GPS Tracker for Mavic

[jimapp]

I couldn't get hold of one locally so I opted for the Trackimo. Not had any issues with it.

How or where do you mount it? Any issues with the Mavic with it on?

Been using a Trackimo for a couple of months now on my Mavic. No problems at all.

Sorry, bought a third party holder which sits in between the back legs. Works fine.

The guy who 3D prints the Trackimo holder for Mavic Pro sells them on eBay and he lives in Israel. I bought one the other day!! It does the job very well...

Thanks - would you have a link for the guy who sells the mounts?

They are very good and if you ever have a problem he will replace it FOC.

I saw a review on Amazon that stated this holder places the GPS in a bad location that upsets the Mavics sense of direction and a crash is imminent?! Have you found any issues?

It did that for me - very bad compass interference with an rf-v16 so be careful and check your sensors before flying with it attached. The trackimo may not do this, I don't have one so I don't know.

I ordered a tiny radio beacon for the Mavik and I will use a yagi antenna and my ham radio handytalky for locator capabilities without any cell tower or gps needed. I should have it in about a week and report back on how/whether it worked.
I used to use this sort of equipment years ago for Ham Radio T hunts.

That would be very interesting to see how well that works

If we're talking ham gear, I have one of these, but haven't used it on the Mavic yet. Probably could, only weighs 52 grams. Uses APRS, and would beacon its location every 30 seconds, license required of course.
