Does anyone have any drone skin recommendations that would clearly improve VLOS?

My biggest fear is getting hit with a fine when I can't see the drone by eyesight alone even though i know it's exact position and co-ordinates.

TIA,

Ronin

Green, orange, and red against the sky are the easiest to see for me and that is backed up by two eye doctors I queried on this issue.

Thank you.

I do believe Neon green is the easiest to see as per my research.

I just want to make sure i can fly some good missions while maintaining vlos.

Allot of game wardens / etc around here and a $5K fine would leave me homeless at this point in time lol.

Personally I think if you are in a remote area at a certain altitude VLOS should not be required, as long as telemetry readings are accurate.

You're welcome.  I have used all 3 colors and you are right about neon green being the easiest on my old eyes to see.

Thanks.

The link to the international store gives a 404 web error.

Shipping from .JP might be a little cost prohibitive.

No worries.

Unfortunately as it has been for months it seems next to impossible to get a NEON green skin.

They seem to offer every other color but that one, and just full wraps no accent wraps.

I do thank you for your input and help.

you're welcome and you are correct.  i wanted it badly enough so i wrote to them earlier this year thru their amazon portal:


A seller answered your question,
"where is neon green, don't see it listed?"
Wrapgrade Japan answered:
"Hello, sorry Neon Green is currently out of stock on amazon.com. We will send the inventory to amazon fulfillment center next week. It will be available about in 2-4 weeks. Thank you."
