Right. I think the only negative reviews we have ever received were from customers that lost a drone and couldn't get a signal from the tracker until they were right on top of it. In both cases the tag transceiver was damaged in the crash. If you are flying a Spark or a racing drone then you...

The Marco Polo Ultralight tag is smaller and about half the weight of the smallest Trackimo. Even the waterproof Marco Polo Advanced tag is only 2 grams more in weight than the smallest Trackimo device and both Marco Polo tags will work where there is no cell coverage. It is doubtful that 2...

We are often asked by customers who are considering the Marco Polo RC Recovery System if they should purchase the waterproof "Advanced" version or the non-waterproof "Ultralight" version. I try to lay out the pros and cons; The Ultralight is, of course, smaller and lighter and gives you more...

The main advantages of the waterproof "Advanced" Marco Polo vs the "Ultralight" are; IP67 waterproofing, clip-in mounting system that allows you to easily remove it for charging or to move to another drone and a crush-resistant polycarbonate case that will protect the tracker in the event of a...

Hey there. I have been looking for someone that is a "drone collector" to help us out with photographs of our products on various drones. If you have an interest in that then please put in a contact email on www.eurekaproducts.com

Speaking of trees - here is a little known fact for you about your Marco Polo system: The handheld locator is a pseudo-Doppler direction finder than is normally held with the antenna array normal to the ground (or the display panel parallel to the ground, depending on how you want to look at...

If you did have Marco Polo on your MP (is that confusing?) you probably would have had your drone back within 15 minutes to an hour, and that would have been a much more enjoyable day than the one you had. I hear the argument all the time that it shouldn't really be necessary to have a tracker...

Now that you have found it, you might consider putting a tracking system on it - like a Marco Polo. If you had that to begin with, you would have likely had your drone back in an hour or 2 and been a much happier pilot. The Marco Polo system works anywhere you travel, whether there is cell...

There are some cellular/GPS alternatives that are cheaper to purchase than Marco Polo (i.e. Trackimo) but after you have paid the service fees for a long enough period of time they will cost as much or more - and only work where there is cellular coverage. There are also bluetooth devices that...

You might consider a tracking system in case you have a flyaway or sudden equipment/power failure. The Marco Polo Ultralight RC Model Recovery System, at only 12 grams, is one of the few that is small and light enough for the Mavic. It also works even when there is no cell service and requires...

If you get a Marco Polo system for a Mavic, you really want the Ultralight RC Recovery system. That is the one that is only 12 grams and has no monthly fees. Marco Polo Ultralight Single RC Model Recovery System - Tracking and Recovery Made Easy | Marco Polo the Tracking and Recovery System
