I will be posting my mods to my MA2 as I make them. I really wanted only one thread in the forum to put my mods on instead of each one being a separate thread. It will be easier the edit and post in one thread.

Starting out with a floating mod that is still in the works.

Just added 2 Firehouse ArcV 1000 lumens to the drone.  Placed them on the back prop legs so they won’t mess with the forward sensors and camera. Most of the reviews have said to get better double sided tape than the ones provided with the lights. It will come off and money gone. I made my own mounts with back up rubber bands.
Maiden night flight with lights was incredible. The ability to see the drone at long distances, 2000 ft away on this test, was awesome. Much better than the on board lights. There are 4 modes, strobe ,flash, steady,mixed.

Thanks dude!  If anyone would like to know how I thought out any of these mods. I can make  videos for each. Today I flew this at night and could see the lights over 2000 ft away. These put out 1000 lumes . And there is a YouTube video I found that test 5 light. This light could be seen 3 miles away. Out of 5 they judged this one the best for instant recognition. The video shows each one in test fights. I chose this one for me night flying needs.

My next mod is a different set of landing gear. Wider stance and higher clearance than the first one. Almost finished, taking some holiday time with the family. See ya on the other side of it.

Phone cover and holder/clamp mod to fit Iphone 13promax. I had to file away some of the arm brace to get the cord attached without it causing pressure when in the brace. Then cut a hole in the back of the cover to place the phone bracket through, then attached the ball joint and wing nut . A little Velcro on the side panels since the magnets don't hold well. And this is the end results. Works for me when the original did not. See ya on the other side of my next mod.

New landing gear mod. I took two types and made it into one. The wide legged gear only stays on with an elastic band, not trusting that! The other is a clip on from front to back and stays on much sturdier.
