Dual Strobon bracket for DJI Mini 2

thingiverse

I already tried a single (White) standalone Strobon Cree LED mounted directly under my DJI Mini 2 but really wanted one forward and one Red rear facing to differentiate the front and rear at a distance... For reference this is the model of strobe I am using - No affiliation at all: https://store.flytron.com/products/strobon-cree-standalone?_pos=3&_sid=441fcc581&_ss=r After toying with ideas I decided on a pyramid shaped adapter.. 45 degree angle but opposing directions. This simple idea is compact and lightweight. There was already two strips of 3M Dual Lock fixings on the body of the Mini 2 and the Strobon never budged once with just that holding it on.. There is very little potential for great inertia in the Strobons so not surprised. The pyramid design has slots in the base to coincide with the vents of the Mini/Mini 2. It it 100 fill PLA and after testing with a variety of thickness profiles of the design settle of 1.8mm base and sides. I tried to crush this (point down to base) with my thumb and full weight and could not. I settled on 3M Dual Lock to hold the Strobons to the 45 degree faces as well. You can remove the adapter from the Mini, start the strobes off and then just press the device to the Mini/Mini 2 underbelly; much easier that way than doing it on the drone.. LOL In use: As the strobe are facing away from each other you do actually get separation. When turning it (Yaw) one or the other colours does disappear to help orientation. I can see the drone in daylight much better than the drone itself. If I lost sight of it previously at the same distance i would have a harder time re-sighting it. It is much better now. Weight concerns: all this extra stuff mounts up My Mini 2 with battery , Micro SD card and camera cover removed is exactly 239g With a White and Red Strobon Cree, 3M Dual Lock fixings and the printed adapter, come in at 248g
