Can you register your Mini 5 Pro with FAA?

[GadgetGuy]

If the drone is under 250g, I aint reg nothin....

The real stickler is that even sub 250g Mini 5 Pro units, if any exist, will still broadcast RID unnecessarily!

I got my M5P (Mini 5 Pro) from England. Registered with the FAA with no problem.

Apparently you can't register the ones which are included in the battery Plus combo kit but the ones included in the other kits can be registered?

WTF does that mean?

This is what happens when the manufacturer pulls out of the market and has no control over the message leaving it up to all kinds of people to make unfounded representations and claim from FCC to weights to RID and now....registration. Are they trying to steer people away from this sku?

Or......

Maybe the "opened and activated" kits this particular vendor is selling to the American public are re-packaged with drones inside that cannot be registered with the FAA because they are outside the serial number range perhaps? This is why you don't go with unknown sources because who wants an overweight M5P with RID which must be registered but can't with standard RID.

This is why you can't necessarily believe everything you read on the internet. If it means anything, my M5P drone from the Plus kit (purchase in S. Korea) is successfully registered with the FAA using a serial number within the approved range according to the FAA RID DoC: 1581F9DE000000000000 - 1581F9DEZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Also what is this? Mini 5 Pro Drone w/ Enhanced Video Transmission

I registered my m5p back in early October when I got my drone then. First thing I did! Added it ti my existing reg on my drones.

I guess we now know what this means.

Apparently there are Mini 5 Pro drones with a new UPC and new range of serial numbers which are not included in the FAA DoC and therefore cannot be registered in the FAA database (rejected because it's a different prefix which means DJI need to update their submission).

Instead of 1581F9DE000000000000-1581F9DEZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Someone got one of these: 1581FAxx000000000000+

I am seeing and hearing this more and more lately with drones with a 09/25 manufacturing date code and sadly, these are PLUS drones which means you don't have much of a choice unless you find a standard battery and "fake it."

Another lousy M5P story.

I bought a m5p+ combo in Hong Kong a month ago and now back in the US I was able to register it to my existing FAA account along with a Mavic 4 Pro. Guess I'm lucky with these new developments.
