The smallest Remote ID Module options for Drones

[@dronetag]

Hello Ken and Keith, thanks a lot for selecting our product for independent review, we appreciate your thoughts & feedback! I would like to just point out one thing regarding the pilot location you mentioned. In your video, it is not broadcasting the pilot position because the Dronetag Beacon wasn't in an in-flight state (airborne). The Drone Scanner app shows it is grounded, which means you had all three LEDs green instead of blinking white. The ability to start/pause flights is one of the features for pilots when they are, for example, exchanging the batteries but still want to have the flights logged. Looking forward to your future content! Cheers

[@CousinSchultz]

Awesome to know that you can attach the module and take off with the R-ID module not broadcast pilot location. That "feature" alone makes it worth the extra money!

[@Joe-wk9ow]

I still don't think the pilot location should be publicly accessible. I understand law enforcement needing to find the pilot but what do we do if someone comes up to us with ill intent? Seeing where the drone is and the FAA tracking number should be enough to file a complaint to the FAA as they know who everyone is. I know it's not your fault and you don't make the rules. Perhaps you should have a help button in the app if you see someone approaching you looking to cause them trouble that can send an SOS out to law enforcement.

[@CrawlersCampRc]

​@@Joe-wk9ow agree this information should not be broadcasted to general public.

[@TheDronzDr]

Ken it’s a damn shame that the lobbyist for us hasn’t done a damn thing with this drone remote issue. All the money that people have paid for their drones. and now that I am more money, just to fly and let them know all the information about you and your drone 😢

[@Xplicit_fpv]

[@raizdesuenos]

What are your personal feelings about this guys? I believe that if they are going to have so much oversight, they should give people an "out." For instance, if they allow you to get licenses for vlos or fpv flight remote id wouldn't be so bad. As it is now its waaay to much oversight. It'll be illegal to fly you dji fpv by yourself in your own backyard. Or fly your mavic three more than 300 meters out.

If it was $20-30 usd, and under 20g I might would get and use it. However costing as much as the frame itself and on top of that weighing as much as they do, I have to be honest, none of my quads will have one and probably not even my larger craft will. I have always flown safe and will continue to do so but, there is already to many laws strangling our ability to happiness and liberty. Sad thing is the pilot location is going to cause problems with distracted pilots because some yahoo followed the app and confronts the pilot.

[@metoo3918]

That swing set was crying out for help. Great video.

[@CousinSchultz]

For part 107 registration: If someone registered a DJI mini drone that does not have standard remote ID and weighs less than 250 grams pre 9/16/23, the drone will clearly weigh more than 250 grams with either of these R-ID modules attached. Obviously the registration weight is tied to the take off weight of the aircraft. Hopefully the FAA registration page accounts for this and allows us to move the once under 250 grams drone over to the more than 250 grams weight class. Also, I highly suspect adding additional weight is going to negatively impact the performance and center of gravity of every aircraft a R-ID module is attached to. This will ultimately make every aircraft with an R-ID module attached LESS SAFE. Way to go FAA...so much for safety first!

[@kingisrael1532]

This is why the 250 gram goes out the door for all models made before the Mini 3 Pro and Mini 3. What baffles me is that with modern day technology your phone can already be tracked number 1. Number 2 a simple update can rectify all the shenanigans. This is just another way to dig into our pockets the ones who truly love the craft. I bet if kite flyers which are under 250 were to tie a camera to their kites they'll be fixin to find a way to exploit that also I'm sure.

[@CousinSchultz]

@@kingisrael1532 Yeah, it is a total joke and not in a funny way! I am simply going to unregister my commercial drones that are less than 250 grams and will only fly them recreationally moving forward. There is no way that I am going to stick a module on a mini and make it unsafe by messing with its center of gravity and overall performance. I'll take the money I would have spent on a module and put it towards a drone that has standard R-ID built in. Of course I will only do this when R-ID becomes required. I am still holding my breath in hopes that the 9/16/23 date gets pushed. With the FRIA situation, I do not see how they could possibly stick to the current date.

