I've mounted a "Strobon" cree to the right rear leg of my Phantom 3 pro.
Will this cause flight interference or have others done the same?
Thanks

should be OK mine set up like this at moment ,using lipo battery 3.6 volt very bright no interference anywhere even with me wireing strobes just on with velcro.
If you have the Standalones, I've mounted one on the side of the VPS unit, under the battery.

Hi Ianzone,
Completly off topic, but what is that brace used for, that you appear to've glued across the rear legs?
HI Um I did have a homemade strobe there but took off ,left brace there also helps legs not flex so bad,from new they felt loose but wernt, just lightweight plastic glued in place,I did have on bottom but always got picked up by vps on landing ,sometimes not wanting to touch down

Good day that is a whole lot of unnecessary wiring for a little strobe...View attachment 83138 View attachment 83139 should be OK mine set up like this at moment ,using lipo battery 3.6 volt very bright no interference anywhere even with me wireing strobes just on with velcro.

The strobe I recommend are these:
Firehouse Technology ARC II
Firehouse Technology Dual Cree
These are the brightest, way brighter than the Flytrons
Here is an image to show you size comparison too:
I have them both. The cree strobon are by far better. They are much more compact, brighter and built better. The firehouse ones are not as bright. Even the four cree led ones, in my test, I can see the single cree strobon at a much further distance. I have had to return two of the firehouse ones because of failure. The claimed "up to six hour" run time on the firehouse ones are actually 3 hours in flash mode. The strobon will last beyond six hours with a much smaller battery and package. I have used strobon for years and haven't had an issue yet.
I used a red one in the rear, and a white one in front.
Do you sell the strobons too, please.I have a lot of customers mounting them to the legs using these mounts with no problems. I use them on my Inspire 1 Pro and Mavic Pro too without any issues.

Maybe you got some bad one? I did tests with a variable ND filter. The LED's themselves have identical brightness (except the Flytron Standalone, it isn't a Cree LED). When you add in the multiple Cree LED's the Firehouse ones have my distance tests faired way better on the Firehouse than the Strobons. A distance test I did with the FH ARC II was a mile away, I was easily able to maintain VLOS and could have gone much further.

I do not sell the strobes themselves. If you are interested in the Firehouse Strobes I would get them on Amazon here:
Firehouse Technology ARC II
Firehouse Technology Dual Cree
or if you want the Strobon Cree strobes I would recommend getting them from Phantomhelp.com

Here is a link to the ARC II distance test toward the end I stopped at 1 mile:

When I get some time I'll do a video and I'll run each of them out to a mile so you can see what I'm talking about. I've tried them all and my recommendation of the Firehouse ARC II and Dual Cree still stands. Any of them in my chart above will get you 3 miles of visibility fulfilling your FAA requirements.
