I made a homemade one using a remote drop system. And totally reusable and I can Control when the parachute is to be released . Spring loaded. I use Estes rocket nylon parachutes. Again Captain thank you very much a wonderful video I almost bought one of these I’m glad I didn’t the mere fact that you have to send it off to repack seems like a pain in the bottom.
This got pasted to the wrong Post. This is now the correct plce. Hey Bro: Now If you had a device like this disguised as a Bomb or Rocket (Pilot Deployable) to be used as an emergency parachute system like the (Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS) For Expensive R/C model aircraft weighing from 25 to 65 Lbs. At our R/C Field in AJ AZ this winter, I witnessed the destruction of over $50,000 worth of TOY model R/C Turbine & Gas powered that could have been saved from total destruction by such a Ballistic Recovery System (BRS) or CAPS. It wouldn't save landing accidents but would save many that can't make an emergency landing back on the runway from total destruction & save most of the expensive parts.
Test was so good, I was thinking to buy it, after tbat I won't, thanks to prove that under 25 meters you will lose your drone, hurt someone, almost useless. 👍
If you have need for safety over people or your drone is expensive, then the product is great for a one time use. In some areas, especially work, such items are necessary or else your insurance goes way up.
Nice idea...in the making. Need to do this test again with an active non-expensive drone.. over tall grass.. You can use one with the emergency stop button. A single use parachute's a bad idea.
Cool concept but should be a DIY repackable optional!!! Or offer a factor repack option as well for a nominal fee! I’d buy it if I could repack myself, let’s face it most of us as kids had the little green plastic army soldier w a parachute that you could throw up in the air and it would fall and the parachute would protect his fall!
Excellent idea 💡! Very cool! Feels like if it works well it should come standard with the big heavy drones ! Maybe they could go easy on the part 107 for big drones that adopt this option.
That's not a Fail if you/we learn more details about the product. Now, if there was a parasail version so that the drone could glide down rather than plummet.
I understand now why you used a sacrificial drone. 👍 I’ve seen other products that work similar but the result is the same 50/50 chance of saving your drone. Very dependent on altitude. Great demonstration though Steve.
This would have come in handy on a few lr crashes I've had. I once lost a prop like 6 km out and the quad fell on the only big rock in a large clearing smashing it to several pieces.. I learned to tighten props before every flight now
I think it's a great idea, but I just don't like the idea of having to order another one, and not be able to insert the parachute back into the box? I'm sure they're a little expensive, so not being able to reassemble the parachute is not cool. Another thing now that we know all of that, will you be charged again for ordering the replacement? Because if you do? I don't know about that. Thanks again Steve for another great video. I think it was definitely one to watch? Thanks again. 👍👍👍
I disagree!! But not in an internet way, I'll try and provide reasonable arguments!! Firstly, I wouldn't mind buying a replacement once it has been used, especially if it has saved me having to spend a couple of thousand dollars for a new drone!! And secondly, I think allowing people to repackage it would lead to people repacking it incorrectly, and then trying to blame the company for their own failure!! Also, what other things need to be recalibrated?? Maybe there is a trugger mechanism that can't be re-triggered without the appropriate knowledge?? But I do agree, a unit like this that can be used multiple times by the user would be nice, but I feel not nearly as safe!! I wish we had been told the price (or did I miss that??) to judge whether it is worth a one shot purchase compared to the replacement cost of a drone, or repairs to that drone!!
@@scottiethegreat74 definitely cheaper to get a new parachute for sure? But for the price of them? I think it's should be reusable. I do know that they cost over $120.00 dollars? I think it's just a little bit to much to use one time only. I do agree with you on better buying another parachute than another drone. Thanks for your input.
I think it is reasonable to charge for another trigger mechanism of some sort, like a self inflating life vest for instance, but not the whole thing. I can see it being useful for camera platform drones under limited circumstances. As for putting it on an fpv drone- it would just get me stuck higher up in a tree at best lol.
It would've been a great idea if it worked properly. Did any of you notice how fast it dropped even during the second flight? That was with the parachute fully deployed right from the start. I don't care how much it costs, if it's not working properly, it shouldn't be promoted.
We need a system for fixed wing R/C Aircraft too. Now If you had a device like this disguised as a Bomb or Rocket (Pilot Deployable) to be used as an emergency parachute system like the (Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS) For Expensive R/C model aircraft weighing from 25 to 65 Lbs.