[@brucekempf4648]

Hi Ken- Can you please consider doing a review on the Holy Stone Remote ID module? It’s selling on Amazon for $78.99 and it’s 13.9g small size

[@rudedogfpv]

[@UnwittingGenius]

I’ll just 3D print a little cube and stick a led light in it and point at that if asked and say it’s my beacon. What, you can’t detect it? I thought it was working, the light is on.

[@smirkingguru]

Maybe, the police who most likely don't even know or understand FAA regulations, should have to broadcast their position when setting up speed traps or using illegal No-Knock warrants etc.

[@Sek101]

I'd like to see a module that uses a lipo's balance connector for power (if that type of design would be compliant). Don't think a Remote ID module should cost more than about $30.

[@thomasesparza9175]

One important aspect left out in this review was the expected "battery life" of the two devices. The DroneTag Beacon has a longer life per the module specifications, 8-16 hours (depending on the configuration) vs. 3 hours for the BlueMark DB120.

Ken, great video! I have watched it several times. Where did you attach the Dronetag Beacon to the Phantom? This whole RID thing bothers me but due to my business I must comply. I have 2 P4P's and a P4A. I asked DJI where did they suggest I place the beacon and they told me to consult with the FAA on where to place it so to not have a loss of GPS signal. I wrote them back and told them the FAA would have no idea where I should place it and since they built the drone they should be able to advise. That was this morning so I am waiting to hear back.

[@KenHeron]

Attach it low on one of the legs. You should be good.

Hey Ken, I have a question or two. I'm enjoying DJI Goggles 2, DJI RC2, Avata and Nazgul Evoque with O3 AU. Do I still have to rebind the RC2 to the AU after switching from the Avata? PITA!! Also, any suggestions on turning off RSSI lost beeper in Betaflight? My Nazgul beeps like crazy until the AU connect to RC2. 20-30 seconds every time I switch batteries. I've tried turning off the RSSI Lost beeper switch in BF but that didn't fix it. Love your channel! Thanks.

[@maddercat]

Those things cost more than my reciever/vtx/camera/fc/gps module combined, and probably weighs about as much as well, nawp. Not happening until it's at least 1/4 that price and weight and can be powered off my fc/battery.

[@iowaarmory3568]

If I attach that to my 249 drone, that will excede the weights and I will need to register it......

[@CousinSchultz]

If you never fly using part 107 rules, you never need to register a drone that weighs less than 250 grams. If you never need to register the drone, then you have no need for R-ID.

[@kingisrael1532]

And this is what they don't understand!!! 250 gram goes out the door🤦🏾‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️ and on top of that they want you to pay them for a device that clearly changes the flying capabilities of your drone, any weight does, let alone adding the strobe light. Bye bye 250 gram.

Hey Ken, if a drone is tethered to the ground does part 107 and remote ID requirements still apply? I am a home inspector and would like to get a view of a roof which I can't access. Could I get around part 107 if I secure the drone to the ground with heavy gauge fishing line?

[@tannerott6346]

Alright I can give you a simple run down, if you tether a drone to the ground it doesn't make a difference, if you fly commercial or for profit, you have to have a part 107 to comply, for now, you can choose not to comply with remote id but come September 16 2023 the drone has to have a remote id, I'm not sure if the consequences of not having remote id are but, the consequences of not having a part 107 and operating comes with fines, for now this is pretty much the only options we have, unless the tether would supply power to the aircraft in which it would be considered an electric kite and you can avoid all the things just stated

Hey I get it! RID is not popular. It's coming whether we like it or not. Knowing what's out there and what they do and cost though is important. Your compliance is a you issue, you will decide to comply or not. For us Part 107 holders there's really no choice, so knowing what might work best for you is the intent. Support the FPV Coalition's petition, to up the 250gram limit. At this time that's all we pilots can do and of course continue to fly safe. As that matters the most.

