I believe that if your drone is under 250g and registered for Part 107 commercial use, you still must have/use RID even when flying recreationally. I have this issue with my Mini 2. It's registered for commercial use. RID is not internally supported so I need an external module. Of course...

On sale at Costco for $699 (+free shipping) through 12/24. Includes: 2 Extra Batteries, Battery Charger, and 128GB microSD. Drawback...it comes with the older controller that requires use of a smartphone for the display. https://www.costco.com/dji-mini-3-pro-drone-bundle.product.4000051247.html

Just forwarded the email chain to you. It will come from a different email account with the @snet.net domain in case it ends up in junk mail. If you find any of the info to be incorrect please let all of us know. Hate to think I've misled anyone based on bad info.

The document found at the link you provided does not have any questions. On page 21 of 30 it say very specifically: Central Blind Spot The area where the optic nerve connects to the retina in the back of each eye is known as the optic disk. There is a total absence of cones and rods in this...

The answer to your first question is, yes. The second one, no. You are responsible for entering the correct data and turning on the module. There are many requirements associated with being a drone pilot; maintain VLOS, fly in control, no sustained flight over people, max 400 AGL, etc. Can...

I reached out to the FAA about this because I fly both recreationally and under Part 107. You do not need RID if your non-compliant sub-250g drone is flown for recreational purposes. If that drone is also flown for Part 107 it requires RID when flying for commercial purposes. That...

Most companies only use DHL for international shipments. Could be the reason you had to provide your SS# and complete an import form. The shipment likely came from Hong Kong or possibly will need to go through Canada. Wondering if that is how they get around the Li-ion battery restrictions...

While it looks very much like water, it is snow. Not my work. Wish it was but I thought it was worth pointing it out as it is quite compelling.

7+ minutes long but worth watching the first 3 minutes, at least.

It appears that DJI has maintained and 8.3 file naming convention (8 character file name, a dot, and 3 character file type) for backward compatibility with MS-DOS FAT although I can't imagine why. Maybe it goes back to their early drones. Since the filename is created by the software in the...

This thread prompted a question...if your drones won't support internal RID do you need a separate, dedicated external module for each drone, or can you move the module from drone to drone?

https://www.costco.com/.product.4000110566.html?EMID=B2C_2023_0304_TreasureHunt Looks like it comes with 4 batteries, controller, extra props, carrying case and a few other tidbits. Is this a good deal?

This is what has most drone operators concerned. Anyone with a smartphone and the appropriate app can use it to find the remote pilot. Sub-250g and flying recreationally does not require RID (unless the drone is registered for Part 107 commercial use). Let the harassment begin.

Doesn't say "Karen proof" so I can't see what purpose it would serve.
