That's great! Thanks for the interest and willing to give it a try. I think you will really like them. They really do work well and are designed to be a reliable tool, not just a novelty. The twist-lock idea is a good one, however, it requires a second piece that mounts to the disc which can...

Yea, I think very early on we were thinking this would need to be the price based on early manufacturing estimates, but we were able to reduce some of the costs. We hope that we are in the right ballpark with the pricing. We want to to be affordable for everyone.

Street price will be around $18-$20, not $29.95. Retail is $23.99 but minimum advertised price is $17.99. Also, the switch is IP67 rated which means that it is dust tight, and submersible for 1 meter for 30 minutes. It also requires 550 grams of force to activate so that sticks and rocks dont...

Matthew that is a really cool idea! Yea, a lot of people I have talked to have had the same idea. I first had the idea back in 2009 after throwing and never finding a $20 disc. I knew exactly where it went but the grass was too tall to find it. After talking to people, I am by far not the first...

We have been experimenting with many different styles of removable fasteners and we hope to release a removable version soon. The challenge has been designing a robust fastener that does not add much if any additional weight. We have a prototype right now that we are testing that adds 1 gram of...

They are in production right now. We will have a limited number available at this end of the month, most of which are already spoken for. The remainder of the shipment should land around the end of July. We do not have any injection molded beepers yet that we can take pictures of. If you have...

I am the engineer behind the disc beeper and we can make a 4 gram beeper. The first prototypes were of this size, but the battery was not adequate enough to produce a loud enough sound to be usable and would only last for about half an hour. So the limiting factor is the battery technology at...

Disc Beeper I am the engineer behind the design for the disc beeper. I have let numerous people throw discs with and without the beeper attached. These mount exactly in the center of the disc and the weight is evenly distributed around the center of rotation. Most people honestly can not tell a...

I got tired of loosing discs a few years ago too, and I love building electronic devices so I looked into this. The simplest solution for the money seems to be a beeper. Take a look at beepdisc.com where I have some photos and specs on the beeper I am working on. It should go into production in...

I had this idea a couple years ago after loosing my disk. This is the beeper I have come up with. It is 6 grams. It has a rechargeable battery that charges off USB from a computer in less than 30 min. It is plenty loud. It stays on the disk. I cant tell that it is on my disc when I use it. It is...
