I had my Mavic 2 Pro stolen today. Are these trackable?
I am not having much luck doing a search on this so thought I would start a post.
Thanks

Hi, thank you for bringing this query to us and we're sorry for the incident happen to your DJI Mavic 2 Pro. Regretfully, we are unable to track your stolen aircraft. Tracking it would require the aircraft to be flying when it was lost through the flight record on your DJI Go 4 App. We recommend that you report to your local authorities of the theft that had happened, and allow the police to run on their investigation of this incident. Hoping we could do more, we apologize. Thank you for understanding and have a great day.

When mine was stolen I posted the serial numbers here and also created a google alert for the camera serial incase the pictures from it got posted somewhere that displayed the exif from them.  I also soured ebay for weeks looking for it, on the hope that they might have tried to sell everything they stole together and it would be recognisable.

It would only work if it was posted somewhere that showed the exif information or the serial was posted in a forum or something like that.  Its a bit of a long shot, but its free.

So you put a watch on the EXIF information that Google can see that if it ever hits its database it alerts you?

Yes,  google will automatically search its database multiple times a day and alert me if it finds a match.
