For the fishermen and payload enthusiasts

I know people get bent out of shape when you call a phantom a drone but it sounded better than Bait Quad.

Very cool. But did you catch anything??

 

[Dirty Bird]

I was wondering the same thing?

 

[Buckster]

Fishing for sharks that day. Caught no sharks. Just other smaller fish. Test was a success though.

Awesome video!
Like others I think I wanted to see someone hauling in a fish at the end

If you only knew how much that made their year( maybe life). Search on eBay for: 36" military flare parachute. About ten bucks.

Thanks for the suggestion... I was thinking I would make a few... but for 10 bucks? .. no brainer right there... actually found some cheaper as well... and I found some polished aluminum rod ... should make the payload slide off easily... great little invention sir :ugeek:

Those chute are solid. I've used then for all kinds of things. Very well made. I have a ton of them. Notice on my wire thingy that I offset the prong to the side of the camera. When the load drops the wire springs upwards. If it weren't offset it would likely hit the camera/ gimbal. It has plenty of clearance as is now.

I'm thinking about dropping a camera.

Well you need to take Mickey up to 4000' and drop him, then follow him down.

Kinda the same thing I was thinking... but it would be more like 800ft.... and it's gonna be Optimus Prime and Godzilla :twisted:

 

[Buckster]

Post that video DBS! Well, as soon as your chute arrives.

Awesome Buckster, now I'm thinking what else could we drop...