Thanks for the review cap. It's a great idea but needs more work to make it reusable. I wonder just how many drones fall from the sky with newer technology in the past few years. I know if my drone fell from the sky my concern would not be saving the drone with this product, but reducing danger to people or damaging some property. So if your drone does fall from the sky. You may not want to fly that drone again.
Drones only fall from the sky due to human error... in 99.9% of cases. I've only seen a prop explode in the FPV hobby and that was from the prop nuts being too tight and cracking the props.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thank you Cap for taking the time to respond to my comment. I do agree on the human error factor for drones falling from the sky. I still have anxiety when flying and it's not about losing my drone, but hurting someone or property damage.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 In my case, a drone had a sudden total failure with no pilot error. But she was barely 10m above the ground and even a parachute would have been of no use.
The DJI forums are full of people saying their Mavic or their Mini just dropped out of the sky. My drones drop into trees often and had a flyaway but none just dropped. So how how high does Manti want you to fly up before ya fall out of the sky? If I knew I had to be at a certain height I would fly down and not up, lol. I guess ya lose a radio channel and might be afraid to deploy it till its too late cause ya have to pay them to repak it. And what if you accidentally bump the switch, Its gonna shoot some nylon rope into your props which will definitely then fall from the sky. I dont believe anybody should put this on an expensive drone cause accidents happen and Manti's insurance cant cover that and i dont see how they will stay in business
have you talked at all about possible work arounds for "DJI FLY" app on android devices not working any longer? It isn't even in the plat store but DJI GO is? the weather was finally nice enough to fly my Air2 but my app won't work anymore! HELP ME CAPTAIN?
Hi! Thanks for the review! Is this legal in Canada? Or do you also have to register/immatriculate the parachute? Dors the parachute has to be approved by Transport Canada? Thanks again!
I think the idea is neat, but the cost and the fact that you have to replace the head unit after deployment(with the replacements also being costly) make it not practical for those with cheap or mid-range drones.
Great, as always thank you for testing. What about if you just attach a normal homemade or small parachute (without any electronic controls). Will that not work? Thank you
I don't green that you are to blame, unless it states in the docs that in the cold it needs to be higher. If not, and the only hight given is 25 metres, then it's the manufactures fault, not yours.
It worked, point made. Good one. Thanks Benny. I've got 1 Cpt. Drone sticker left. It goes on my new drone. Please give away more Cpt.Drone stickers. Later, Benny
Is there a maximum payload that the parachute can hold on? Or there are different parachute sizes? I wonder. Anyway, great flight (or should I say drop) test with this device, my Captain!
50g would put many drones above the 250g threshold: do they provide terminal velocities for common drones so we can calculate possible impact force and apply for registration?
Well if it only works at certain heights it's not going to be a great buy. Good idea, but not going to work unless your drone is super high off the ground.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 true, but in the scheme of things having this based on what you have shown me, leaves a lot to be desired. It's not for me, but you keep it "up", and let me know how it works out for you. For every pot there is a lid, but this lid is not for my pot. 😉
as much as I like the idea of a parachute system for a drone, they are so poorly designed, that seeing the impact of that second test with parachute deployed, would almost certainly still break my mavic 3 to pieces, the arms are very fragile and the gimbal is very flimsy, i understand that safety is the primary benefit to this, but i would rather pay more for a better quality product that also offers protection of not smashing my $2500 drone causing minimum $1000 worth of extra damage
So in summation if you fly your drone over a crowd (A NO NO) below 82' and for some reason it looses lift you're going to KILL someone with a 666 gr (23.492 OZ) object falling at 72.64 Ft/S or 49.53 MPH.
If you fly low, then the parachute system is of no use to resolving the issue of a drone falling at full speed on a person. As noted in the video, in warm summer weather the drone must be at 25 meters or higher.
I had the feeling that this parachute was going to be reviewed! Manti III is a good accessory for drones. 3:55 You scared me without even getting started💀... SG906 is still a good beginner budget drone that does the work for newbies. If I see that low cost drone crash, then also it is going to hurt me! SplashDrone 4 carrying the 666 grams SG906 and Manti III tells that how powerful is it!💀 Maybe the first time, it wasn't able to comppete its mission because of its mass...💀💀💀 Lol Then also SG906 survived easily which tells how good is it! Overall, Manti III is a nice parachute for drone if one is flying at very high altitudes, but not for Indian natives as 15 metres is the maximum height limit ☠... Did you really threw the 200 dollars drone in the air Steve?! You broke it purposely??!! How can you do such thing or be so rude, even though it is a low cost drone... Lol, but I am right though...
I would never use this. I bought one for my Air2S. You have to mount in all the way back to avoid the battery power button. Then the strap pushes against the two battery release buttons on each side - VERY STUPID! Great parachute, dumb mounting method (at least for the Air2S).
If you were just going to drop it, why use a drone? Why not just attach it to a light brick? If you had to use the drone, why not fly it and cut power when you were high enough? That would save you the need to have 2 drones and be a more typical scenario anyway. FWIW that was one tough drone you tested there. Not even cracked landing gear.
If you have a RUclips channel, you must capture stuff on video in a reliable manner so you don't miss the shot since you only get ONE SHOT at it. Hence, you can't trust a drone to hover at one point, carrying a camera on top and a parachute unit and motors to perfectly shut off.
@@MrPhilbautista NOPE... the second time you saw it was when I stuck the chute, already open, to the bottom of the SPLASHPRO 4 and dropped it. Are you sure you watched the vid, cause that was all explained.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Yes, I did. Hence the LOL. It didn't deploy properly the first time due to the cold weather, but the drone survived the crash. And since the chute can't be reinserted by the owner but must be returned to the company, you had to do it the way you did. BTW how much to have it reinstalled and what's the max weight it can handle? The drone you attached it to seemed to be too heavy. It dropped pretty fast even with the parachute open.
Well I wouldnt call it a goof up - it was a test and frankly, it failed. Cold temps indeed - Nah, it failed. A higher starting point would have of course worked by the looks of it, but their claim is 25 metres so that has to be the test

