Why would I make this up? I'm not posting the serial number on a public forum but I'd be happy to share what my drone scanner APP finds every time I fire her up through a private channel. LMK

I DID NOT.

Not my Mini 5 Pro. It broadcasts RID even with the standard Mini 5 Pro battery. DJI is BSing when they say otherwise.

Just got a refurbished Air 2 Fly more combo that looks brand new. Can someone tell me what was the last firmware number before RID was added? My drone scanner app doesn't see the drone when it's flown so I assume it's older firmware in the drone. Thank you!

Yes, the standard battery. You can set the top speed in normal mode up to 33.6 mph. I tweaked it back to a little over 29 mph.

In my second test with the 5 Pro, I dialed back the top speed in normal mode to 29mph. This drone is substantially quicker than the Mini 4 Pro. Sent her off with cruise control enabled. Very light wind, sunny and about 70 degrees. No hover time. Ran her down to 2% for a total flight time of...

Will try to replicate the same test tomorrow with my Mini 4 Pro.

Just did a quick battery test with my 5Pro with the standard battery. Weather conditions were good: sunny, very light wind, temperature about 70 degrees. Ran the battery fully charged (100%) to well depleted (8%). Put her in normal mode, cruise control on, brought her back to hover for half the...

Not really trying to convince anyone else. After 25+ drones and counting, I know what I see. Blurry picture and terrible battery life= return to sender.

Actually after testing a few times, and to make sure I had the focusing correct, I'm very disappointed in the picture. It's very very soft and almost looks like 1080p. What Gives?

Nope, only the battery it came with. Unit scaled in at 252 grams. Drone scanner APP picked it up and I've seen some YouTube videos showing Drone scanner APP picking up other Mini 5 Pros using the standard battery. Even DJI tech support wasn't sure. They obviously stretched the truth with regard...

This drones does emit RID regardless of the battery you use. And since it does emit all the time, do we now have to register it? I'm on the FAA's radar so I will probably have to return the drone. What a shame. And DJI must know this

Talking to DJI tech support right now and they insist that RID DOES NOT get broadcast using the standard 5 Pro battery. Is the "drone scanner" app detecting something else?? The FAA is really clamping down on people who break the 400ft. altitude ceiling.

And "Dronescanner" App did pick her up using the standard 5 Pro battery

Just got my Mini5 Pro in. Using a really good scale, she came in at 252 grams. No let's see if she emits RID
