The regulators tell us that this is because the pilots have "skin in the game" and therefore are not going to endanger themselves or others -- however, the death toll says otherwise.
It's all just about the money. There's alot more common foke that can afford a fpv drone , fly a school, bando or a quiet park. Then a ultralight or paramotor. Just money games, but yes there are some that abuse the privilege. It's all a f..king joke to make others broke. Happy holidays and flying guys and gals.
I always thought RID was implemented to allow authorities to identify the pilot when a drone is observed doing something or flying somewhere illegal. Paramotors are so slow they can just follow it till it lands.
I like that when remote ID was about to become a thing my flying club collectively said that idea could get bent and that they would never see a module on any of the clubs airplanes. Complete gov overreach
We get taxed when we earn. We get taxed when we spend. We get taxed when we inherit, we get taxed on what we get from what we save, we get taxed on what we sell. We even get taxed when we die.
One time I was explaining remote id to my sister and she immediately said it's not even worth thinking about because it can't be easily enforced. I thought there was a risk of being investigated by the FAA but it seems like you proved that to be wrong.
100% of everything that any government in any country does is for *_POWER AND CONTROL!!!_* *_POWER OVER IT'S PEOPLE AND THE CONTROL OF IT'S PEOPLE!!!_*
RID is just another Charge when the gestapo want to wrap you up. That's how they do things here. Try to stack as many charges as possible so something will stick.
Not just the Influencers. The AMA and many of these supposed 'lifetime AMA members' are very quick to say 'baa, baaaaa, baaaaaa" and 'give it to me dry'.
The so called know it all's, experts , the AMA, FPVFC, even Flite test ( who is now under a FPVFC Messina and his socialist bow down crap ) and many YT so called influencers all for the mighty dollar sold the community out and what is worse is so many still follow them, fund them and hang on their every word...SICKENING sadly those who spoke against it are berated and ignored by most in the Community...even more sickening !!!
Agree! I mentioned it multiple times but it’s certainly a bust if we’re being completely honest. Speaking as a NJ resident. Would love to see some stat’s on this stuff but they just don’t exists. If we’re honest remote id is a joke and it’s certainly the reason for so many night flights that don’t show in any current tracking software.
Yep, I got some flying in but was mainly interested in seeing how much difference my "robot cameras" made to collecting video footage. I used the Neo and the Pocket 3 as my camera-persons and the results weren't too bad. It's just so much harder when you are a "one man band" without anyone to hold a camera for you so these tools help a lot.
They're government drones. A commercial pilot tried to send his drone up to get a better look, he couldn't take off like being grounded near an airport.
Drone registration is not required because congress didn't act to make any such law, the FAA invented it out of thin air, and it got smacked down by the courts. Remote I.D. is also voluntary, as there is not such law requiring it, only some bureaucrat made it up. I have dozens of drones and none of them have remote I.D.
Thing is they are forgetting how these hobbies have saved people. Addictions, on suicidal paths. This hobby had helped many people including myself. I agree Bots videos are him being honest and himself. It's bad that DJI turned them in. Different parts of the world and we still are community.
Good point about money being the driving force in any future network remote ID enforcement. I think you understand how the world works. Here in the UK, still waiting to hear about the next lot of rules from 2026, likely to include a version of network remote ID, and if as proposed, on absolutely everything with camera, regardless of size.
Its a matter of time before they conclude it really doesn't work ( and maybe they have but don't want tell anyone yet ). Let's hope rather sooner than later.
In the US there was a incident with a drone from a light show where a kid was injured. A German RUclipsr who made a video where he calculated how dangerous drones are (the mass with falling speed). Meanwhile in the subscription of the video he linked to drone insurances... Okey he also linked to a fundraiser for the poor kid. But don't those drone show companies have insurance for these kind of incidents??
Yeah, there's a lot of that story presently untold and I don't think the media is giving all the facts. Remember -- this is the *SAME* media that told us that the skies over NJ were filled with "mystery drones" when even a five-year-old could tell that what people were seeing were airliners.
@@automaton450 As I understand it the waiver didn't allow them to fly over people -- there was a "safe zone" where people were excluded underneath the display. The problem arose when some drones took off at full speed and flew out of the safe zone -- into the crowd.
