RCGEEK Payload Delivery Device Compatible with DJI Mavic Mini 2 Drone Transport Thrower Drop Device

Well, it performs as advertised. Unfortunately I made the mistake of attaching a glider to the line underneath the drone and it flew above the drone while still attached and became entangled in the props and the drone crashed to the ground- a total loss.

I like the easy attachment to the drone. I didn't like the range of remote or the missing back leg extension

What I got is actually the Mavic 3 version, but this review still applies to the Mavic mini variant due to its modular design. The payload release unit is the same across different variants. What's different is the mounting plate (in my case the plate with landing gear) to which the payload release unit is attached, and this is why I really like the design compared to other similar products on the market. I hope they would consider packaging all the different mounting plates for all popular DJI drones: Mavic 2 & 3, Mini 2 & 3, so it can be used on all of them.

Used this on my DJI Mini 2 and it hung a phone from the cable but due to the swinging motion, it went in front of the landing sensor and couldnt tell if it was 200 feet up ot 2 feet above the ground, so it almost didnt land. I had to drop the phone early to save the drone thou. Serious flaws with this device, I can not recommend using it, even in a life or death setting where you might need to get a phone to someone that could be trapped. In the process, this device could take down your drone. Almost did mine. I won't be using it again ever after this close call.

Unfortunately I'm sending this one back. The actuator has a small barrel with a hook on the end that rotates 360ﾟhorizontally and it rotates to various positions depending on how many times you have pushed the keypad button. Trying to figure out the sequence of how many times you have pushed the button to get the arm to a position where it can be loaded versus getting to the one button push that makes it spin all the way around, dumping your load when you didn't want it to be dumped, has been problematic.Also, when flying and even taking off, just the slightest slack in the line or a bit of turbulence will cause the line to come off of the hook. Gonna try one of the other drop mechanisms that has a push-pull pin vs a horizontally rotating hook.

Worked on my DJI Mavic Mini.
