3DR Solo drone with a remote dropper for fishing: After doing some research I found out that the 3DR solo drones have a total payload of 700g (including the gimbal) which is comparable and sometimes exceeds the stats of gannet drones, phantom drones, mavic drones, swellpro splash and swellpro spry/spry+ drones, condor drones, and other fishing drones on the market. So it was a no brainer to set it up for fishing. The 3DR Solo also has a dedicated accessory bay which allows you to properly place the accessory for the weight balance/distribution on the drone.

It's insanely fast and can handle decent wind.

Return trip to put 5 hooks out 200-300m is roughly 2 mins, so you get 10-15 runs per charge in good conditions. Range is 900m for the drone and 500m for the dropper. It comes down to how much line you have on your reel though. In saying that, I'll throw in the Okuma Avenger reel that I've used with this drone. Its nice to flick the baitrunner on and leave the rod in the holder while you wait for that fish to jump on! Its spooled up with about 300m of 30lb braid.

While the app for these drones is no longer supported on modern devices, the smart remote and GPS system means that you can see distance away from the take-off location and current drone altitude, from the screen on the remote. I've also taken the gimbal off so that it can pull it's maximum payload

I added an independent remote dropper system for the bait release. This has a 500m range. You can find a lot online about how to rig a drone trace to keep it away from the props and not gain sway momentum against the drone.
