I just received my replacement Spark from warranty after I lost my orignal drone because of a fly-away situation.  I have ordered a Tile Sport to affix on the replacement Spark.  For those of you who have done this where did you affix it to on the Spark?  Feedback is much appreciated!

As the Tile works via Bluetooth I think this is generally regarded as a bad idea. I originally attached a Tile to the bottom of the Spark using velcro on the battery, but took it off after getting "weird" behaviour. It could be coincidence, but I'd ratehr not rtisk it.

Hi, Thanks for the inquiry. Please be careful of installing third-party accessory to the drone as this may cause a problem during the flight on your aircraft. Thank you for understanding.

I was wondering if this would work, Tile isnt very reliable and sometimes the range doesn't work.

I don't think you want to attach anything to the Spark, given it has such a small body. Anything could cause interference and other unforeseen issues?

I have 0 interference with my gsm gps tracker attached to my spark!
All is good! And the range is endless, wherever there’s gsm coverage!

Fly safe all

The new Tile Pro uses Bluetooth 5.0 and is touted as having a 400' range. Even if you cut that number in half, that's still very useful for setting off an audible alarm to pinpoint the exact location of a crashed drone after using the DJI Go4 app to get a rough estimate of its location.
