My Tello Flashlight Mount project is designed to enhance the capabilities of the DJI Tello drone for various low-light conditions. Attaching a low-cost tactical LED flashlight lying around in my house to the drone using a 3D-printed holder aims to provide additional illumination for night-time exploration, hobbyist activities, and even low-light photography and videography. The mount is designed to be lightweight, with a total weight of approximately 6-8 grams without the flashlight, ensuring minimal impact on flight time. The adjustable angle feature allows for optimal lighting direction, making identifying objects in dark environments easier. This project is ideal for hobbyists and enthusiasts who require enhanced visibility during drone operations in low-light scenarios.
