Drone Footage - C8+ SST40 & MF01S (Mounted)

Yes, I plan to try a few things for my reviews, one being a search and rescue demo with a mounted light. I’ll also have my wife in the bush with the flashlight on SOS or Beacon. May as well use this farm the best I can so I can really make my reviews unique.

I was keeping my eyes very fixed on the screen, having no down facing lighting I was a bit nervous of hitting a tree. The MF01S should help a lot

The beacon visibility would be neat, too, good idea.

Come to think of it, y’know if you dress up the drone just a little and give your wife the right flashlight……

Ahh, that explains it, I didn’t think about that, something I’ll need to consider myself but mostly I’ll be flying mine in almost no wind conditions in abandoned mines like in my photo below. I’m a beginner with drones but from what I can tell I can control the LEDs on the bottom side of Mavic 2 Pro by the remote. I plan to use either the signal to those LEDS to turn on the external light, or add a light sensor control to the external light so I don’t have to “operate” on the drone itself.

Hi Funtastic

Great stuff, your ingenuity is appreciated.

You know we are going to expect a drone in all your future reviews from now on don’t you !!

Absolutely, it’ll make it something alright. I need to also film the drone scanning the area with the light. I may have to reduce the use of flashlight comparisons to other models and do more of this. I kind of stole that off the Flashaholic channel anyway, that’s his thing. If I could concentrate more on drone footage around the farm and beamshots, I think I’d enjoy it more.

added video of the MF01S!

Very cool video!
Great work especially the MF01S

Go find a nudist colony.

Oh man, I got the sticks mixed up tonight, instead of bringing it back at 19% battery, it was going straight up lol. My hands were shaking so badly thinking I had lost control and it was malfunctioning. It was such a :person_facepalming: moment when I realized

Impressive picture :open_mouth:

You found Khazad-dûm.

Convoy L21B CSLNM1

That is an absolutely amazing shot!!! I could stare at that for hours.
Spectacular backdrop. You’re a lucky dude.

That is super cool. It’s like the reverse of all typical sky beam shots. Good pic!

Thanks. I was pretty shocked when I got down there, the entrance on ground level didn’t suggest it was anything like this, just a few holes in the ground.

Guys, should I or shouldn’t I, add drone footage in a review? Posted a new photo on the Sofirn group and got hammered from two guys saying it’s completely useless to add drone footage since it’s a handheld flashlight. Kind of put me off :frowning:

Should I just add separate videos?

Surely people wouldn’t mind seeing a short clip at the end for some fun.

I think it’s pretty neat if you don’t mind the time spent doing it. Those guys can hammer if they like….sounds like they lean heavily toward the pragmatic/practical side of life, which is fine for them.

Go for it I say.
I think I’ve seen those same guys complaining about IPX testing of lights that aren’t dive lights and suggesting headlamps should only be operated by violent thrashing of a head.

I wonder how long it will take the Aliexpress vendors to steal that image and add it to their pool of fake flashlight beam shots.
