I have this crazy goal of flying my mini to a homeless dude and droppping reese's peanut butter cups.  Problem is, adding a traditonal servo based payload release would add to much weight.  If some of you 3d prinint experts can come up with a design that uses the "camera pan down" as payload release trigger, that would be awesome!

Hello there trader6777. Thank you for reaching out and for sharing this information with us regarding putting and accessory to your DJI Mavic Mini for you to be able to give reese's peanut butter cups to a homeless person. Just a reminder that if an accessories are mounted to the DJI Mavic Mini, it is recommended to enable the Payload Mode for enhanced safety. Please note that the Maximum Service Ceiling above Sea Level is 1500m and the maximum flight speed is limited when the Payload Mode is enabled. In addition DJI does not recommend using a 3rd party accessory or modifying your DJI Mavic Mini for safety purposes. Finally, I hope that you will get the best feedback from our DJI co pilots with regards to this matter as well. Thank you and have as safe flight always.

Don't drop the peanut butter cups, just land and have people take them off the drone

You need to pan down to aim at your target though
