Attaching a Payload When you’re ready to attach your payload, ensure you have considered the following: The payload does not exceed 1lb/0.45kg. The payload does not contain any dangerous contents. The payload is not too large which may obstruct the downward vision system.

Attaching a Payload (cont…) With the payload pin open, insert the included carabiner clip into the cavity underneath the drop system where the payload pin is. Once the clip is inserted, you may release the manual pin release button to close the payload pin. At this point, you may connect your payload to the carabiner clip.

Attaching a Payload (cont…) Once your payload is connected, it must be positioned behind the aircraft to ensure takeoff is unobstructed. Please see the images below for reference. Important things to consider: The line you use to connect your payload must be strong and not frayed.
