What do you think… too much reflective tape?

Is the reflective tape too much? Or does it look okay? I don’t want it to look bad, but I do want to keep the birds away.

I’ve got similar anti-bird protection on mine. Totally worth it.

Really? I had no idea that was a thing. I might need to try it myself.

How about adding red and blue lights on top? Maybe a ‘to protect and serve’ sticker on the sides? Haha.

Haha, if I flew this in the city, people might think the police are watching!

Yeah, it really does look like a police drone. Cool look though!

Is this from the first responder cringe group leaking?

I’ve always wanted a speaker so I could yell at people from my drone.

Honestly, I’d go with anti-collision lights instead of tape. The blinking lights would help both birds and other aircraft see your drone better.

I’m just using the tape to keep birds away. Adding lights would make it too heavy, over 250g.

Yeah, this is mainly to scare off birds, not for other aircraft.

I need this! My drone videos always have a part where a bird chases it. My son’s even on bird watch duty now. Where did you get the tape?

I found it on Amazon. The hexagon-patterned ones seem to reflect the most.

@Drew
Thanks, I’m definitely getting some!

Thank you!

Does it even matter what it looks like? Aren’t you using the camera anyway?

I still want it to look cool and not like some weird supervillain drone. Plus, it keeps the birds away.

@Drew
Why not add flames or one of those fighter plane shark mouths?
