Two independently controlled electronic release positions let you carry two separate payloads — two hook rigs, a pre-bait burley bag plus a hooked rig, or any two-payload combination — and drop them at different locations during a single flight. No permanent modification to your drone, no extra transmitter, and no drain on the Mavic's flight battery. This is the most capable Gannet option for Mavic Pro owners who want to maximise every flight over Australian beaches and surf breaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Two Releases Beat One\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExperienced Australian drone anglers know that getting bait to structure, gutters, or sand flats beyond the break is half the battle.
