Tundra Drone auto-moving light for DJI Mavic 3 and Mavic 2 drones can output up to 10,000 lumens and it automatically tilts up or down matching the drone’s camera angle.
It features removable batteries that can power the light at maximum intensity for the full duration of the flight. The Tundra Drone light kits are available now starting at $1,490.
The Mavic 3 is currently DJI’s flagship foldable drone platform. The original DJI Mavic 3 and Mavic 3 Cine drones, announced last year in November, were complemented with Enterprise versions just a few days ago. With longer flight times, better cameras, and smarter features, these drones have proven to be very useful for different purposes.
There are, of course, various third-party accessories for the drones already available as well. One of them is an auto-moving light from the Norway-based company Tundra Drone which promises to be very bright given its size.
The company claims that the light outputs 10,000 lumens. According to Tundra Drone, it is the world’s brightest auto-moving drone light for DJI Mavic 3 drones on the market. The creators say that the light can operate at full brightness for as long as the drone can fly on one battery. Furthermore, the Tundra Drone light can be turned on or off via the DJI remote controller.
There are multiple possible use cases for this. First of all, there are few non-filmmaking uses such as seek-and-rescue missions or aerial inspections in environments with reduced visibility. But for us filmmakers, having such a strong light in the air might help getting certain creative ideas done.
