Bad situation all around. If it hadn't been for the recent 60 Minutes episode showing modified DJI drones dropping mini bombs, I wouldn't be aware of it either. On the bright side, the good guys are using DJI P4 drones to locate terrorist snipers, while disabling RTH to prevent giving way their own location! These tools can be used for both good and evil. Looking forward to your evolving project.
Why the heck are you jacking around with the extra weight and complexity of servo, battery, etc?
1 Set your camera looking straight down.
2 Tie a string on the camera
3 Hook other end of string to a sliding paper clip rod in a small paper clip loop holder.
4 When you are at altitude, raise the camera up to horizontal position..... string will pull rod out of sliders, releasing payload. Voila!
(why do you want to drop stuff anyway?)

You should look the PAYLOAD RELEASE FOR DRONES
droneaccessoriesdirect.com

If you want a complete readymade solution, and don't mind a limited 1km range, you can use this from a company in S Korea for $239 with a 1 km range!
Amazon.com: FLiFLi AirDrop Release and Drop Device for DJI Phantom 4 Series (FAD-1000ST): Camera & Photo
Just attach your bomb of choice on a ring to the release clip, and let her rip.
Proof of concept, using raw eggs, found here:
Just don't try this at home kids!
Save it for your next vacation in Syria!
I purchase my drop mechanism for my Phantom 4 from Gimbal Guard for $165. I have used it successfully for dropping water balloons , bottle of beer, and a banner saying "I come in Peace" It works great and is activated by the front led light . It is simple and has it's own rechargeable battery. A bottle of beer is about the heaviest thing I want to lift and release. The device is very simple to install!

GG is running on 3.7V, good luck with it
you can check the 5v at Payload release for P3's & P4's

Yes, however mine is black and the SAR box is smaller. I paid $165 and it works great.

This works on P3 & P4 all series
Servo need to be operated on 5V to be able to provide sufficient Juice
The version below operated on 5V plug & play using LED sensor
Anything more than 6V will burn your servo in long run (google servo specification)

Good morning everyone!
For those who were following this thread while it was alive, we are in our beta testing phase. We are interested in those who want to purchase the unit for greatly reduced cost and test out the unit in exchange for feedback.
For those of you who did not follow the thread, I created this thread in help with getting a payload drop for the DJI Phantom 3 and 4 series. It is completely controlled by the drone as it detects when the LED's are turned off (controlled via app or the drone controller) and will release the cargo you are carrying.
This is a fun and exciting phase. Please PM me ASAP as slots are limited and I will provide with further details. Thanks!

I have the UBuyWeRush device and it works great --- but how did you make a device that can drop 6 objects independently?
