Yes, it holds as long you fly fwd and then U turn above spot you want to drop. The paperclip/foam version works good too. At the beginning i tried to put the brace upside but the camera wont have space enough - or - the load is not in center of gravity. The brace is cable clip for $0,60.
Tested yesterday on a meadow nearby dropped within 1,5m accuracy found was slightly better to open the reel than to set the drag to minimum.

Let me finish it and field test it first
Everything works perfect with it the only thing is the bracket that hold on the phantom, the phantom leg is kinda too sloppy where if I tight the bracket with screw it's sliding down still
Gonna try to make more precise bracket where it can hold better

I have too much line on the reel to release the bale.
If I do the line just springs off.
I know I tested it on my small rod for creek fishing. Still the Phantom has enough power to pull if you let the brake to min.Go finally fishing next week. Put two extra layers of PCB transparent paint to the copper wire it would stay better in salty enviroment.
Just finished my latest
Offset it a little to avoid the camera
16" of 1/16" brass rod and a little bit of solder.
The soldered bracing is just to stop it springing up when weight released
Doesn't obstruct the landing gear or camera and gives the gimbal protection in case of a rough landing.
Doesn't register on kitchen scales so I don't know what it weighs

Well done, looks tiny but firm. No obstacles to take off/land. BTW how far you need to "cast"?Just finished my latest

I'm only limited by how much line I have.
The reel holds about 250m so I'm "casting" 200m

I guess you have to solder wires to the board?

No you don't need to
The drop mechanism I'm working on you need to stick a sensor on the front LED light and when you turn the lights on the servo release the mechanism
You can assign the back button to turn on or off the LED lights
No need to open the bird or unscrew any part of the phantom

This is an amazing feed. I already lost one drone using it Fishing bought another one a day later this is going to lead to so many new possibilities. I'll be filming tuna in the next few months can't wait to get some of this footage.
