Fishing with a Mavic

[rydfree]

Oh my !!

Thank you so much for this information!!

(I MUST have this to play with and try!). I will post my results/impressions - and hopefully can use this on my August 2017 7-day Fishing Trip!

Again - thank you for this information - I bow deeply to you.[emoji3]

...and...Here it is! I am ordering one today!

No problem . I actually stated that it ties in to the front LED light to activate but to clear that up for anyone else interested , I think it is a photocell switch that simply snaps over the front LED so no wiring involved . After you try yours out be sure to come back and give a review . If it is worth the $$ I may pick one up .

There is already someone selling a powered quick release for the Mavic Pro . I'd have to search and find it again but it clamps around the battery area and ties in to one of the front LED lights to activate from the controller .


EDIT : Here it is .

With a Gannet the landing sensors are not affected as with GG

That is the Gimbal guard quality not the Gannet from dronefishing.com
Gannets work in any light and are a professional product.

Get a Gannet day and night difference in quality.
It works garanteed, does not have rubber bands to strap the wires like the Gimbal Guard one.
Works withhout interfering with downward sensors so you dont need to disable them.
Its just a better product.

I use this downrigger release and connect it to one of the rear legs. Fly the line about 500 offshore, set the bail on the reel with no drag and it then drops.

Uni-Line Release

I just ordered a servo, tiny relay, and a photo resistor to make my own release mechanism.

I'm not really that educated about these electronic devices but I think I can pull it off. The thing I'm most unsure about is if the photo resistor I purchased will be compatible with the light output of mavics red led.

Security check required for drone fishing?








By the way, I don't use facebook, but was wondering why some fb pages require "security check"? (these I never go through, as it's pure ridiculousness to prove you're not a robot... to ffs READ a page!)

 

[Gannet]

Crazy that it needs a check.
And if I try to upload the clip direct it gives and error
