UAV Electronics SkyClip User manual

SKYCLIP –OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
IMPORTANT
ALWAYS Use a Drop loop of .04mm diameter mono fishing line in
order for mechanism to release accurately at preset limit.
Tension force is preset at the factory to carry loads up to; 700gms for
Swellpro Spry+, 800grams for the DJI Mavic and 1200grams for DJI
Phantom when using 0.40mm line diameter. SkyClip will automatically
release the line when applied force is higher than tension preset limit.
Always install Skyclip in the middle of the drone for best weight
distribution and sensor avoidance.
INSTRUCTIONS
Always ensure you use a drop loop of no less 50cm with a standard
diameter line of .40mm in all situations for every cast. Insert/Clip the
line in the slot of the bait release until it locks in place.
Take-off the drone gently and reach a defined safety height of over 20
meters above sea level usually.
Fly the drone out over the water at maximum speed and make sure
that your line does not touch the water during the flight.(Keep the line
taught during flight –hold it in your hand) Once you reach the point
that you want to drop the bait, close the lever of the reel mechanism
so that the line stops bailing out –the line will release.
CAUTION
DO NOT slow down the drone and keep the speed constant until the
line releases automatically.
Finally bring back the Drone to Shore.

Attention –Use our products at your own risk as we do not accept
any responsibility for whatsoever loss or damage or injury.
The Story Behind SKYCLIP and UAV
Electronics
UAV Electronics has been designing and producing special
Electronics and Autopilots for Drones and Bait Boats since 2016.
Whilst designing the electronic release systems for RC Boat fishing,
the need arose for bait release systems for Quadcopter Drones. We
initially developed an electronic release for the DJI Phantom
Drone that was bolted to its underside and having tested this
electronic release, we found that there were many drones being lost to
the water due to the electronic release not releasing the line in time, or
if there was a reel jam –the Drone essentially would fall from the sky
as it was flying out the baits.
We began extensive research to try to develop something safer and
more reliable and by chance we came across the Kite Clip release
from a New Zealand website which specializes in Kite fishing
accessories. The Kite Clip utilized a very simple design that consisted
of two ball bearings pushing against each other with a spring behind
them and the tension could be adjusted with a set screw. Having
purchased one from New Zealand we tested it on Quadcopters with
great success and we immediately saw the benefits of using a tension
release system for drone fishing.
These mechanisms are readily available and made by factories in
Europe which specialize in its manufacture, and they have been used
extensively in other markets for many years. This provides a much
more stable and quality manufactured tension mechanism which is
extremely reliable, works flawlessly every time, will not corrode, and

more importantly –we did not need to re-invent the wheel or require
any special Patents.
After many designs and enormous testing –which continues today,
we designed a new Tension release Clip which is integrated into our
own designed gimbal mounts used for Drones to carry payloads and
thus the SkyClip was born.
