It's actually been discussed here before. The reason is so that the lights don't interfere with the video.
Not sure the status lights would even be legal anyway. They probably couldn't be seen at any real distance.
Go buy a couple of 3 mile certified drone strobes like the Firehouse strobes or similar, stick them on with some velcro, and boom, problem solved.
I'm sorry you're answering a conversation about a topic you know so little about.
"The reason is so that the lights don't interfere with the video"
1. About the lights generating unwanted results in the video, anyone who has had a drone like the spark, which has 4 LEDs that are much stronger than the mini's, will tell you that this is not true. But in any case, let the user decide if the result is useful to them. DJI does not have to decide a priori for us.
"Not sure the status lights would even be legal anyway"
2. About whether the mini's lights are sufficient to be legal, of course they are. If before answering you read the regulations you are commenting on, you would see that it requires 2 lights, just like that, it does not talk about power, because the flight must be done in visual line... even if the drone is 10 meters away, you need a light at night.
Go buy a couple of 3 mile certified drone strobes like the Firehouse strobes or similar,
3. Again, if you read the regulations you are commenting on, you would know that it is prohibited to add unauthorized devices to the drone... also, the mini weighs 248 or 247 grams and any powerful light would exceed the 250 grams of the regulations.
I hope the information is useful to you |
