Tracking Beacon Update

We’re excited to share an update on the Beacon. As you can see from the video above and many shots below, it is now working well. The Beacon now delivers on a new level of tracking reliability, speed, and accuracy, in all conditions.

We will ship to Beta customers next, before kicking off production. Please contact us if you would like to be part of the Beta program. We will prioritize iPhoneX and Android phone owners. We’ve seen the GPS accuracy on the iPhoneX is much worse than previous iPhones and results in disappointing tracking shots. For our Android customers, we know the Android app pales compared to the iPhone one; we owe you one until the improvements are released. Once we begin production this fall, we will prioritize shipments to pre-orders customers based on original order dates.

You can see more shots with the Beacon below, including several full-length raw shots. We’re excited with performance now but still plan to improve by tuning for a broader range of activities, fusing with our continually improving vision tracking capabilities, and adding additional types of tracking shots. We can’t wait to get it your hands and see what you are going to do with it!

    Great job guys! Really looking forward to getting mine to try out. I’ll hope it shows up right after i get my second battery and hard case (big smile goes here)!

  • Ditto Chuck! ???

    I’m loving the process of exploring all of SNAP’S features at the moment. The addition of a 2nd battery, beacon and hard case would be a godsend. I’m planning to invest in a Pelican case anyway!

    Having waited patiently for over 2 years for my pre-ordered Snap drone, it has still not shipped to me. Hence I find these updates on add-ons quite insulting actually. PRIORITIES.

  • it looks great! I would like to be part of the Beta program if possible. Thanks again

    Good to know keeping my iPhone 6s might be a good plan after all! Rather than prioritize on the iPhone X why not get it out to the many of us that won’t spend that kind of $ on any phone but already have an iPhone with good gps… Looking very fwd to getting the tracker!
    Well done.
