All DJI drones have the required antennas needed to transmit Remote ID data. However, only the drones on this list have been approved by the FAA.Does the DJI Mavic 2 Pro Have whatever Antenna is required to have Remote ID?
Yes. Remote ID can be implemented as a custom data packet going over the Wi-Fi frequencies. The hardware is already in place to support that.Hello, Does the DJI Mavic 2 Pro Have whatever Antenna is required to have Remote ID?
Extremely Disappointing to see that my Mavic 2 Pro will have Tracking updated to it. Thanks for the help.This should answer your questions.
Remote ID Statement (07/01/2023)
DJI, the global leader in civilian drones and creative camera technology, is dedicated to providing our valued customers with important updates regarding compliance with the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA)remote identification (remote ID) regulation. Remote ID refers to a drone's...forum.dji.com
What's disappointing about that? You now won't have to purchase and attach an external RID transmitter.Extremely Disappointing to see that my Mavic 2 Pro will have Tracking updated to it
I guess you don't have to do the RID firmware update when it comes out. But I don't see it as a bad thing since you won't need to buy an external RID module. I see that as a plus, not a disappointing thing. But that's just me.Extremely Disappointing to see that my Mavic 2 Pro will have Tracking updated to it. Thanks for the help.
I can't speak for the poster but from what I read in other places and from what I've heard thru various YT rants, people who want to continue to fly their drones "anonymously" will stand a better chance to go ahead and fly and ask for forgiveness later if their particular drone does not offer standard RID. I think there are many people who plan to say they looked everywhere and cannot find a [affordable] compatible broadcast module so they at least "made an effort."I guess you don't have to do the RID firmware update when it comes out.

That's right, I always forget about the tinfoil hat bunch out there that never found a conspiracy theory they couldn't latch onto.I can't speak for the poster but from what I read in other places and from what I've heard thru various YT rants, people who want to continue to fly their drones "anonymously" will stand a better chance to go ahead and fly and ask for forgiveness later if their particular drone does not offer standard RID.

Look at it this way, to fly legally your Mavic 2 has to be registered under your [recreational] account. Today, you can click NO in the RID box and keep flying. On September 16, nothing in the database changes for you so technically your registration remains valid. However, when December 31 arrives and standard RID is made available, all recreational Mavic 2 registrations will need to create a new entry in their inventory and apparently will need to be marked YES for RID and include the RID# (standard or broadcast) and remove the old entry.
We don't know for sure if the Mavic 2 will continue to fly on old sw when the new sw is available. If you have the option not to update and you can still fly and do so without broadcast module, technically your [NO] registration is invalid. Flying without a valid registration is risky, flying without RID....not so much. Will the FAA database actually work this way or enforce this effort? Probably not. Rogue flyers are depending on it.

Ugh - I'll be happy just sticking to using my DroneTag BS RID module, what if that DJI M2P RID update makes serious FW changes including a new SDK that disables Litchi and other aftermarket control programs?
Bingo! That's exactly why I'll be using my the Drone Tag Beacon for my UAS operations.Ugh - I'll be happy just sticking to using my DroneTag BS RID module, what if that DJI M2P RID update makes serious FW changes including a new SDK that disables Litchi and other aftermarket control programs?
Is that even a thing? The point of the SDK is to allow 3rd parties to access the aircraft hardware. If DJI accidentally did break the functionality though, I don't think Litchi and others would upgrade to that version of the SDK until those bugs have been resolved.what if that DJI M2P RID update makes serious FW changes including a new SDK that disables Litchi and other aftermarket control programs?
Yeah but look what they did with the Mavic 3 SDK’s…. All locked up unless you want an enterprise version.Is that even a thing?

QueenAng,Hello, Does the DJI Mavic 2 Pro Have whatever Antenna is required to have Remote ID?
Unfortunately I can no longer point anyone to the government list since it is not correct and inaccurate. I think if something happens to show up on the list then it is likely true but just because your drone or your S/N cannot be found in the list doesn't mean it doesn't have RID.QueenAng,
The FAA list is pretty dynamic and the list of current compliance for drones is constantly changing. The list will show compliant drones with built in RID as well as certified add on compliance devices. You can find the document in the following link to FAA site. You can search your aircraft by MFG. If it's not here it's NOT compliant. UAS Declaration of Compliance
I'm not one to trust websites so I go to source. You will also need this RID serial number to do next step which is register / update registration with FAA . I hope that helps. However, if your less than 250grams there are some exceptions to RID depending on if you registered.
Is it truly inaccurate? Or is there maybe some kind of manual filing process involving people on both sides (DJI & FAA) that might cause some delays for newly released aircraft to get added?Unfortunately I can no longer point anyone to the government list since it is not correct and inaccurate
It's inaccurate from the standpoint that the users (the public) cannot use the information they need from it. We deserve an accurate list even if that means "Pending" status is added.

As for the list in general, I don't think it matters if the drone is on that list as long as it's capable of transmitting RID data.
So, did the FAA drop the ball or did DJI maybe not file the necessary paperwork to get on that list? Whatever the case, I don't think it's the FAA's job to hunt down all drone manufacturers and figure out which models are missing from their list.It's inaccurate from the standpoint that the users (the public) cannot use the information they need from it.

Agreed. And I don't think the general public knows RID is a thing and the FAA maintains that list either. And if they did, they could Google "is the dji air 3 rid compliant" and find that answer in several seconds.I think we all know the Air 3 just launched but how does the general public know that?
Sounds like a perfect opportunity for DJI to print that on the exterior of the Air 3 box. They don't seem to mention it anywhere... not even in the Air 3 manual.There could be someone standing at a register in Best Buy trying to make an Air 3 purchase decision
