A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

If it was a one time thing, some tape and string, I'd just hover it and they'd snip it.
If this was something I wanted to do frequently, there are fairly cheap attachments that you can drop things with, which would be more fun, and I wouldn't have to worry about the person snipping the string tugging it and causing danger to themselves and/or the drone.
They're a battery, little servo to move a pin, and usually a photosensitive trigger, and you can drop things by turning the auxiliary/landing light on or off.
Here's the first Amazon result for that type of device it's $37 and has a max payload of 500 grams.
Did you mean to link something?
Wow, yep I did.
This is actually a different one which looks slightly better. To be clear, I don't know if any if them are worthwhile, I don't own any, I just searched for "payload Air2S" on Amazon.