Darn!….oh well…👍
No reason to make it impossible to repack. Seems like e-waste to me.
Need more research for this
I completely agree!
Agreed plus it will only work for people filming and higher altitudes. Very niche market.
I agree. company's are so greedy

Yea, it would have been more entertaining to see 5k worth of drone bounce of the concrete or float down gently. haha
Good fun video Steve. Neat idea the parachute.
Nice idea...in the making. Need to do this test again with an active non-expensive drone.. over tall grass.. You can use one with the emergency stop button. A single use parachute's a bad idea.
Multiple camera angles was so nicely done
Damn Captain , You just smashed it at the end ? no way , it might not be the best Drone but none are , take care Captain .
That drone is badass.
Cool. Still going down pretty fast with the parachute, though.

The 906 did a good job at trying to level itself and autogyro on the way down. Despite being dropped like a pack mule from a ufo.
Remember Kowalski from "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea ' ? The guy who always came back from suicide missions ? The 906 is our new Kowalski.
Have a good week
That's not a Fail if you/we learn more details about the product. Now, if there was a parasail version so that the drone could glide down rather than plummet.

Thanks again!
In Canada you register drones. Anything to assist in the Safety and Handling of an RPAS is welcomed.
I think the idea is neat, but the cost and the fact that you have to replace the head unit after deployment(with the replacements also being costly) make it not practical for those with cheap or mid-range drones.
Great, as always thank you for testing.
What about if you just attach a normal homemade or small parachute (without any electronic controls). Will that not work? Thank you
That would quickly end in disaster as there is no way to stop the chute from getting tangled in the props on takeoff
But what if you aren't flying that high?
Smart using a cheap drone to do the test. I like the product but it should allow you to repack the parachute.
Oh man.... I guess its pointless for microdrones... a cool concept for something bigger and more expensive
Give it another shot
I don't green that you are to blame, unless it states in the docs that in the cold it needs to be higher. If not, and the only hight given is 25 metres, then it's the manufactures fault, not yours.
it's good to try it on the grass and was saved from being struck ....why not try it by itself without using another quad😁😁😁
Will you be giving it another go ?
I only had one unit to test out
It worked, point made. Good one. Thanks Benny. I've got 1 Cpt. Drone sticker left. It goes on my new drone. Please give away more Cpt.Drone stickers. Later, Benny
Give away of stickers usually occurs in November... stay tuned.
Is there a maximum payload that the parachute can hold on? Or there are different parachute sizes? I wonder. Anyway, great flight (or should I say drop) test with this device, my Captain!
Yes, the maximum is listed on their website.
50g would put many drones above the 250g threshold: do they provide terminal velocities for common drones so we can calculate possible impact force and apply for registration?
FAA will probably require this as well.

If you fly over people often, then trust me... this is a solution to avoid lawsuits.

If you have any drones you feel the need of destroying send them to me I’ll use them 👍

This was sooo anti-satisfying just because you didnt get it to work :DD

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thanks, it works, idk what happened, before it wasn't highlighted in blue and it wouldn't click.
