I've seen mention of not flying in inclement weather (i.e. heavy wind, rain, etc.), but what about flying at night? I'm sure there would be some great views of lights (thinking Christmas time).

Night flying is fine , law says you need to have VLOS so how far can you see in the dark, you can buy extra lights, these are very good and neat.

Lume Cubes beat those all to Heck!!


You can order a filter kit which includes red and blue coloured filters now too.  ;-)
Set on one of the seven strobe modes, that would look awesome.

Put it in "sport" mode, get up a couple of hundred feet and haul @ss. The lights look good at night. Watching 'em zip around at 50-70mph. It probably improves VLOS.

I hope so, those things are kind of expensive.

Anyone using these that can give feedback?  https://www.amazon.com/PolarPro-Phantom-Light-Headlights-Taillights/dp/B01DTKT3KA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1487793688&sr=8-1&keywords=phantom+4+lights

Having white front and red rear looks like a good idea to me.

I have polar pro add-ons for my gopro and they are good quality, I am sure these are decent, but don't look to be as bright as the cubes

I suggest VERY far night flights. Like 4 miles out. Spy on people! Go stealth, which means covering up your lights with black electrical tape. And if you are in 1080 video, you can zoom 2x in on people.

I am assuming this was a joke?

Or just a forum troll, look at her name.

Not a troll at all. Here's an example:

It's one of the most boring videos I've ever seen, and it gives all SUA pilots a very bad name..
