Lost Twice in Dense Forest

for Scott – Colorado Springs, CO

Twice I’ve lost my Phantom Vision+ in dense forest and successfully tracked it for about a mile using Marco Polo.

I’m currently using the tracker on my DJI S900 and Inspire 1. … Continue Reading

     
Flyaway Ends Up in Brambles

After losing contact during the flight and then waiting for the anticipated flight time in hopes that it would show up, it became painfully obvious that it was not coming home. I live in rugged mountain country, and we have lots of areas where there is very spotty or no cellular coverage, so a lot of the more economical tracking medallions just can't be counted on to work. But, the good news is, last year I did my homework and got the Marco Polo system which uses radio frequency vs cellular or gps. Long story short, it worked like a champ. … Continue Reading
