The Best Way to Find a Lost Drone

The Best Way to Find a Lost Drone

280 View





If you've ever lost a drone in a forest or on a mountainside you know how hard it can be to find it again. With any wind or water creating background noise a beeper or buzzer will often go unheard unless very close by. That's where the Marco Polo Tracker clearly takes the win for drone recovery. It tells you how strong the signal is (distance away) and even gives you an arrow telling you what direction to go. No GPS required. I'll show you what comes in the box as well as demonstrate it's use out in the wilderness.

You can find the Marco Polo Tracker here (Eureka Technologies website): https://eurekaproducts.com/rc-model-tracking-and-recovery/

Here is a link to a 3d print I made to fasten the RF tag to a battery strap: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5823872