@@xjet Ya the news networks here in the US are reporting they had a waiver to fly over people, so I just looked up the 107 waivers issued, 6 for Sky Elements and 8 for the responsible person Preston Ward, none are for flying over people, mostly for altitude restrictions, night flying lighting requirements, and number of UAS at once. I suspect the reporters didn’t look up specific waivers, just the first page on waivers listing all the possible waivers!
You would think it would be the same as pyrotechnic displays. There have been a handful of incidents where a member of the viewing public has been 'hurt' by a failure during the event. It should be the same for drone light shows, you would think? Same sort of Insurance Cover.
Good video. If you looked at most of the videos that the news media was showing as reported drone, was obviously either commercial manned airliners, helicopters or anything an unmanned drone. The other things that the military didn’t wanna talk about was obviously test drones that they were running at night as some sort of test and didn’t want to talk about it so the military isn’t gonna put remote ID on their drones of course not their exempt from the law.
Maybe the staff that were hired to enforce RemoteID, have been shuffled over to the dept that has been under-staffed for licensing Rocket Launches, and given something productive to do.
The Id module is Bluetooth or WiFi neither has more then a 100 feet range. I’ve also seen little modules that can spoof the system and create multiple fake drones as camouflage
I just went through the nonsense of registering my new holystone hs 720e. As a resident of NJ I can verify without a doubt they were large drones. Not manned aircraft. They were almost the size of a Volkswagen.
On the BBC in the UK the news presenter put it to a CAA rep that the lack of a Gatwick prosecution may have encouraged bad drone use? No drones, no prosecutions are possible.
In Australia if you have a ReOc and RePl and if you fly in a building that is not fully enclosed near an airport (like if it's a shed or a bando with holes that you can get out from), you need a permit and notam 😁🙈
Building a 4lb glider right now. My first thought was, there's no way in hell I'm putting an ID on it. Or say my 300 gram DLG's. I will however say the problem is; back in the day getting into RC meant you had to know people and be rather familiar with aircraft including the rules. Once drones came to be I knew it'd allow people who have no prior understanding in aviation a device that can get them into tons of trouble. Which of course means the rest of us.
I’m in the process of getting back into drones I got a cheap one to re practice on and it’s such a blast again that I’m looking at building a freestyle drone
I've got a couple. The one in this vid is quite old and I bought it from Hobby King (back in the day). It's kevlar and carbon so pretty light -- but I'm still breaking the regulations because there's a heliport within 4Km of this park and I'm throwing it well above the height of nearby trees. Gosh, I hope nobody dies.
oldguyFPV; In the United States, if there has ever been a law, regulation and/ or rule, that is unconstitutional on it face, it’s RID! Fly safe, fly free!
It's not dead until congress would repeal the law. It's a totally different matter in terms of enforcement and knowledge of what it does. While it doesnt affect lots of us, there are people who think drones are a threat and rid is working in areas like stadium events.
Maybe that's why "the government " was never worried. It was probably their tech in the air, and they had no remote ID on their government issued gear (because the US can't compete with the Chinese manufacturers when it comes to the remote ID module), or because like us, they didn't want every nosy Karen to know what they were up to.
Have it on all my planes/helis I fly at non FRIAs. Very easy to install. No issues with complying. The FAA can go after my pilot certificate so I’m not gonna risk it
If you're running a model RC club, we all know the traditional side of the hobby has been in massive decline for a long time now. All I see at model clubs are super expensive turbines and IMAC style models. So in that regard the hobby has turned into a 'Jet ski of the sky' type of deal. Super expensive and not for everyone. Hobby Shops are all long gone. So folks, buy a couple of display cabinets and start setting up old engines, magazines and radios. A nice way to remember a great era long gone.
Our CAA will gladly follow its FAA Overlords updated regulatory recommendations. I've noticed they've increased CAA drone regulation advertising on various social media sites recently.
