Wow, it was there. DJI Assistant did not do this update. I started Fly App on the SC, and it offered to do a self update, and Voila! I can see the RID now on the SC!!!! Very, very happy about that. Thank you so much CaseyK for your response! 2 observations: 1 - Although the Fly App shows the...

Found my original controller and I have my MA2 RID now. Next to test if it is active when I use the SC. I hope it does because I had to remove the protective case to get my Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra to get it to fit in the controller clamp, and I just like the SC significantly more.

See this video at 6:35 Remote ID – Is Your Drone Compliant? The next hurdle to block you may be that the Smart Conroller is NOT RID compliant. Has anyone heard that an update may be coming for the original SC, or has it just become an expensive brick?

Ok, did a bit of digging on my own. This is what I found: First: This video is invaluable: It tells me the SMART CONTROLLER is NOT RID compliant. I will need to find my ORIGINAL controller, and set it up with my new phone, and this will show the RID, and allow it to be turned on. Just...

I just did the MA2 Firmware v01.01.1600 update today. This installed without a hitch. There was no update available for the Smart Controller. I did the 3 dots in the upper right corner of the fly screen, and went to ABOUT, but all I see is my serial number. No mention of RID that I can find. So...

FAA has said specifically that they have not yet started approving CBO's for this purpose: Recreational Flyers & Modeler Community-Based Organizations

This must be it?

This is due out in 2021 for under $300. It patrols your home autonomously while in the AWAY mode. It will even tell you if you left the stove on. Drones are GOOD my friends!

Had some snags doing the SC update. Finally had to turn WIFI off, unplug SD card, and then did a factory reset. It was then able to update via cable and DJI Assistant. But we are in the air now. Control is very smooth, and the big bright screen is incredible. Already hands above trying to use a...

For me it failed twice attempting to use DJI Assistant. Tried unplugging at letting the SC update itself... Now it gets INSUFFICIENT MEMORY error. I have NO MEDIA stored internally! I also have a large empty SD card.

We don't even have a soft date or even year projection, or if they are even working on it. We may all be dead by the time the update comes out for all we know. But... "it is coming".

In my opinion, your flight plan should not require an SFOC. Depending on air space restrictions, which you describe may need an RPAS Flight Authorization. I have researched the extremely strict and exclusive Transport Canada rules. Many have reported some portions of the rules are not...

I would see this copying both altitude limit and area limit described in my approved flight plan to the controller. Airmap allows me to either select a radius, or drag points to describe a rectangular or irregular shaped area. These would then be able to be copied to the controller to limit a...
