FLiFLi AirDrop FAD-1000ST Release and Drop Device for DJI Phantom 4 Only (Standard)

I purchased the FliFli drop system to use with my Phantom 4. I used it a couple of times with no problem. I went to use it again and now the remote will not work unless it is plugged in to charge even when it has full battery. The main button on the remote most of the time shows solid red, different from when the release is open. I have tried contacting FlIFli several times about the issue and they have not responded. They only used my email to add me to their annoying mass email list for advertising new products. If FliFli would like to finally respond, I would consider removing this poor review. I have tried to get back on their website and it seems like it isn't working either. I am very annoyed by the lack of response. As of right now, it is a waste of money and I would not purchase another since it only lasted 3 months and only used 3 days of those three months.

Very good unit, built well, works good except that the mount that you install on the drone needs to be redesigned. The servo unit slides into a slot and "clips" into the mount, but the "clip" isn't strong enough to hold it in. with a gentle tug I was able to pull the servo right off the mount without even pushing in the tab. I had to use a cable tie to secure the drop mechanism to the mount. On my 3rd flight my cargo dropped without pushing the button, then I realized it was the cargo AND the servo drop mechanism. Luckily I was lifting a nerf football which somewhat cushioned the fall over asphalt. It did get a few cracks in it, and the drop mechanism wouldn't open all the way, but after taking it apart I got it to work properly again. DO NOT use this without securing the unit to the mount or the same thing will happen to you!

I bought this so that I could drop a pull rope over the high branch of a tree so I could pull up a vertical longwire antenna.I did that in Aug 2018.The rope finally gave way last week and yesterday I repeated the process, wondering if the Fli-Fli would still work after sitting for a year. I charged the remote and the unit and they both worked!Charging the units is a little counterintuitive, as there are no lights indicating charging. You just have to go on faith that they are connected and charging. But pressing the power button once will give you the state of the battery with four LEDs that mimick the DJI drone battery LEDs.I flew my antenna raising mission yesterday morning and actually did it twice because the first branch I used wasn't strong enough and both times the Airdrop system worked on the first press of the button.Very useful tool!

The concept of the release mechanisms is great, it’s very lite weight and looks great on the Phantom 4 Pro. The release mechanism worked great for dropping water balloons. But, when I was all done I went to shut the power off to the release box the power button failed to shut down. Had to do the double button push multiple times for it to turn off. And had problems trying to get the release mechanisms to turn on. I’m going to return the unit because of the defective switch and purchase another to see if I can get one that has a functioning switch.

Hi.I like the idea that its work for one kilometer weach is good.I didn't like the idea of instructions that says to press twice, once a short press and once a long press, for the purpose of turning on and off, because sometimes I need to repeat the action a few times.the last time I used it, I was sure the device was off, I went to the ocean and the battery was empty because I though the device was turned off.Thanks.Yehuda Bracha.

While the remote mechanism works OK, I was flying it in some moderate wind, and a large gust came in and the drop unit acted like a scoop and flipped the drone upside down and it crashed - totaling the droneDo not buy this.

Very cheaply made, incorrect range on the ad, Received bad charger wire, Bracket that clips onto drone is sloppy and comes with Velcro straps as a fix, Very disappointed in this item, I got this at a discount and still feel robbed !

Works like a charm for drone fishing.
