Light-Controlled Release with No Extra Remote

The release system uses a built-in photosensitive sensor. When the drone auxiliary light is switched on, the sensor triggers the release mechanism.

This design keeps operation simple because the release can be controlled through the DJI remote controller and the drone light function.

Basic operation is simple: install the device, attach the item with the release line and metal ring, take off safely, then use the auxiliary light to release the payload.

In addition to payload release, the device includes a 1/4-inch screw mount for small compatible accessories.

This makes it useful for users who want to expand the Air 3 series setup with lightweight devices such as compact action cameras or small LED lights.

Accessory weight and balance should be checked before takeoff. Do not mount heavy or unstable equipment.
