VIFLY GPS-mate: The Ultimate GPS Power Module for Drone Pilots
Most drone pilots encounter common issues when using GPS modules with their drones. Standard GPS modules are often slow, suffer from interference, and can take minutes to achieve a GPS fix. This long wait drains your battery, introduces interference, and can even lead to overheating of key components. Furthermore, when you switch your drone's battery after a flight cycle, the GPS module must perform a hot-start fix all over again. This adds more frustration and wasted time to your flying experience.
We designed the VIFLY GPS-mate to eliminate these problems by offering an external GPS power module that allows for continuous GPS power without disrupting your flight operations.
Why Choose the VIFLY GPS-mate?
The VIFLY GPS-mate is an external GPS power module that keeps your GPS powered continuously throughout your flight session. With a simple switch, you can power on just the GPS module while keeping the drone itself off. This means you can achieve a GPS fix before powering your drone, saving valuable battery life and preventing interference. Once the fix is completed, you can turn on the drone, which will then power up while recharging the GPS-mate battery at the same time. The GPS stays powered throughout your session, eliminating the need for repeated GPS fixes.
Key Benefits of the VIFLY GPS-mate
- No More Delays: Start your flights faster by eliminating the long wait times for GPS fixes.
- Reduced Battery Drain: Keep only the GPS module powered, saving your main battery for actual flight time.
- Prevent Overheating: Avoid overheating issues by reducing the power load on your drone components during GPS initialization.
- Continuous GPS Power: The GPS stays on, ensuring you don't need to reconnect or wait for another GPS fix after a battery change.
Bonus Feature: Built-in VIFLY Finder 2 Buzzer
The VIFLY GPS-mate also includes a built-in VIFLY Finder 2 functionality. This buzzer can operate as a standard buzzer controlled via your radio when the drone battery is connected. It can also function as a standalone buzzer, helping you locate your drone if the main battery has been ejected. A valuable safety feature that ensures you never lose your drone, even in tough flying conditions.