I fly for work here in the U.S. under Part 107, so, I really can't thumb my nose at the Remote ID requirements. That said, I haven't found it to be much of a pain to comply with either. I fly an aircraft with built-in Remote ID capabilities (Skydio), so, the whole thing was pretty painless. That said, I definitely do feel for those who just want to fly for fun in a responsible way as they have for decades now without issue. I think some further refinement to the regulation is in order. The local club I belong to is a FRIA, so, at least we do have access to an approved location without the need for Remote ID. But, I don't think the process should be as lengthy, difficult and as outright exclusive as it is. Before I was Part 107, and prior to Remote ID going into effect, I could walk out into my own back yard and fly without worry...I couldn't do that now without 107. At the very least, I think they need to make it possible and relatively simple for anyone (including individuals just flying for fun) to set up a FRIA at no cost anywhere they have permission to fly. Under Part 107, It only takes me a couple of minutes to get automated FAA clearance to fly in controlled airspace near a major airport. Setting up a personal FRIA in the middle of nowhere should be just as easy.
Currently the FAA is having problems staffing facilities with controllers. Letting commercial planes and drones nearby is adding to passenger danger, not reducing it. Drone deliveries in cities is very limited BECAUSE airspace is VERY REGULATED.
Remote ID requirements prevent drone incidents in much the same way license plates prevent car incidents. Which is to say, they don't, but they sure do make for a good way to ensure a revenue stream.
I'll happily continue to fly my freestyle quads of varying sizes at local parks, my home, and other innocent locations as always in a responsible manner while continuing to fully ignore the nonsense of remote ID. If there was ever a hard requirement to implement such a thing...just buy the lightest, smallest, crappiest remote ID with the worst signal strength and inline it with the GPS module. With such a terrible module, you absolutely won't see that thing on any drone app unless its on top of you, yet you will be 'compliant' on some level.
I think when one country manages to get Remote ID working it will lead to other countries doing it, in the UK this has been discussed for quite a few years and undergoes public consultation, the UK has failed to come up with acceptable agreements, my argument for not having it is that the general public should not be able to track the average Joe flying his drone as it could cause conflicts that should be dealt with by either the police or CAA FAA etc Having the position of a drone could be useful for aircraft in the vicinity as an early warning. I find it a bit irritating that in the UK drones are restricted to up to 400ft, but helicopters and small planes quite often go lower than this when flying, if they stayed at 500ft and only dropped close to airports and dropped vertically for helipads etc the risk of a conflict would be reduced. I do not expect the CAA or the police to act sensibly on this in the UK, so Remote ID may happen and it will probably be a disaster in the first couple of years until changes are made to correct bad decisions :(
Have been very fortunate to have neighbors who all think my RC aircraft are cool instead of annoying or malicious. Nobody calling the cops or checking for RID over some harmless enjoyment of the air.
I know members of the drone community have a much more diverse political background but, I just want to point out that this process is exactly the same way gun control laws are implemented. They will make an issue committed by fringe elements and then swing the ban hammer hard and claim they did something and then line up for the next swing.
Plenty of really great 3 and 4 inch under 250g now so pretty easy to stay legal. Otherwise just land the quad a km away and say “what drone?” Retrieve it later.
Unless you plan to use video from your sub250g drone on a monetized YT channel because *then* you will legally be required to fit RID and fly under part 107 if you're in the USA.
@@xjet Not if the flight was intended as recreational, so there are some exceptions. But all fpv pilots should have spotters, too. Also, most should have ham radio licenses.
@@GearZenChannel Yep, think of all the lives that would have been saved if all FPV pilots had sat their ham ticket... doesn't bear thinking about (shudder!). 🙂 The monetization thing with the FAA seems pretty arbitrary -- a lot of folk have been forced to get a 107 or face stiff fines for posting "recreational" videos to their monetized YT channels.
@@xjet If you have a channel focused on drones, it would be a rough argument. But you could certainly be using stock footage, or be using footage that somebody else shot on their drone. But if it is your livelihood, I guess you need to jump through the hoops with at least a part 107 and registration.
I fly 3d aerobatics and alot of freestyle fpv and some cinematic fip and roll cinematic smooth flying and I have really been wanting to do a dlg and catch som thermals looks kinda fun
Its kind of funny. No one really wants to do anything to fight the stupid regs, but ironically that has also led to many people also not wanting to do anything to comply with them either. The non compliance is having the biggest impact. The downside is that the US government hates disobedience and will not stand for it in the end. 7:00 - technically under the law (at least last I studied it) the government can not charge US residents for use of the NAS. That won't stop them from trying anyway or changing the law though.
If you check, you'll see that airlines pay for ATC services and you'll find that Network RID will fall under the ATC umbrella, therefore there will be charges involved.
