No experience, but I've looked into the matter.  There are several small personal trackers that will probably be light enough and work in areas where there is good cellular coverage.  Most require a SIM card and some sort of service agreement.  I presume you may have already found some but need a recommendation.  Cant help you with that, but I'd be also be interested in actual user experiences.  Good luck.

Good topic.  I am stuck between Bluetooth tracker (e.g. Tile), GPS tracker, or nothing.

One thing that would steer me toward a Bluetooth tracker would be if the Mavic would be located within a general area based on its own GPS chip.  In the Casey Neistat video where he loses his drone and DJI apparently tells him he can track it via its last known location.  If that is viable and easy, then that might steer me to a cheaper/simpler Tile-type solution.

Hopefully somebody from DJI can comment.

Trackimo is the GPS tracker that I've seen others using.
