Beacon Self-powered Drone Buzzer with Battery Lost

Addresses failures of other devices: EASY-to-USE, NO INSTALL NEEDED & SELF-Powered!
After almost losing my “Daily Driver”, I bought a cheap drone to ease my anxiety & not have to worry about losing if the kids flew it. I lost the cheap drone twice in the trees and wouldn’t have found it either time w/o my kids keen eyes. Then my prized drone floated off into the sunset. I chased it 2.5 miles ON FOOT as it slowly drifted towards the lake! Well, in Arlo Guthrie style: It didn’t go into the Lake, it went into the TREE! 150ft up, up, way up in the tree!.. And it wasn’t coming down any time soon! I only found it b/c of the navigation lights as it was now dark. If it was the tall grass with the raptors, I wouldn’t have seen it! It wasn’t until 9 months later that it fell out of the tree. Kudos to DJI (EVERYTHING still worked incl/battery!)I ordered a tracker.. BUT, I didn’t realize until I had it in my hands that this was designed for a custom-built drone where it would be inserted into custom wiring harnesses and required custom programming to arm the device and send a keep-alive signal. The final straw was when I realized that there wouldn’t be ANY LIGHTS OR SOUNDS if the battery was damaged or ejected in a crash! And once you’ve lost connection with the controller, it could be ANYWHERE! That was the whole point of the tracker!After doing some research, I found this tracker:* EASE OF MIND when operating your expen$ive drone!* EASY Installation by Zip-TIE* SWITCH from one device to another without re-wiring or re-programming* NO HARD WIRING NEEDED: NO cutting wires, splicing wires, or custom wiring harnesses!* BATTERY ON TRACKER ITSELF (doesn’t rely on Drone’s battery which might be damaged or ejected!)* RECHARGEABLE BATTERY * MINIMAL Weight * NO CUSTOM batteries or coin cells needed * CHARGE batteries in the field or on-the-go * Ample TIME – device continues to operate long enough for you to actually FIND it!* AUDIBLE BEEP (loud)* VISIBLE FLASHING (bright, attention-getting LEDs)* INTELLIGENT Tracker * Senses NORMAL FLIGHT vs LOSS OF CONTROL via on-board inertial sensors * NO COMMUNICATION with drone needed (some devices monitor servo signals) * NO PROGRAMMING needed (some devices need access to custom-switches or custom switch throws – i.e. toggle navigation lights on-off-on to enable tracker)* Reputable/Dependable Industry brand* Cost-effective – extremely affordable compared to the value of the equipment it’s protectingThis is actually a very sophisticated tracker with a very simple user interface. KISS: Keep It Simple Stupid! It’s dead-simple to set up and use, you don’t have to worry if it ‘s working properly, and you finally don’t have to worry WHEN your drone develops a mind of it’s own1Highly recommended!

It’s Loud, the Light is Bright! BUT You have to remember to turn it on. Expensive $$$$
OVERVIEW:THis thing works great on you toys that don’t have a flight controller or no options for a buzzer. It also works great if you don’t want to solder to your flight controller. The buzzer is pretty loud. I have not measured it so I can’t say if it meets the loudness stated in the description, but it is significantly louder than those buzzers rated @ 90db.PROS-Loud-No soldering required-No flight controller required-Easy use to attach with double sided tape or velcro (be warned that veloc backing doesn’t want to stick to the shrinkwrap real well)-Seems pretty impact resistantCONS-Expensive for what it does compared to other buzzers-It really needs a case so that you can attach with a zip tie (I’ve lost two of them because I forgot to turn them on during line of sight flying and have them pop of and not notice that they popped off.). Remembering to turn it on seems like a rookie mistake but, most of the other buzzers are connected to flight controllers so, essentially they are always “armed” and just waiting for you to hit the buzzer switch on your radio or for your battery to get disconnected in a crash)Recommendation:I use this on FPV wing build that are running KOPILOT because it’s not possible to put a buzzer on those you are using the SBUS connection. If you have a flight controller and don’t mind doing the soldering, then I think there are better and cheaper options out there. The pro of not being connected to a flight controllers is also a con of not being connected to a flight controller, you can’t control it with a switch (more useful when you haven’t crashed but just landed in high grass). If you forget to turn it on, then it is easy for it to pop off and not notice that it is missing (because it is not connected to a flight controller, you never hear any beeps, so you forget that there is a buzzer on there, so it is easy to forget about it all together, that includes forgetting to turn it on

Damn near perfect
Nice packaging, fast shipping and it works. I have lost three helicopters in the past two months. Only had this product mounted on the latest travesty. It was high up in a tree and I’m still unable to get it but I was impressed the capacitor kept the thing beeping and blinking for two solid days. Just bought another one with hopes of not having to utilize it but we all know better.
