[TowerTalk] Drones

[Danny K5CG]

I have a Mavic Pro and I made a forward facing hook that slides sideways into the bottom rear feet. Fly forward until you get where you want to drop whatever (I use a small caribiner) then turn the drone around and back up. The payload falls off and voila! Cost was a sacrificed clothes hanger.

I use this for my Mavic Air 2:

However, as best I can tell the Phantom 3 doesn't have the same LED 
landing light, and I can't find where Hanatora offers a similar payload 
release mechanism for a Phantom 3.  I believe that Sky Hook does, but it 
is probably the type that uses a separate radio link and they cost 
closer to $200.
