I bought a Trackimo GPS locator at a local store but ordered a mount system off a website. I ended up cutting a bike inner tube to protect the landing gear from scratches and zip tied the device to the landing gear as a temporary mounting solution.

Just wanted to make sure that this temporary placement is alright being at the rear left of the quads landing gear.

If not do you guys have any other suggestions of how I could mount this better temporarily?

Hello Raegoul, I have a Phantom 3 Adv and bought a Trackimo as well. I purchased a Trackimo Device Holder online from www.gimbal-guard.com I got the white one for $17.50, it mounts on the side so I put it opposite the side of the mini SD card slot. Took over 2 weeks to get arrive since I am in the U.S. and I think it came from Israel. I haven't had any known issues as of yet. I did order another Trackimo mount online from a guy at https://www.spacecitydrones.com/ for $29.99 and he listed it as mounting on the front. He sent me one that mounted on the side and after nearly a month of no response emails, he said he had trouble getting or making one to mount on the front. I wouldn't buy from https://www.spacecitydrones.com/

I have heard of some people talking about propulsion errors on the motors, so that is something to consider on where you mount your Trackimo. I haven't see mine lean or try and compensate for the slight extra load on the side.
Here is a picture of the one I have now.

I ended up ordering this one from gimbal-guard.com...  Hopefully it comes quick.

To keep the weight down I don't use a mount.   The Trackimo sits face up on the center of one skid with the charging jack facing out, just behind the point where the gimbal guard attaches.  I use a piece of velcro to keep it facing up, and a Ty-Rap to hold it in place.

It is not recommended to add a bar below the downside sensing system. It would influence the normal performance of the system.

Makes sense (no pun intended)

Speaking of Trakimo......will it still work if the Trakimo website is down?   I heard (read) that if their site is down, you can't use Trakimo.    Rare, maybe...but if your Phantom happens to go astray and their website is down......

We have a trackimo mount incorporated into a gimbal guard here for the phantom 3

If the Trackimo server (or ANY route in the path to their server) is down, you get no tracking.

roll the dice....

I welcome correction if incorrect.   This is what I understand their website to say.

Are sure it is not going to interfere with he VPS ? Several stories here of that kind of mounts that disturbed the VPS-sensing, making the AC think it was on the ground and shutting it's motors off...

"ANY route to their server" , that would amount to a few billions of routes collapsing at the same time, which is not impossible but 99.9999999 % impossible. That is how the Internet is made: you can reach each and every server through trillions of different paths, so even when a few million cables are broken, you will still get there, don't worry.
Most 'important' websites are hosted on several servers at the same time, and can immediately switch to the reserve or second reserve server if needed. So, I wouldn't worry too much...
