New product to verify VLOS operations

[Tenisyn]

Tested this morning using VOs in a controlled environment. Independently verified by all 3 observers at a range of 2,000 feet (at 400 AGL), verified by 2 at 2,500 feet.

Available now at your local fine retailer of choice!

I don't understand.

I think s/he added the little silver stickers, which probably reflected the sun, making the drone visible from farther away.

Dang I’m going to try it. Looking in the garage for silver tape.

Just shiny Mylar tape right?
What if it’s cloudy?

Be sure you use A/C aluminum tape. It will reflect better and brighter. [emoji295]️[emoji295]️

That is it. Not sure [emoji848] what it will do to plastic but pulls galvanizing off a/c boxes. Once applied best left alone. Get a couple of rolls the stuff makes a great [emoji106] hat as well

If you leave the battery out, you're pretty certain to remain in VLOS.

What if you walk away? Eventually you will be BVLOS.

Walk backwards...

Maybe I'll be letting my lack of intelligence show but......... could the Aluminum tape reflect part of the signal from the controller away from the craft ?????
(Please stop laughing if that's a really stupid question!)

Not a stupid question, but it won't reflect. The antennas of the Phantom are located in the legs.
