Many "Out the Gate" ask... Why? Why would you wrap a Drone, waste the time & money?.
I'm in complete agreement with the common "objective" comment: It doesn't improve long distance Visual view or spotting... no matter the color or intensity, they ALL turn grey at distance. Although, I have seen a big improvement when flying in front of Trees or Ag Crops... the Neon Orange Improves visual spotting with dark foliage background.
Personally, My main motivation is simple... I like the color splash vs the DJI Grey colors. I like Neon Orange (Green, etc) and I like the "Look & Fit" of WrapGrade Wraps!
On my own self-justification side... It helps maintain the finish.... it's easy to peel off & replace, or remove.
On a "newer" reason... I believe I've read within new regs to fly above people, one new requirement is making the drone more visually noticeable to people.
Many have probably seen my Skin Wraps for other platforms: M2P, M2ED, M2AS, Mini's, Phantom and my Paint work on Inspire 1's.
I've been fond of the WrapGrade wraps... extremely detailed cuts, ultra thin & pliable material.
I've chatted with the WrapGrade Folks a few times encouraging them to make a design for the Inspire 2.
They recently completed the Inspire 2 Kit(s)... the Inspire 2 is offered in 5 Kits: Main Body, Struts (Legs), Boom Arms, Batteries, & RC.
My "Norm" is Neon Orange, so we went with same color for Inspire 2. I purchased the Main, Struts, and Arms. I did purchase 1 Battery Pak just to see... way to many batteries to warp.
Plus, the cool thing with the Inspire 2 Wrap, it's not 100% like most wraps... it leaves several areas unwrapped. This adds to the Contrast and over all look of Craft. I personally like the Orange & Black contrasting appearance. I was debating to stop at the Main or the Main & Struts... then applied the Arms and still liked the contrast look.
Below are photos... and added the WrapGrade Guides if interested.
1st showing the Main Wrap by itself, then added the Struts, and later the Arms. Plus threw in a WWII Mouth & Eyes for the humor!
When working WrapGrade on a custom DJI FPV Neon Camo, I asked them to make up a WWII Mouth & Eyes. They created a great Neon Camo & WWII Nose.
Enjoy the Photos, if it's not your cup of tea... feel free to express, it's all for Fun & Personal Taste.
