@@PilotInstitute Have you tested this as in, out of the box, unregistered, does it broadcast RID as evidenced by one of the drone tracking apps? There seems to be multiple opinions on this, but nobody seems to be able to say, yes, I tested this and this is the behavior on this. 51 drones says he does not 'believe' dji broadcasts RID for unregistered sub250 drones but has not tested this on the mini 3/4. Alien Drones said, after that recent interview video with the FAA, that the FAA is not requiring this of manufacturers (that manufacturers must enforce RID broadcast even when it's not legally required as is the case for unregistered sub 250 gram drones flown recreationally). If the FAA did have this requirement then that would render the unregistered, sub 250 gram recreational exemption effectively non existent going forward as all sub 250 drones could be flown with extra weight and/or under 107. Would this not be the FAA acting beyond the authority of its published, final rule which puts in place this exemption? I have heard some say that since DJI does not know if the drone will be flown under 107, or over 250, they always have to broadcast RID. Two thoughts here: first, they certainly know if registration info has been entered and that is what RID is supposed to be tied to; second, is it really required, based on the published rule, of manufacturers to enforce the rules or merely to supply drone compliant products which does not mean they have to force RID broadcast when it is not required. I understand the tamper proof aspect, but is it really interpreted to mean RID broadcast must be 'turned on' even when not required, or does it mean for sub 250 drones that if you enter registration info you can not turn off RID? I have not heard anyone say explicitly that they have tested this with an unregistered (never been registered) mini 3 or mini 4 to see what the behavior is. 1) Do you have any info if this has actually been tested and what the results are? 2) If DJI is forcing broadcast of RID for unregistered mini 3/4, why? Is it really the case that the FAA is requiring this or are they doing this on their own?

The cross stick command to turn off the motors is a pro-level safety feature and has been available on DJI drones from the early days. It is the only way to shut down the drone instantly in case it is going to contact a person or object, for example. I have never seen any legitimate use of the cross stick combination for any other reason when flying or filming. So, someone was likely goofing around and sadly it was operator error that took our your cine. I'm certainly open to an explanation of how the cross stick combination can be used if you have any?

Hey Greg, regarding "AirSense" - My Mini-3 Pro with the RC controller will absolutely pop up a message on the controller when another aircraft is detected nearby, in real-time, even if not connected to the internet, so it's picking up something directly regarding this. So are you saying this really isn't AirSense, but a lesser feature? It does not give the location of the aircraft, or altitude, etc. just that an aircraft is detected in the area. Living in an area with a nearby airport and lots of tourist-related air traffic, I see it quite often when flying!

Hello, to provide a correction for the battery information: the Mini 4 Pro and the Mini 3/3 Pro Pro batteries are compatible, but not identical in standard size. 4 batteries are 2590 mAh at 77.9g, and 3 batteries are 2453 mAh at 80.5g. The 251g weight observed was likely a measurement with the Mini 3 Pro battery inserted into a Mini 4 Pro, which puts it overweight. When inserted with the correct batteries, I have weighed my Mini 4 Pro at 249g even. The Plus battery is identical and not redesigned. 3850 mAh, 121g, total energy 28.4 Wh (up from the standard 18.96 Wh 4 series battery and 18.1 Wh 3 series battery). The drop in flight time is mostly due to increased onboard processing, as well as slightly different flight dynamics and sensors. By the way, the aircraft, like other DJI craft, broadcasts Remote ID even when it is underweight. Buyers looking to turn off Remote ID should look outside the DJI ecosystem or at older DJI drones before the introduction of Remote ID across the board.

Thanks for the solid review. I have read that the Mini 4 Pro is limited to 120m (393 ft) to be compliant with the "C0" European classification. Obviously, here in the US if you have a part 107 license, you can go up to 400 ft AGL which can require the drone to be higher than 400 ft from the point of take-off. Thanks to your class I got all those questions correct on the part 107 exam :-). Can you confirm that the mini 4 pro max altitude is higher than 120m - I think the mini 3 pro allows up to 500m?
@aleckson10 ай бұрын
Max take-off altitude is 4000m. How high you go after take off is user set in the menu. Most people set it to 400ft to avoid having the drone fly higher than that, but you can adjust that on the fly or turn it off completely if you are going to manage your altitude manually, such as you might want to do if you're flying on the side of a mountain where the launch point altitude is irrelevant to where you're actually flying.

Could you say some more about why you believe DJI "by law" has to be remote id compliant and by that do you mean it always has to broadcast even when it's not required (e.g. under 250, unregistered, flown recreationally). Keep in mind, all drones can be flown with added weight whether with different options (e.g. plus battery) or other third party things attached, or under 107. Thus all drones presumably must be compliant. However, I do not believe, and neither does Alien Drones, that the FAA requires DJI to always broadcast, even when not required. If they do that completely eliminates the sub 250, unregistered, recreational exception for 'store bought' drones. By law there is supposed to be such an exemption, or do I have that wrong? This is about the time the tamper proof reference, or make it so the operator can not disable rid, comes up. Is that meant to mean that any drone that might possibly be flown such that registration and rid is required (thus any and all drones) must always broadcast rid, or does it mean that if and only if the drone is registered then it must broadcast rid and the operator should not be able to disable it? RID is supposed to be tied to registration I thought. I presume you verified RID broadcast after you entered registration info into the drone as I presume you flew it under 107. I have been very curious if anyone has tested the 'out of the box' RID broadcast of an unregistered (never been registered) mini 4. While I am not convinced that the FAA is or should be forcing RID broadcast when not required, assuming they are not, it may well be that DJI is forcing this on their own but can not seem to verify.
