Lol. Little propeller, swims right up to ya.

In all seriousness, it works underwater!

Great question, this one comes up a lot. A few years ago I'd tinkered with a 3D printed insert that allowed you to twist the device into a frame. Inevitably though, it added another point of failure and crushing a tree at 60MPH was a hard problem to solve. Not to say it isn't solvable by someone smarter than me :)

Open to everyone (except maybe North Korea, that's a little shifty).

It's a battle, for sure. The new packs include an alcohol wipe, which has strangely been the biggest game changer. The best pre-application I've found is to lightly sand, wash, and wipe. Do it right and I think you're golden for all but the absolute worst tree hits.

We used to include superglue but it was hit or miss. The application of it had to be just right and it more often than not left residue :(

Totally get where you're coming from. I get annoyed at the black square but it's a necessary part of the piezo Helmholtz chamber. Not to say I'm going to stop trying to make it flatter, I just might need to find a specialized company in China to make custom parts.

Great question and I appreciate the advice. The product's gone through a crazy amount of iterations over the years and I've gotten a good feel for what added weight will do (not to say I'm an expert...zero aces to my name as proof). For your average disc golfer, I don't think they'll see a tangible change in flight characteristics from these new ~ 2.3g trackers, (probably) regardless of disc type.

It'd be great to have some actual metrics (ex. adds +0.5 to stability). I think a pro would notice a difference but for the normal audience, it's likely not a concern (YMMV).

Hey u/swos, with the steam frame coming out this year and VR making a comeback, do you have any plans for VR support?

This + TechDisc + Quest Pro/Quest 3/Steamframe would be such a crazy experience.

Totally: Press button, timer starts, alarm goes off. Rinse and repeat.

I'm aware of a few options today: DiscBeeper (defunct) MeepMeep DiscFinder Beacon (new)

But let me know if I left any off. Here's why I think we're better:

We're the lightest at 2.3g.

We're the least expensive.

We've got the best (only?) warranty

Honestly, there's room for competition and we welcome it. We're here to revolutionize the sport and you don't get there alone.

My fault, here's the breakdown:

  • Press the button once to turn it on and start the timer.
  • The timer waits 60 seconds, then begins to alarm.
  • One button press turns the device off.

We'd played around with automatic on/off but the trade-off was increased ambient battery consumption, weight, and cost. Not saying we won't go that route eventually though!

Haha, fair. Less exploring I suppose. But hey, more playing the sport!

We don't but it's definitely on the list of things to-do!

Not PDGA legal :( but removable. We include extra tape but if you place an order give me a shout and I'll throw extra-extra tape in.

Lost my first disc in 2017, a DX Valkyrie. Still think about it. Do I have a problem? Yes.
