Remember it can't touch the gimbal frame.ocphantom said:I mounted it between the legs on the left side, one zip tie around each leg with the gps tracker in the middle. Flew it today and the gps tracker has too much surface area for my liking and made it easy for the wind to push it along. Going to try velcro it flush against the phantom belly behind the camera
For some reason the on off button doesn't seem to work ?

What method does it use to send back the GPS coordinates? Usually the monthly fee is associated with using the cellular service to feed back the GPS location to your smartphone. If there is no monthly fee, that makes me think it is proximity based... which means you have to be somewhat near it to find it...

Aqeel200 said:yes, thats the risk..i didnt use velcro as it might come off during flyaway crash...and it may be a bit wobbly too.

4x aaa? that must be one heavy tracker for your AUV...r0ot5 said:I'm thinking of going with a SPOT Trace tracker, you can find some info here:
https://www.findmespot.ca/en/index.php?cid=128
Weight: 87.9 g (3.1 oz)
Height: 6.83 cm (2.69 in)
Width: 5.13 cm (2.02 in)
Thickness: 2.14 cm (.95 in)
It uses 4-AAA batteries and they are good for almost a year in the device.
and I love that it rely on Satellite to send it's position data to there server, you can then receive either a text or go directly on a map using there mobile app and track it's position. With the basic subscription you can set the update time at 5 mins so it's not that bad....
Yep i also have this one coming to me.MikesTooLz said:I just got one of these:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/161145659880?ss ... 1497.l2649
and wow, I'm impressed. This think is tiny, it has a full GPS chip inside and you use a GSM simcard to communicate with it. If you have a service plan with data, you can track the device via a website or mobile app on your phone. I got a T-Mobile pay as you go simcard and added $10 to the accound. I can send a text message to it for 10 cents each message and it reply's with its current GPS location and link to a google map with its location marked.
The thing is so small I could put it inside the phantoms case if I wanted to however I'm not going to as it wold be a pain to charge it up and turn it on/off. It weighs practically nothing. I'm planning to see what the smallest watertight plastic container is that I can find and then just velcro it onto the phantom, this way it can still be tracked if it ends up in the water (I'm in Florida right near the ocean)
Why a waterproof case ? Phantoms not waterproof . I'm sure if you don't find pretty quick with the gps , then it's probally underwater or completely destroyed.MikesTooLz said:I just got one of these:
