Phantom 4 Dropper

[Drobby]

Is there anywhere to buy a remote control dropper which fits easily onto the drone and can remotely drop a payload?

I've seen a few online which seem to be bespoke and put together by more tech savvy guys than me.

Just wondered if there's a DJI clip on version or something.

Great drone.

No.

There are conditions for safety by the FAA but it is not outright illegal.

Have you ever heard of ball-drops often used by charities as a fund raiser?

Just one example:

A small solenoid, or motor arrangement from a hobby-shop gaffa-taped to the leg along with a small battery. set the controller options to turn on/off the lights with c1 or c2. buttons, have an optical sensor taped/glued to the light, which will power the solenoid when the light flashes on. Could save the battery maybe by using 5v from USB port but probably not good idea as the back-emf from the solenoid may spike or damage the 'brains' if not suppressed properly.
