This Drone Tracker Really Works! Here's The Proof

A drone can be a very pricey piece of technology, especially when it is outfitted with the latest photographic equipment. If you want to make sure your investment doesn't end up lost in tall grass or tangled in shrubs, you need a Tile. The right Bluetooth drone tracker makes it easy to track down your drone if it goes missing out of sight.

How to Find a Lost Drone With Tile

Are you tired of searching through trees and combing through tall grass and bushes for your drone and the constant worry that it might get lost? Adding a Tile to your drone can save you a lot of hassle and stress later on, so you can focus on having fun. There are several reasons to choose a Tile even if your drone is equipped with GPS.

The Tile tracker works with Bluetooth, so it keeps working even when you're flying your drone in areas without cell service. All of our trackers are water-resistant, so even on rainy days or in marshy areas, the tracker will keep going. And thanks to our ultrasonically welded case, the tracker isn't even phased by rough landings.

Also, the tracker is equipped with its own long-lasting battery, so you can find your drone long after it's run out of charge.

To protect your equipment, start by choosing your Tile. Some drone users like how the Tile Sticker can stick onto any device with ease, while others appreciate the Tile Pro for its long range. After you've got your Tile, download the Life360 app, which is available for Android and iOS, and sync the tracker to your account.

Once you have the Tile activated, you can fly your drone normally. Since its battery lasts for a year or more, the Tile will keep working through countless drone flights. Any time your drone lands in an area with a lot of vegetation, you don't have to waste time hunting it down. Instead, you can use the Tile to locate the hidden drone. Just open the app, and tap the Find option for your drone tracker. This will automatically ring your Tile, so you can hear where the drone is even if you can't see it.

If your drone gets hit with a sudden crosswind and ends up far away from your phone, Tile can still help. When you can't seem to get into Bluetooth range of your drone, try marking it as lost. This notifies the Tile Network to start searching for your drone. The Tile Network uses all phones with the Life360 app to anonymously scan for the drone tracker. When your tracker comes into range, you get an alert showing you where the Tile's signal was picked up. Then, you can travel to the area and ring your Tile just like normal.

How Tile's Drone Tracker Works

As drones become more popular, we've heard from more and more customers who found a lost device with Tile's drone tracker. Chad L. reported that a solar flare knocked out the onboard GPS and Wi-Fi on his $1,000 drone. When the electronic disruption hit, his drone took off flying in a random direction. Chad ran off after it but lost sight of the speedy drone.

Chad decided to go ahead and report his Tile as lost in the Life360 app. To his surprise, the app instantly reported the Tile as found! It turned out the drone had crashed right in the range of a fellow Tile Network member. He was able to knock on the woman's door, get permission to check her property, and find his drone quickly.

Brendan W. has a similar story about finding a lost drone with Tile. When he was testing out his brand-new $800 drone, a sudden change in elevation caused him to lose connection. The sun was setting, and he knew his drone had probably run out of battery and grounded itself.

Brendan pulled up the Life360 app and walked around until he was in range. Then, he tapped the Find button to ring his Tile. The loud ringer guided him through the pitch-black forest and down into a gulley where he was able to recover his drone!

As you can see, adding a Tile to a drone ensures that your valuable equipment does not go missing for good.
