I have been wanting to drop small skydivers from my Mini3 Pro drone. I first added a XIAO ESP32C3 board with a RC servo and used the vertical position of the camera to trigger the servo and drop the object. It worked well but found I had to have the object well below the drone because the IR landing sensor's caused it to be eractic and climb. By adding another pushrod to the servo I added a small piece of cardstock to block the leds until I made the drop. This worked well unless you didn't make the drop then it got confused on landing so I just grab it and shut it down.

Another problem was I could not change the position of the camera when in the filming mode. I got around that by recording on the TX but I didn't like not being able to use the Mini3 video.

Since this will all be done withing a 100 meters I just took another XIAO board and made a transmitter to send a drop message with Espnow protocol. This works great so I removed the little hall effect sens
