With the way your headed your probably going to be the best DJI channel out there

[NatendoSwitch]

Hey man, thanks for making these videos! It's great to know how far we can push our drones. :) - Cheers from Costa Rica. You're doing a great job.

Longer string gives more momentum to the suspended load which causes more instability than a shorter string.
Hanging the mechanism off the back of the legs puts the CG far aft and causes the rear motors to work far harder than the front which then becomes the limiting factor for lift capability. Centered under the drone will give more even distribution of the load to the motors and propellers thus maximizing lift capability.

Man this drop system would be great for drone surf-fishing

[mrchams]

It could be great for fishing, drop the line and bait further than you can cast via the rod.

Added weight, lower flight time, more wear and tear on the motors, CG off. This machine was not designed to carry any other payload except for its onboard camera.

Dope video!! Always wondered about this, anything for the mavic?? Keep up the good work!!

[scott-n-annasrcfun]

first thing i thought of was sneaky waterballoon pranks but then i realized its probably illegal to drop on actual person but maybe a test to see it work.this is a great video Billy!!!people are really interested in mods and features so keep it up we look forward to your vids!!

[Deverydoo]

Yes! This. I've been totally wanting to use my drone to deliver beer to my dad a few streets over ! Very awesome video awareness.

[leaver]

Great for dropping Molotov cocktails 🔥🍾

[salvadortinoco]

Congratulations excellent video! One question, what was the height above sea level in that place where you flew?

[DonGratz]

You should try lifting the objects with Sport Mode on and see how much better it does.

[franciscoroman]

Awsome video as usual, by the way, where is that beutiful country site?

[vancelandry]

Cool vid! Question: are there larger propellers that could be put on the drone to make lifting easier? Just curious if you knew of any aftermarket for that.

[stephenelliott]

How about aerial seeding remote sites for reforestation? More useful than dropping beer or water?

Billy you're awesome but you're killing me. Your concern was how loose the bracket is. I actually know something you don't. That's a compliment though. What I did was I took a heat gun, not a hair dryer because it's not hot enough. I took a pair of pliers and gently put them on the four hook ons of the bracket. Being careful I heated the clips until they started to get soft. The pliers keep my hands from getting burned. Gently I rounded the clips to make them tighter. It worked perfectly the bracket is plenty tight enough it does not move around even when a weight is added to the drop mechanism. You should try this then add it to your video because it completely solves the problem and you don't have to be hassled with zip ties once again you're awesome

Cool find for the phantom, I figured it was gunna be pricey but $250 kinda surprised even me. I agree with some of your other fans who left comments, I can see a whole lot of fun stuff being hauled up a dropped from this system. As a retired firefighter/paramedic I can see several uses for this system, even if it was to just drop off water to a patient or person during a rescue, wilderness, mountain. lots of great or mischief reasons to have something cool like this. Good review and video Billy, quit college dude and do this full time, your really doing a good job.
