    Does the DJI Mavic Air 2 Have whatever Antenna is required to have Remote ID?

    Apparently the firmware update dropped today for the MA2 and several people have installed it with success. Its finally here :)

    Mini 4 Pro with Extended Plus batteries is OVER 249g!

    I havent had a mini since the original version, went to go look at the price and considering buying one and only happened upon the information. For those that are not in the mini space, or first time drone buyers, this could be useful information for them. I primarily use my MA2, so I was not...

    Mini 4 Pro with Extended Plus batteries is OVER 249g!

    EDIT: Ok so this may not be news to everyone, especially if you are in the mini space and seen this with last gens models, but for new drone pilots doing research online, or those of us that fly larger drones in general, we may not be aware of this. I know I wasn't because my main drone is a MA2...

    Using the larger battery, remote id?

    If you are using the extended batteries, you must register the drone. DJI really screwed up here in that they don't very clearly state that the extended plus batteries make the drone over 250 grams, but if you search way way down on the product page, you will see some small notes and asterisks...

    Mavic Air 2 RID firmware update available today

    Well hot ****, they finally did it. I thought it wasn't possible because the hardware wasn't there and that we were SOL and had to buy a module. I have held off on buying a module this entire time because not one of them seemed affordable or viable without an external power source for the...

    KPLC 7NEWS: Drone operators required to have Remote ID by Sept. 16

    So yeah, that worked! I remember before it was not giving me an option to say no, as it was just a field that required the Id number with an asterisk saying it was required or something like that. Anyways, good for another 3 years on that front at least. Thanks!

    KPLC 7NEWS: Drone operators required to have Remote ID by Sept. 16

    Thanks I will go try this right now. I tried earlier this year and don't remember seeing a no option, maybe they changed it. I'll let you know if it still works.

    KPLC 7NEWS: Drone operators required to have Remote ID by Sept. 16

    I have been waiting and waiting for something affordable for my MA2 but havent seen anything worth the money. Crap part is, I can't even renew my registration because it wants id's and crap that I don't have because nothing affordable has really come out that doesnt require some DIY ugliness. I...

    Go4 App for Mavic Air shutting down

    Running dji fly on my S20 FE 5g and S21 FE 5G right now. Both phones on Android 12. Dji has apps for this version of Android, it just requires going to their site, downloading the apk file, and installing it to the phone. Make sure you allow 3rd party apps. Why they aren't doing it in Google...

    Unregulated VLOS

    Same thoughts here. I live in the UP of Michigan. Nothing but woods upon woods up here. Some places are so remote, that it's **** near impossible to get to them by foot in winter and flying outside of VLOS is the only way. Considering we are in Canada's *** crack up here, we never have any...

    Should I put my phone number on my drone in case it gets lost?

    I have numbers on mine, but I got stickers from the reclaimdrone site that also let me put my contact info on the site and update as needed. So even though a hard coded number is on a sticker, my page on reclaimdrone allows me to update my current info should someone go to the site and enter my...

    Unregulated VLOS

    For people like me that live in very rural areas with next to no air traffic at a reasonable height a drone could reach, vlos is just dumb. I'm in the UP of Michigan, look it up and see how much wilderness Is here versus people. We are so spread out up here with so many forests, that climbing...

    Hello Everyone!
