Installation and Usage
To ensure that your Drop System functions correctly, we
recommend following the installation and usage guidelines
detailed below. Should a part or component not function as
explained, please contact DJI Shop Canada for support.
Step 1
Remove the landing gear from your aircraft.
Step 2
Remove the three screws securing the landing gear bracket.
5

Installation and Usage (cont…)
Step 3
Remove the landing
gear bracket from the
airframe of the aircraft.
Mind the cable and
connector on aircraft
equipped with RTK
antennas. Repeat steps
1-3 for the opposite
side.
Step 4
Flip the aircraft either
on its side or upside
down to attach the drop
system bracket. The
holes on the bracket
align with the holes on
the aircraft body.
6
The drop system bracket must be oriented
properly. The curved cutout on the metal
bracket and the electronics bay cover must
face the rear of the aircraft, towards the
battery compartment.

Installation and Usage (cont…)
Step 5
Slide the drop system bracket into place and verify that it is
inserted in the correct orientation. The curved cutout on the
metal bracket and the electronics bay cover must face the rear
of the aircraft, towards the battery compartment.
Step 6
Position the landing gear
bracket to align the holes
with the holes on the
drop system bracket and
on the aircraft body.
Secure the bracket to the
aircraft using the
replacement screws
provided. Repeat on the
other side.
7

Installation and Usage (cont…)
Step 7
Re-attach both landing gear and stand the aircraft upright.
8
The replacement screws provided (right) is
slightly longer than the stock screws (left)
to accommodate for the extra thickness
added when attaching the drop system.

Installation and Usage (cont…)
Step 8
Slide the navigation light cover over the M1 (front-right) motor
and press into place until you hear an audible “click” sound.
Step 9
Mount the light sensor wire routing clips to the arm. Adjust the
routing clips attached to the drop system bracket to ensure
adequate tension. Do not allow the wire to droop downward.
9
The drop system is now installed and you may attach a
payload. To learn how, see page 11.

Installation and Usage (cont…)
To power the unit on, please move the switch towards the
right position. The green LED will illuminate confirming the
unit is powered on. If installed correctly and without any
technical faults, the unit will automatically close the pin.
The drop system relies on the navigation light of your aircraft,
which is located just below the motor, to
know when to engage. When the
navigation light is on, the drop system
will engage, dropping the payload.
As long as the navigation light remains
off, the drop system will keep the pin
closed, preventing the payload from
dropping. The navigation light can be
controlled directly from the DJI Pilot or
DJI Go 4 application on your phone,
tablet, or CrystalSky.
10
When the drop system is in
the engaged/open position,
the red LED will illuminate.
