Best Payload Dropper?

[ryandaley]

I’m thinking of buying a payload/ air dropper for my mavic 2 pro, just for a bit of fun more than anything. Can anyone recommend one or alternatively advise me that it’s a bad idea!

i watched a video review of one and he had to use blue-tac to stick the receptor over the landing light, which I definitely don’t want to do!

i know people use them for dropping fishing line or bait ,but actually it is something that could get you in bother with the law makers as its not really allowed i wouldn't bother
plus you run the risk of the line getting tangled in the props ( end of drone )

If you want pushbutton dropper control for as far as the drone will fly, all droppers must attach to a drone light that can be turned on/off from your remote. They include a rechargeable battery but need a light source, headlights thru fiberoptics, to the solenoid,...on/off, closed/open.. Not WiFi or radio activated.

M2Pro has a fairly large payload capacity. Little less than Phantom

Gannet release is probably the best known, not sure if best, but it's used a lot for fishing rigs.

My recommendation too. Use Gannet Sport, XSport, waiting for my Gannet Pro waterproof drone. ??

Here's a very simple way to take your mate or a friend's fishing line to a likely fishing patch, inaccessible by normal casting!

The attached pictures tell the story, so wont bore you with too many details!

Just bend up some 1.6mm stainless brazing rod - (from local welding supplies shop)- to the shape and dimensions to suit your drone similar to the one shown.

Cover with heat shrink if desired. Attach to drone - Make sure to remove after use, before attempting to fold arms....(Repeat)

I have actually tried this and it does really work OK. Just make sure "sufficient" line flows easily from rod or reel. Use commonsense.

When drone is over the fishing spot. rotate drone 180 degrees (camera points back to you) fishing line loop drops off (or motor away from line) Rinse, repeat until time to change battery!!

Enjoy and welcome to any feedback!
