Remote ID modules

[puterami]

Newbie here.
Picked up a used MP Sunday with the protective film still on most of the stuff (bad battery, of course). Passed the TRUST and registered as a recreational flyer.
Now I see that a March date is looming for Remote ID. In reading here, I see that the Platinum used to be on the FAA's list, but it is now rescinded. So I am not sure if the MP will ever be RID'ed with a firmware update (not holding my breath).
Has anyone looked at ID modules to place onto the drone? Any experiences to share? Just trying to research for a bit so that I can make a decision.

It seems that the Drontag Beacon and Holy Stone are the most popular now.

I agree. Holy Stone keeps popping up the most.
Just another thing that wants to take my money. Thanks!

Highly recommend the Holy Stone. Small and least expensive.
Be careful where you place it on the Mavic Pro v1. So many ideas posted on the forum. I decided to put it on the back of the battery so all lights show. Will have to switch it to the next battery. Not that big of a deal.

Food for thought and keep in mind I'm Old School . . .

I always try to avoid attaching ANYTHING to the top of the Aircraft. Should a mount/velcro/tape fail you now have something "loose" in very close proximity to the spinning rotors. I have anything "removable" on the back or bottom or arm of the aircraft so if it becomes "detached" it should fall AWAY from the aircraft and the spinning rotors.
Just my 2 cents . . .

I'm old school too..pushing 79. Do not use the velcro supplied with Holy Stone. I bought some really good velcro in a roll. Just snip it off and it sticks on. The RID will not come off and if on the battery, it will not interfer with GPS or antennas.

Excellent points since I was wondering where to atttach it. I ordered a couple of batteries. The thought about buying better velcro is a good one. Hadn't thought about the props if something comes away.

Thanks so much for these points.

I have a Mavic Mini. Does anyone out there know where I should mount the Holy Stone RID?

Thank you. With the link you sent me, it looks like it should go over the battery thus no GPS interferance.
