I installed some led lights for my fossil 210 and 180 this evening. Here's the 210

I finally had the chance to fly sort of at night with my 180 and the led lights in FPV. It was OK but I need to purchase the RunCan night eagle 2 pro FPV camera. My view through my fpv camera was a lot better then my recording camera. It was different. Couple of ground strike but now I have an idea were to set my gates and my motion lights at so I can fly around at night. https://youtu.be/tfMZAi5EXm4

That looked like fun.
Last time I tried to fly at night I lost $500 worth of quad.
It was too dark and I lost sight of where I was, what I thought was home was not.
All the lights looked the same.
Won't do it again without GPS and RTH and some sort of strobe light at home.

a strobe light at Home would be a good idea

Sorry about you losing your $500 quad Stambo. It is easy to do at night. The strobe light is a good idea. If you look in the video at my house around 1:07 and 1:43 shows up well, you'll see I have a fluorescent lighted green tree in the back of the house that I use as a marker. That helps me alot.

Thats a good point to have a marker DOG:)

The marker, lighted fluorescent tree, works very well for me because no one else has this tree in the area . I also have a mini GPS unit on both my quads too...just in case https://www.readytoflyquads.com/micro-u ... s-w-18x18x works well. It has everything I need plus it's light weight.
