Good morning, unfortunately after just 20 flights I got a flyaway, the dji recognized the damage as a guarantee.
Once I receive the new drone, can I install an additional gps tracker? Do you know if there are compatible models that do not create interference? What weight can the drone support?

thank you all for the support

If you read that thread, +1 on the Loc8tor.  It's the black thing on the butt of my avatar.

I don't know about GPS interference, however this is a cheap option if you decide on it : http://amzn.to/2uHkIYO Or you could try using DJI 'Find My Drone' ?

I think you have 3 or 4 options.
1. buletooth tracker - cheapest but shortest range (i think about 80m)
2. sim type tracker - good range but only works within cell phone range
3. Marco polo tracker - great range - no cell connection required - quite expensive
4. wifi tracker - i understand that add on wifi devises interfere with mavic pro gps -

I went the loc8tor route too. Knowing where Mavic flew off to, you have a 120m search radius.
I attached mine on the back vertically (partially covering the status light)

I don't recommend mounting any third-party accessories on the drone. Thanks for the kind understanding.

I use one. The best GSM-based tracker is Trackimo, but it's kind of pricey. I'd say get either a RF-V16 or a TK-102 (I use this one) and either get a 3d-printed holder that mounts on the rear arms and away from the body, or do as I did and velcro it to the side of the drone, next to the SD card door. Just be sure to calibrate compass WITH the tracker on! That way you avoid any interference it may cause.
