This is a follow-on from a posting I placed on the FB Solo Group today. I was asked on the weekend if my drone could drop someone's ashes out to sea, which is quite popular here along the Australian coast. I couldn't really answer, but it was a serious question. So thinking about it, whilst being a morbid subject, dropping ashes after the cremation would be simpler and cheaper than hiring a boat and could be made into a nice event with video and music etc. Anyway, some interesting replies came back to my posting and I've looked at how DJI Phantom flyers are using their drones to drop things and some pretty innovative ideas are out there. My question is (before I start inventing) has anyone come up with a drop mechanism for the Solo..? I can see how tilting the gimbal could work if it could bear the weight of someone's ashes.
PS. I haven't yet called an undertaker to establish the market need or establish the weight. But others have now suggested this may not be a bad idea. There just might be room for grandma under my Solo yet. Maybe I'll contact 3DR for suggestions. But your serious ideas would be welcomed.
Thanks..!
