Innovative, Lightweight, Lightning Fast Deployment
The DJI DropSafe is a new drop speed reduction system. In the event of an emergency, it deploys in less than half a second, and is effective at a minimum altitude of 6 meters. The reusable design weighs less than 550g, adding a high level of protection with very low added weight.

Dual Safety Mechanisms & Self-checking LED
The DropSafe has both electrical and mechanical safety mechanisms to ensure there is never any accidental deployment.
*Electrical Safety: The electrical safety prevents the parachute from deploying within 9 seconds of the system being powered on.
*Mechanical Safety: A removable safety pin prevents the triggering pins from making contact with the firing mechanism. Users must remove the safety pin before the first flight, and may choose to replace the safety pin after each flight.
Also, a self-checking LED indicates the DropSafe system status. A green light will display after a full system check is complete, and other lights will display indicating different statuses.
Compatible with DJI Flight Controllers and Platforms
*Compatible with DJI S1000, S800 EVO, and S800 systems
*Compatible with DJI A2 and WooKong-M flight control systems
*Supports command inputs from RC transmitters
*An independent RC control channel is reserved for parachute deployment. Additionally, a back-up battery safeguards the system, so if the main battery fails, users can still deploy the parachute manually.
*Automatically cuts off motor power when parachute is deployed
Important: The DJI DropSafe parachute is designed to minimize damage to equipment in the event of an accident. However, no guarantee can be made that all damage will be prevented. Use with caution.
Payload---Speed of Descent*
3kg --- 4.4m/s
6kg --- 5.6m/s
9kg --- 6.8m/s
12kg --- 8.6m/s
15kg --- 11.7m/s
*Data obtained at low altitudes and in a windless environment. For these tests, the parachute was attached to the aircraft arms in a uniform way, with each connection string placed 17cm away from the center of gravity. Actual speed of descent is subject to setup and environmental conditions.