[@BlueDroneBlues]

Hi, Kenny. Related the DJI Goggles V2 and the DJI Goggles 2. I wonder why there isn't something really simple that just plugs via USB-C where your phone goes into the goggles where a simple Remote ID unit could simple plug in with or without using your phone. A small plastic shell with a male end on one side into the goggles and a female end if you want to plug in another device all through the same USB-C port. Hope I didn't make this confusing. If I used Solid Works I could make a simple tiny DJI Box mold that has the male on top you plug in and your off flying and compliant with Remote ID and all our favorite Karen's can keep an eye on us!

R-ID or not, recreational or not, drones are always to yield to manned aircraft. In other words, either way you would be in a word of hurt and in big trouble. Also, manned aircraft pilots will not be looking for or at R-ID data in hopes of avoiding drones.

[@stevenpeck5949]

@@CousinSchultz I guess I missed something. I thought one of the uses of remote ID was help control air traffic. I thought the FAA computers were going to use the signals to notify other air craft, that is when I open B4UFLY and Aloft Air Control, I am warned of hazards in the air space. And I have to request authorization to fly if there is a local hazard.

[@CousinSchultz]

​@@stevenpeck5949 Hmm, that was indeed the way it was originally sold with mandated "Network" R-ID. However, the law that passed is (currently) only "Broadcast" R-ID. With broadcast R-ID, there will not be integration into B4UFLY nor Air Control, nor any of the other apps as it is not possible with the current infrastructure. Even today before R-ID goes into effect, if you get LAANC authorization/approval, only YOU can see your own approval. That fact continues to blow my mind. Why they are not able to display everyone's active LAANC approval on the maps within these apps is beyond me. B4UFLY does show everyone's notify and fly requests, but creating a notify and fly request is completely voluntary and not required. Whereas LAANC authorizations/approvals are required in controlled airspace. Why I am not able to see someone else's active LAANC approval/authorization when I pull up a map within controlled airspace is truly beyond me!

[@petem.3719]

You would be held responsible either way, no matter what stupid action was, or was not, taken by the pilot of the manned aircraft. RID just makes it easier for Big Brother to identify and prosecute you. I'll probably just remove all my registration numbers and just go rogue whenever RID takes effect.

I have a phantom 4. And several various electric and fuel planes. I am wondering how this remote ID will be required for the planes.

[@CousinSchultz]

Any sUAV that weighs 250 grams or more must be registered with the FAA. If you fly an sUAV commercially, it must be registered regardless of weight. Any sUAV that requires registration ,must have a R-ID module on it as of 9/16/23 or have standard R-ID built in. However, anyone can go fly any sUAV in an approved FRIA without R-ID. The problem with the last option is the fact that the FAA has not approved a single FRIA as of this posting. Due to that fact, I and many others are hopeful that the 9/16/23 date will be pushed back.

Another way to dig into your pockets. Literally highway robbery for those who really love the craft. Maybe us drone guys need to tie a camera to a kite and they'll be fixin to create ways to exploit that also.

That's like 10% of my quad's weight and costs as much as my quad was to put together... no thank you. And then - what is it? Does it just broadcast within wifi/Bluetooth range? So someone would have to know about quadcopters, care enough to install an app, constantly have the app open in the coincidence that they can see if I am flying a quadcopter at that very moment, and be within maybe 50 feet of my quad? How absurd.

Never underestimate the pettiness of a Karen.

Stupidly expensive. Nobody but commercial operators will comply with this bullshit. Let them hunt me down if they're so worried.

BlueMark db120 $180.81 USD. I bought this one for my Phantom 4 V2 that I bought recently *after sep 22* I will have to buy another one for my HorizonHobby Carbon Cub S2 1.3m.

Why? You only need one module that can be shared by all of your aircraft.

@@my_dear_friend_ I fly my p4p commercially. The state of WA charges $15 per sUAS aircraft per year in addition to the FAS fee of $5 per three years. I now need another RID Module for my recreational aircraft.

[@my_dear_friend_]

@@WA4OSH - Yeah, that's annoying.
