Any issues weighing the spark down?I purchased one of these.
Upgradable to 4 tiles.
Only used it on "Hide and Seek" testing around the backyard.
My copilot would hide the Spark and I would find it. And vice-versa.
It works off of RF frequency better than Bluethooth with 400' LOS range?
GPS tiles may require a monthly fee to stay active?
Awesome. Any reason you didn't go with the tile?I haven't noticed any abnormal flights with it.

Perfect that sounds good. I'll look into this. Thanks for the info.The range is better than Bluetooth.
please inlighten me
Exactly. Quite honestly it's more of a piece of mind more than anything. I posted this questions due to videos that I have seen and it scares me.I wasn't sure how accurate the "Find my drone" worked.
I figured it would get me to the general area and I would look from there.
With what I have, I can get to the area, press the button on the remote and start my search.
Whether the Spark is in a tree, bush, or grassy field beyond my vision, I can use the visual and audio cues of the tracker to find it.
Kind of like having a fire extinguisher in your house.
You hope you never need to use it, but it's there if you need it.
The find my drone feature will only show you the actual last location if the Spark is still connected to the remote controller when the Spark lands/crashes. If it gets blown away in a strong wind as it's trying to fly back to the home point (for example), it will not be located at the last recorded point.I don't understand why you need a tracker, I had a fly away and the "find my drone app " worked great took me to the drone a mile away with in 3 ft of it. please inlighten me.
Check out your TXT flight log to see if it explains what happened. You can upload and view it online here. If you'd like other people to review and comment on your flight log, then please post a link back here after you upload it.can you explain this to me? what happened to me.
thanks ill do that soon.i do know i had magnetic interference and lost complete signal when it was only 40ft above me when it flew away.Check out your TXT flight log to see if it explains what happened.

Perhaps your Spark was near some type of magnetic metal object when you took off?i do know i had magnetic interference
its odd i take off from the same spot at least 20 times before. ill post the flight info later today so you can review it , if you don't mind.Perhaps your Spark was near some type of magnetic metal object when you took off?
The Marco Polo tracker is a good choice due to its small size (see it in action here). You could velcro it to either side of the Spark's body. Here are a few places to purchase the Marco Polo tracker:what is the best and least expensive tracker out there?
