Servo drop release with gopro session mount

thingiverse

Here's a simple and effective drop-release mechanism for your next egg-drop competition: Design a spring-loaded device to secure your egg in place before the drop, then have it automatically release when the egg hits a certain height. This will minimize impact on the egg by cushioning its fall with a soft landing surface. To make this work, you'll need some basic materials: a metal spring, a wooden or plastic base, a small metal rod, and some wire for attachment. Assemble the device so that when it's triggered, the spring compresses and releases at the same time as the egg hits its target height.
