Phantom 4 payload system

I originally made this to drop eggs on people but i guess you can fly anything less than 1 pound up to 500 feet and watch it freefall and obliterate.

Works with DJI (Phantom 4) (Phantom 4 pro/advanced)

might with DJI (Phantom 3) (Phantom 3 advanced)

the system uses a photoresistor under the front light which can be turned off from the controller. I use an arduino Nano to measure the light. Once turned on the resistance level exceeds 700 and it releases a servo dropping your payload.

One problem is you have to watch out to make sure the electronics are a good distance away from the drones magnetic compass or it will ask you to recalibrate it every time.

The frame is actually not my design. I downloaded it from thingiverse and modified it. I wanted to credit the original creator but I think the original got deleted because i can't find it.


The claws are just glued together with a piece of lego, they are connected to the mount with rc airplane control rods or some
