dropper for Mavic Air 2 drone

I was skeptical at first. I was deciding between this and the Gannet Sport X. This is $36 and the Gannet is $179. My concern was the weight of the product, in the specs it states it is about 90 grams, I weighed it at home and it comes in at 65 grams. The rest of the weight is the Legs that comes with the product. I don't even use the legs with my Air 2S, it takes off and lands just fine without the legs. The Gannet is rated at 60 grams, but it's also $179. I tried this out and the build quality is good enough. I know it can only be made with some form of plastic due to keeping the weight down. The drone flies great with this drop system by itself. I put an egg on a string and flew it about a mile to egg a car at night, It worked great. The battery indicator did take a hit with payload, but that is to be expected. I like this product because it is one piece, no need to attach an additional light sensor to the bottom of the drone with velcro or rubber bands. The locking mechanism works very well. It is very secure. I know the earlier models had problems with depressing the battery release buttons, but this version has indentations that forms around those release buttons. So no errors at all. This should work well with dropping fishing lures out to sea far from your casting range. As long as you keep the payload weight to what your drone can support consistently then you should not have a problem.

Works great on my Air 2S. Use care when mounting and function check before flight. Battery charge doesn't last very long, so charge within 12 hours before use. Two pounds is about max payload for my Air 2S, and only for short duration. Get a bigger drone if you have a regular need for external load capability.

Purchased to hang holiday lights in high-up trees, and 2 years after purchasing I finally tried it out. - Easy to install - Bonus: The extended legs are super-handy even when not using this drop mechanism.. makes launching on grass much safer/simpler - It only came with two tiny slip rings to attach your payload. For my use, I took an old wire hanger and made hooks on each end (more like a closed eyelet on the drone-side). Hooked it onto my lights and flew it up beyond my tree top -- after lowering the solar unit I began circling the tree descending closer as I went around.. once pretty close to the tree I released it as directed (light toggle via DJI remote) and it instantly dropped the hanger and all went well! OK.. so I had to repeat this 2 more times since the lights kept partially falling in different ways in strong winds, but we eventually got it! This unit worked perfectly. The Air2s had no issues with the payload (https://a.co/d/exGneQm) which was a 144' strand of 400 LED lights with solar panel, weighing 14.4 oz (according to Amazon info)

There is a slight delay from triggering to action but that is more due to signaling the light in the belly of the Air 2S than the device. Set up is very easy as long as you follow the instructions. Depending on the load to be dropped there is some effect on flight time and stability but once dropped the aircraft responds as expected/normally. Battery (drone) life is going to be affected simply due to the added load/s, unless you are doing a lot of drops in succession it is highly unlikely the device' battery will fail. There are host of vastly more expensive devices out there that, as far as I can tell are no more efficient at dropping things from drones. Remember there are rules about dropping things from drones, or any aircraft for that matter, including local ordinances so be sure to stay within those rules.

I bought the release to use for drone fishing which is carrying bait to a far distance and dropping it (much farther than you're able to cast). Although I haven't used it yet I did a test in the yard and it worked exactly as I wanted. My Air 2S carried a 2 oz egg sinker (tied to a loop on some braided line off of a free spooling spinning reel). It carried this egg sinker about 200 yards in maybe 10 seconds... one click on the fn button and the line was dropped and I brought the drone back. This is going to a be a game changer for our salt water fishing trip next week while trying to catch Tuna that are schooling. The biggest trick is going to be bring the drone back to the boat as the "home" function doesn't work too great for a drifting boat. All manual flying.

This system has been especially helpful for my purpose. It's so easy to use with the Air2s. The seller has been very responsive and helpful after I had a crash and all the legs broke and I needed replacements. Five well deserved stars.

I like this work mechanism. It works well.

Front leg extension was lost in first flight. Makes this part of the package worthless. Release part works great

Great drop system for Mavic Air 2 . Easy to install . Has slots for battery clips so no problem with pushing on them causing battery errors as I have seen in other reviews . Recommend this product it works great 👍🏻

This is exactly what they are advertising and works great !
