The Mavic Pro drone provides two relatively accessible points of data access which might be used with accessory hardware (Arduino, Raspberry Pi, etc.).

Techniques

Camera telemetry hack

Hack the camera telemetry, for example setting the camera's ISO value sends a signal to the accessory hardware.

USB data output port

The USB port is standard output to download files from the drone to a computer.

Micro SD card port

Could be hacked using a modified extender cable, tap cable wires for signals.

TO DO: find out: will it work in-flight?