Im not a fan but I used it for a gig in October and it actually made it easier for me doing a job. I was next to an Airport and a stadium (I could see the ID of aircraft in my display taking off and landing) I supplied my information and flight plan and was authorized using LAANC. As an FPV pilot i hate it, as a drone operator on a job I actually liked it.
@@FreeEditsForYou I don’t think it’s inav unless you have an adsb receiver on the drone so it’s probably mavlink. Dji drones have adsb by default for anything bigger than the mini series
I sure hope so. It seems completely pointless anyway. I could maybe see a reason for it if Amazon delivery drones were flying all over the place and there was a risk of us hitting them with our drones, but that hasn't happened yet, and doesn't seem like it will anytime in the foreseeable future.
I turn it on and let it turn green. I don't think anybody has or knows about the app around here. I fyl 100m w/vtol for launch. Nice predator grey paint. lights only at c twilight.... my biggest worry is the owls. they get cranky late winter and when breeding
We are in that "wait and see" place. Not sure what the new admin will do concerning the FAA. Musk would love to see the FAA bow down to him. They are saying they want to cut costs, so....what will happen ????? Stay tuned....
And Happy New Year to you, Sir! I do flight simulation, as here in London, UK, where the hell could I fly a drone? And having lost the left hand in an accident, I am sure the lovely authorities would cause me problems. All in the name of safety, of course! We saw their safety madness in 2020... Utterly pathetic authorities. Once a Dissident, always a Dissident!
Remote ID was never about actual security. Only control
Those in Power want a monopoly on flying cameras.
Case in point...East Coast present day.
Yup 😢 @GunsNGloryShow
And that's why I will fly uninhibited and with no restrictions period rip any bootlicker comes to talk to me will experience the second amendment in droves
And money
There was no way in hell I was ever doing Remote ID
Exactly!
Remote ID was never workable, it was a "solution" created by bureaucrats, for politicians. The goal is to eliminate R/C .
You know it's weird that ultralight aircraft don't need remote ID🙃
And paramotors don’t need remote id or have altitude limits.
The regulators tell us that this is because the pilots have "skin in the game" and therefore are not going to endanger themselves or others -- however, the death toll says otherwise.
It's all just about the money. There's alot more common foke that can afford a fpv drone , fly a school, bando or a quiet park. Then a ultralight or paramotor. Just money games, but yes there are some that abuse the privilege. It's all a f..king joke to make others broke. Happy holidays and flying guys and gals.
I always thought RID was implemented to allow authorities to identify the pilot when a drone is observed doing something or flying somewhere illegal. Paramotors are so slow they can just follow it till it lands.
@@Autoxdriver The problem is the ones that comply, don't do anything illegal. Funny how that works.
Never used remote id and never will
I like that when remote ID was about to become a thing my flying club collectively said that idea could get bent and that they would never see a module on any of the clubs airplanes. Complete gov overreach
I like people who keep fighting!
Non compliance is an American's way of life It goes all the way back to the Boston Tea Party...
Time to dump some tea
We get taxed when we earn. We get taxed when we spend. We get taxed when we inherit, we get taxed on what we get from what we save, we get taxed on what we sell. We even get taxed when we die.
Well if you get caught, you will be looking at losing your UAS and a sizeable fine. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.
It goes back before that. Look up why the Maine flag has the pine tree on it.
Famously, we are taught to rebel against authority!
E.T. will ignore remote ID and continue to operate their plasma orb crafts. 👽👽
Telling A hobbiest not to tamper is a joke
Y'd think they would have learned that from the Car Enthusiast community, as the US EPA has recently found out the hard way.
I love DLG's!
Rand Paul has stood against more drone regs.! 👍

If there was ever a hard requirement to implement such a thing...just buy the lightest, smallest, crappiest remote ID with the worst signal strength and inline it with the GPS module. With such a terrible module, you absolutely won't see that thing on any drone app unless its on top of you, yet you will be 'compliant' on some level.
