Remote ID coming soon for Mini 2???

[Mavic Merrick]

So guys currently the MM2 does not have RID but it may soon with how things are looking. Yesterday, there was a software update available so I did it and it said that it now has Japanese RID. Hopefully this is coming soon for the US and the rest of the world. I was worried I would have to get a new drone once RID was strictly required but may just require a software update. Post your thoughts…

I thought I saw RID somewhere in the Mini 2 settings. The button was grayed-out, so I think a software update would turn it on.

There is a identification feature on it already but it is not the approved kind.

The specifications for RID in the US haven't been spelled out yet, that is for Japanese RID. It's probably grayed out since you're not in Japan.

I would like to see the RID enabled in the Mini 2. I know it's not required, but I think we could have a lot of fun with it.

Since there would be no legal requirements for it to actually send out our FAA registration Number (I have one…), we could send out a message…

The proposed information that the RID would include is the Drone ID (FAA Registration Number), the Drone's Location and Altitude, the Drone's Velocity, its Takeoff Location and Elevation, and a Time Mark. Since everything but the ID is Drone's time and place specific, this information probably cannot be fudged; but the FAA Number which is User Entered could use the characters to send a message, like: "Eat at Joe's" or "Go Army" or even "Go Away!!!"

My Smartphone's Hotspot (tether) SSID The network's ID is "NSA-Surveillance" and I have a lot of fun with that at Starbuck's FREE WiFi sites…

DJI Fly App 1.6.6

Did an update of DJI Fly App 1.6.6 on my Android and there was the new that I could fill in the UAS Remote identification number, and also did an update on an iOS device with the new DJI Fly App 1.6.6 and there is nothing to fill in UAS Remote identification number ?? Is there a bug in the iOS...

Exactly! Or, “Hi Karen hope you aware that it is a felony to shoot down a drone”

Okay, one stupid question: Mavic Merrick was discussing an MM2. I would take it that meant a Mavic Mini2. Everything here seems to identify as MAVIC, which I take it is a line of drones from DJI. Being a DJI Mini2 pilot, I sometimes feel I'm in the wrong place.

 

[Mavic Merrick]

I know it is confusing but MM2 is the general tag for Mini 2. The reason for this is because M2 usually refers to Mavic 2 (pro or zoom)

MAVIC, which I take it is a line of drones from DJI

If this was Christmas, I would say, "Yes Virginia, there is a Santa..." But it's not and you're Kenneth, so I just say, Yes Kenneth, the Mavic Series is a line of Drones by DJI... Just to lightly touch on the Mavic Series…. There is the Mini 3 Pro, Mini 2, Mavic Mini SE, Air 2S, Mavic Air 2, Mavic Air, Mavic 3, Mavic 2 Pro, Mavic 2 Zoom, Mavic Pro Platinum, and I may even have left a few models out (no ill intentions intended…). And then there is the Phantom Series and there are numerous versions, each with its own upgraded capabilities…

Yesterday it came out for the 2s as well the japanese RID

Has anyone heard if the Mini 2 will be able to be RID compliant in the US with firmware updates? I am part 107 certified and really enjoy flying the Mini 2. I hope to be able to still use this drone once 2023 comes.
