Today, we discuss tracking devices.  Should you attach one to your drone?  Will it interfere with your GPS signal?

Whether or not you need (or should use) a tracking device depends on the type of drone you’re using.  Many new drones come pre-equipped with tracking devices.  If you’re flying a Phantom 4 Pro or Mavic Pro, for example, you can use DJI Go to track your drone.  This applies to a number of DJI’s newest models.  It even works in the case of a flyaway.  If, somehow, you lose the battery, DJI Go will let you know where the GPS was last transmitted. Therefore, you may want a tracking device.  However, you’ll only need one if you have an older model drone.
