Can’t I just use a car or child tracking device?
While some have utilized these methods they are not always the best choice when it comes to drones. Many of these devices are tone-location based, which doesn’t help you much over a large distance, and in general they are fairly specialized. It is much better to rely on a device that is miniaturized and geared for a long distance search. Once you take a look at our selections then you will get a little better idea of what we mean. Some of the specialized trackers in this list can utilize web tracking, satellites, and other clever methods to help to ensure that your drone never goes where you cannot find it (and these are crash proof and waterproof!). Let’s take a look and you can see for yourself.TrackRBravo

Our first entry is simple and effective. This coin sized tracker can help you to find where your drone has landed through a series of beeps or even utilizing blutetooth if the drone is close enough. The trzcker app that you use basically tells you if you are getting closer or further from your target and if it is very far away then it has a ‘Crowd locator’ function that can help to reunite you with your lost drone. The last thing that you want is to lose your expensive drone so we highly recommend investing in this or another tracker so that you can quickly find and retrieve your property in the event of the dreaded crash.

For one thing, it’s waterproof, so if your drone takes a dunk you can still find it and get it back home. So, how does it work?

“Trackimo utilizes satellites and cellular towers to triangulate the location of your drone.”web-based option which allows you to track the location of your drone online. It’s got an excellent range due to the nature of how it works, meaning that you can track your drone, a child, your cat, or even your neighbor wherever they go. Of course you will likely only be using it for your drone but if you purchase more than one unit you can link it (up to 100 items, actually) to your account so that multiple drones or anything else that you can think of may be tracked. As far as the service that goes with it, your Trackimo comes with a sim provided that gives you one year of cellular service to utilize for your tracking and it comes with a large number of extra features. Some examples include:
- Real time tracking

- Alerts when the drone is moved (great theft protection!)
- Smart alerts by email, text, or directly through the app
- Full support by phone
