Mavic Pro RID

[kpmac]

Is there a firmware update to make the original Mavic Pro RID compliant? I can't seem to find this info.

"Old" drones are not likely to get inbuilt RID emission via software update, although any drone compatible with Aeroscope (all DJI drones basically) are more than able than emit RID.

It's just a marketing movement, a sort of programmed obsolescence to force everyone to pick the newer drones.







There you can see the Mavic Pro Platinum is rescinded, so that's it. Unless people start to cry on the official DJI forum, those old drones will not come with inbuild RID... which is not that bad.

You can pick the worst RID emitter from the market, stick it to the drone, turn it on, and you are compliant with RID, but your crappy RID emitter is super laggy and don't have enough range or power for anyone to pick the signal... what a pitty

If your drone is RID compliant from factory, that RID emission can be picked from at least 3.5Km as long as there is line of sight with the drone.
