Tracker for Phantom 3

[Broni]

Hi everyone
I just bought a P3S and after reading through a few threads on this forum I'm thinking about getting a tracker for it. What do you guys recommend? Thanks

I'm using a Trackimo and like the quality and ease of use. If you need a tracker that does not require a cellular connection, then check out the Marco Polo. You can find a list of other commonly used trackers here.

Thanks so much

Just another question, I see a few people recommend getting a lens cover as it doesn't come with one. Is the clear cover that came on the lens not a cover?

The P3S comes with a lens cap, but you're most likely not going to like it. It fits too tightly -- making it tough to remove and put back on. I use this lens cap on my P3S (and other Phantoms). It's soft, flexible, and easy to use.

Poor man's version. Wonder if anyone has tried it? 500 meter range sounds adequate for most occasions, to my limited experience.

That's pretty interesting, but it sounds almost useless if it loses GPS (over a football field?). I fly over the woods a lot, I can get my location narrowed down with DJI Go (if not a flyaway). That cheap one I posted above is just a signal transmitter with a directional receiver. Rather simple, but more suited for me, I believe. Plus, like Marco Polo, no monthly fees.

I only just ordered a tracker for my new P3P, ( Reachfar RF-V16 GPS Tracker) should be ideal!

Hello Everyone,

My first post on this site. Very interesting site with a lot of Info...I just bought 8 tile units to use on my keychains and what quads that I'm flying. This unit is about 1" X 1" in size with a key-ring hole at one corner of the unit. You do use your smart phone to list and track the items you have them attached to. There's a lot of info on this item so, Here is the site URL for the TiLE tracking/locating system.

I've wondered about using a Tile. I'd love to hear how it works for you!

Tile is similar to TrackR, I have 3 TrackR's. The Bluetooth connection is about 100' max. The P2V+ a lost I believe is old growth timber, at least 150' up. It might have helped me find it, I don't know. I do wish I would have had something on it. The TrackR you can replace the battery. I would not depend on it for finding a lost phantom.
