There are new Holy Stone Remote ID modules being sold on eBay for $42.98, shipped from China. I wonder is they are legit. https://www.ebay.com/itm/226057608223

That would be easier to swallow if there was an equivalent USA made option. I'm no big fan of China, but I keep wondering how they got so far ahead of us with drone technology. DJI will not be selling very many drones in the US until the dust settles on this. This should be a golden...

Here is the latest info. The current proposal intends to tax Chinese drones to death, then ban them in 5 years.

Okay, I read through this entire thread, plus located some articles on this topic. I'm still missing something. Is there a particular reason why Congress is targeting DJI or is this just typical political paranoia? Was DJI caught doing something? Or is this the current version of Minority...

Thanks. My family came over from Jaslo in 1902.

I suspect it's a scaled down version of the Kaaba found at the main mosque in Mecca. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaaba

Greg, which drone did you install that on? I just ordered the Holy Stone module for my Mavic Pro v1, but I don't want to block the GPS signal. I'm not sure about the best location for the module. I prefer not installing it on the battery, as some fliers suggest. Users have asked that question...

I based my assumption that the Mavic Pro was compatible on a DJI.com article that said all their drones manufactured since 2017 included Remote ID. I can't find it now, so they may have taken it down while waiting for the final rules. Then there is this...

Thanks for all the responses. That clarifies the issues. To answer the questions: Yes, I'm sure the serial number is correct. Yes, I was at the FAA site, not a 3rd party. FAADroneZone I'm aware of the scams. Here is what it says on the Recreational Flyer Dashboard FAA Notice On January...

Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, I am checking that. From everything I've read, the Mavic Pro meets the requirements for Remote ID. Leave it up to the FAA bureaucrats to include a legitimate question that disqualifies the registration. My recreational license does not actually expire for a...

I went to the FAA site today to renew my Recreational Flyer license. The new rules for Remote ID require that each drone be registered and you have to register at least one "Device" before you can complete the renewal. I tried to register my DJI Mavic Pro, but I cannot complete the registration...

If there were 100+ people in a national park flying drones simultaneously, it would indeed be annoying, even in a large park. A more reasonable compromise might be to allow a very limited number of total drone pilots to fly per day, perhaps 3 to 5, with a special permit that requires a pilot to...

I'm speculating, but I suspect Remote ID will be in the final version of the new rules. I hope the subscription services and other idiotic proposals will not be in there. Thanks everyone for the responses regarding the Go 4 app.

I made the mistake of focusing on finding the best drone for my needs. I did not dig into rules and restrictions. I selected the Mavic Pro. My original intention was to use it on hiking trips into the Superstition Mountains. Guess what? The Superstitions are a designated wilderness area. No...
