights.
Now mid 2022 it changes again with the reqirement for a green strobe light.
This is independent from the weight as far as i saw.

I guess we are lucky to have left the EASA rules behind and now just have a copy for 2021 implemented.
