Re: Topband: Fwd: Re: Drone and pulley
The are a number of drone remote releases available. Given the small payload capacity of cheap drones the weight is critical for everything - line + release + sinker. The polyethylene woven fishing line has amazing strength and low weight. I use it for my tennis ball launcher to top 120' straight up shots.

With the drone I would think if you can come up with a mechanism to release the rope/fish line you could use a fishing weight about 1 to 1.5 oz and run you line over a tree and drop it. That would keep you from tangling up your drone coming down again. Most of all they really can do some tremendous video with the drone!
