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...

Based on comments from DJI, I understand that all Mavic Pros already have the remote ID feature built-in. Is that true? Does anyone know if there is a list of all drones that meet the requirements? I've been looking, but have not found one.

It would be insane for DJI to back this proposal. Their sales would drop like a rock if newbies understood all the new regulations they faced. I for one would never have purchased my Mavic Pro if I had known how restricting the current rules are. There are very few places to fly where I live. I...

What leads you to believe the SD cards are causing the gimbal reset?

As a former online seller, I can predict with accuracy that a significant percentage of buyers would never pay after receiving the merchandise. Once word got out that you were doing this, every scammer out there would flock to your online store and you would be out of business pretty quickly...

Cool. I've been looking for this.

I'm not sure if this will affect Mavics or not, but it could. Apparently, a bunch of GPS satellites will start to reset this weekend, which could cause GPS devices to go bonkers. Here's why your GPS could go haywire this weekend

The FAA site is very confusing for a new drone operator. I thought I was following their instructions and mistakenly registered under part 107 when I first got my drone. You guys clarified things and I went back in and registered under Section 336. Both registrations show up in my account...

Here is a good summary of HR 302
