Thanks for the post Jeremy. I looked at the RF-V16 review you posted the other day but it only comes in 2G and  I wasn't sure how long it would be supported. I ended up buying a Trackimo 3G tonight! Have you heard anything about a 3G version coming out yet? I couldn't find anything.

The company that makes the RF-V16 also has a device designed for tracking animals, it is the RF-V40 and is 3G compatible. The only drawback is that it is shaped like a dog's paw: http://en.rf-gsm.com/products/Re ... ps_tracker_645.html

Unfortunately for me a device that depends on a cellular connection is next to worthless..... I have to use  the  Marco Polo...  I might buy one in the future if I can ever get more urban work

Very nice mounting of the RF_V16. How do you find it now? I hear that 2G is being phased out. Are you still getting reception?

Here in my country they are still working very well.Before four months my P2 with gopro 4 and lightbridge system crash two KM from me because of a fail T-motor,I was able to track it very accurately  and recover it.If it wasn't the RF-V16 i can tell you for sure my P2, H3-4D ,LB1, GH4, gone lost for ever.

I was going to get the RF-V16 but the issue with 2G scared me off. I ended up going with a Trackimo 3G which has been okay. I'm still waiting for my mount to arrive from Israel though.

I am curious how you have that attached on the P4 GPPMS.
Is it homemade or aftermarket holder?
