STROBON C-1 Cree® Standalone Drone Strobe with USB Type-C Charging
This product is compatible with the latest FAA and CAA anti-collision light regulations for drones. It is visible from at least 3 miles at night.
The Strobon™ C-1 is our first USB-C rechargeable navigation strobe, designed for enclosed drones including:
- DJI (Mini 2, Mini, Spark, Mavic Air, Mavic Mini, Phantom, Inspire)
- Parrot
- senseFly
- Xiaomi
- Walkera and others
Specifically designed with DJI Mini and Mini 2 in mind, the Strobon™ C-1 uses a USB-C charging port and includes 15mm 3M Dual Lock fasteners that fit neatly under the rear motor mounts.
Weighing less than 4 grams, two units can be mounted on DJI Mini series drones without compromising flight balance or exceeding the 250g regulatory weight limit.
Fits between DJI Mini 2 body and rear motor mount when folded.
