Lost Drone Recovery

Never lose a drone again

Cellular GPS tracker + audible buzzer. Find it in any field, forest, or rooftop. Own battery lasts hours after a crash.

Every pilot's nightmare

Last coordinates are approximate

Your drone lost signal and went down. The last telemetry position is accurate to 50-100 meters at best. In tall grass or forest, that's a search area the size of a football field.

AirTags don't work in fields

Apple AirTags and Tile trackers rely on nearby iPhones to relay position. In a remote field, a forest, or a rooftop — there are no phones. The tracker is silent and invisible.

RF trackers give bearing, not location

Marco Polo requires a separate handheld receiver and only gives directional bearing — not GPS coordinates. You still have to triangulate manually in the field.

GPS + Buzzer = Found

1

Drone goes down in a field

Signal lost, drone battery dead. It's somewhere in tall grass or brush.

2

Open dashboard on your phone

Navigate to dashboard.skyrelay.us. See the last known GPS position on the map, accurate to meters.

3

Drive to the area

The GPS coordinates get you within meters of the drone. SkyRelay is still transmitting on its own battery.

4

Tap "Buzzer" — hear it from 100m away

85dB alternating 1kHz/2kHz tone. Audible from over 100 meters in open terrain. Walk toward the sound.

5

Found. Every time.

GPS coordinates + audible buzzer. Two independent ways to locate your drone. No handheld receiver needed.

Recovery features

85 dB

Audible buzzer

Remote-activated passive piezo buzzer, alternating 1kHz/2kHz tones. Hear it from 100+ meters in open terrain. Activated via dashboard or auto-triggered on signal loss.

8-12 hr

Independent battery

18650 LiPo battery keeps SkyRelay alive for 8-12 hours after the drone battery dies. GPS continues updating, buzzer remains available.

Optional solar charging

Clip-on 6V solar panel keeps the SkyRelay alive for days after a crash. If recovery takes longer than expected, solar extends the window.

Cellular GPS tracking

Independent of the drone's GPS. Position updates over LTE as long as the SkyRelay has power. Last known coordinates always available on dashboard.

Works with any drone

DJI Mavic, Air, Mini. Autel EVO. Skydio. Custom ArduPilot builds. Mount the SkyRelay anywhere on the frame — VHB tape, zip ties, or 3D printed mount.

Frequently asked questions

Does it work without cell service?

The buzzer works as long as the SkyRelay has battery power, regardless of cellular coverage. GPS position is uploaded while cellular is available. The last known position is always saved on the dashboard, so even if cellular drops at the crash site, you have the last coordinates.

How long does the battery last after a crash?

8-12 hours on a full charge with cellular active and periodic GPS updates. In standby mode (no cellular, buzzer on demand), it can last even longer. The optional solar panel can extend this to days.

Can I activate the buzzer from my phone?

Yes. Open dashboard.skyrelay.us in any mobile browser. One tap activates the buzzer remotely. You can also configure the SkyRelay to auto-activate the buzzer on signal loss.

Does it work with DJI drones?

Yes. Mount the SkyRelay anywhere on the drone frame using VHB tape, zip ties, or a 3D printed mount. No wiring needed, no app integration. It works completely independently of the drone's electronics.

What if my drone crashes in water?

The Conduit is not waterproof. If the drone lands in shallow water, the cellular GPS position will guide you to the location before submersion. For water operations, consider a waterproof enclosure (3D printable from the customer portal).
