I can confirm the following: 1. Today (December 6), the FAA added DJI Mavic 2 Pro as an approved RID-compliant device to its list. 2. Today, I successfully re-listed my drone with my RID serial number on FAA Drone Zone as a recreational flyer. 3. As part of my re-listing, I found it necessary...

Here is the FAA's response overnight to my request for clarification. Seems inconsistent to what has just been posted by Sam36401. "While DJI may have pushed a remote ID firmware update to its customers, DJI has not submitted a remote ID declaration of compliance to the FAA as required by 14...

Contrary to what you have read recently, the DJI Mavic 2 Pro is not compliant with FAA's RID regulations. Here is a response that I just received from the FAA this morning. "While DJI may have pushed a remote ID firmware update to its customers, DJI has not submitted a remote ID declaration of...

Over the last few days, it appears that I have downloaded all of the updates for firmware and software. To find what updates you have, I suggest the following on the "Smart Controller": 1. Once DJI Go 4 app is opened, go to the upper right corner for the 3 dots. 2. Click on the 3 dots to...

Photo #1 is very good. Photo #2 is spectacular. Great work.

Well and simply stated. Thank you from all of us who live in residential communities.

Drone pilots are viewed as an "invasive species", comparable to spies. Until that perception changes, you can anticipate "more", not "less" restrictions.

RE: Is there any difference between Mavic 1\2\3 in terms of stability (especially in low height)? As for stability, I have flown a Mavic 2 Pro over the north coast of Maui, Hawaii several times over the last three years. Stunning, reliable performance despite gusty winds exceeding 40mph. I'm...

Perfect. I just added two copies to my tool bag. Thank you.

In a single word, "Spectacular". Twice, I visited Crawford Notch; both times pre-drone ownership. As a follow-up to your outstanding photo, I plan to add Smuggler's Notch to my personal bucket list.

Unaware of a new issue, I was surprised yesterday to see the Mavic 3 Classic at a Best Buy store in Coeur d'Alene Idaho.

I waited too long. New shipment arrived at B&H and the price jumped to $339. Still ordered it anyway.

Thank you to Ty Pilot and other very helpful fliers on this forum. As I was preparing two copies of the many suggestions on this particular post, I just learned today that Advisory Circular 91-57B was just cancelled on October 20, 2022. It has been replaced in its entirety by Advisory Circular...

Same boat. Thank you for the lifesaver.

Others have noted that the Canadian special permit/license is limited to one event only. Totally unpractical for a US citizen who wants to visit multiple locations. I plan to sell my Yuneec Typhoon H drone, and buy a lighter drone to avoid those complications in most countries.