I think when one country manages to get Remote ID working it will lead to other countries doing it, in the UK this has been discussed for quite a few years and undergoes public consultation, the UK has failed to come up with acceptable agreements, my argument for not having it is that the general public should not be able to track the average Joe flying his drone as it could cause conflicts that should be dealt with by either the police or CAA FAA etc Having the position of a drone could be useful for aircraft in the vicinity as an early warning. I find it a bit irritating that in the UK drones are restricted to up to 400ft, but helicopters and small planes quite often go lower than this when flying, if they stayed at 500ft and only dropped close to airports and dropped vertically for helipads etc the risk of a conflict would be reduced. I do not expect the CAA or the police to act sensibly on this in the UK, so Remote ID may happen and it will probably be a disaster in the first couple of years until changes are made to correct bad decisions :(
Have been very fortunate to have neighbors who all think my RC aircraft are cool instead of annoying or malicious. Nobody calling the cops or checking for RID over some harmless enjoyment of the air.
same. I fly foamies off my deck
Military attire?! A T-shirt and a floppy hat! LOL!
I know members of the drone community have a much more diverse political background but, I just want to point out that this process is exactly the same way gun control laws are implemented. They will make an issue committed by fringe elements and then swing the ban hammer hard and claim they did something and then line up for the next swing.
nailed it at 0:09 lol
BTW I love the military attire jab😂😂
I've been waiting on a video like this. Typical government policy being a complete failure. No RID for me!! #NEVERCOMPLY
I'm in NJ and they are still rolling out 1 month NFZ's and already talking about extending them.,
Plenty of really great 3 and 4 inch under 250g now so pretty easy to stay legal. Otherwise just land the quad a km away and say “what drone?” Retrieve it later.
Unless you plan to use video from your sub250g drone on a monetized YT channel because *then* you will legally be required to fit RID and fly under part 107 if you're in the USA.
@@xjet Not if the flight was intended as recreational, so there are some exceptions. But all fpv pilots should have spotters, too. Also, most should have ham radio licenses.
@@GearZenChannel Yep, think of all the lives that would have been saved if all FPV pilots had sat their ham ticket... doesn't bear thinking about (shudder!). 🙂 The monetization thing with the FAA seems pretty arbitrary -- a lot of folk have been forced to get a 107 or face stiff fines for posting "recreational" videos to their monetized YT channels.
@@xjet If you have a channel focused on drones, it would be a rough argument. But you could certainly be using stock footage, or be using footage that somebody else shot on their drone. But if it is your livelihood, I guess you need to jump through the hoops with at least a part 107 and registration.
I fly 3d aerobatics and alot of freestyle fpv and some cinematic fip and roll cinematic smooth flying and I have really been wanting to do a dlg and catch som thermals looks kinda fun
Stupid thing is if your doing something nefarious your not going to fly with remote id or register your drone. It only affects law abiding citizens.
There was no Gatwick drone? Did I miss something?
Wait what happened now? what they reniging on now?
Its kind of funny. No one really wants to do anything to fight the stupid regs, but ironically that has also led to many people also not wanting to do anything to comply with them either. The non compliance is having the biggest impact. The downside is that the US government hates disobedience and will not stand for it in the end.
7:00 - technically under the law (at least last I studied it) the government can not charge US residents for use of the NAS. That won't stop them from trying anyway or changing the law though.
If you check, you'll see that airlines pay for ATC services and you'll find that Network RID will fall under the ATC umbrella, therefore there will be charges involved.
Im not a fan but I used it for a gig in October and it actually made it easier for me doing a job. I was next to an Airport and a stadium (I could see the ID of aircraft in my display taking off and landing) I supplied my information and flight plan and was authorized using LAANC. As an FPV pilot i hate it, as a drone operator on a job I actually liked it.
That’s not remotely if that shows you aircraft. That’s adsb in.
@@angelnunez6476 Understood but I used remote ID on the I3 for the job?
@@angelnunez6476is that an INAV thing? Or MAV link? I remember the OSD showing other planes but it's not remote ID it's something new right?
@@FreeEditsForYou I don’t think it’s inav unless you have an adsb receiver on the drone so it’s probably mavlink. Dji drones have adsb by default for anything bigger than the mini series
It's only about control and extortion. "Well it's illegal, but.... if you pay me I'll give you a piece of paper that says you can do it." Nonsense.
Spot on!
I sure hope so. It seems completely pointless anyway. I could maybe see a reason for it if Amazon delivery drones were flying all over the place and there was a risk of us hitting them with our drones, but that hasn't happened yet, and doesn't seem like it will anytime in the foreseeable future.
I fly with fiber optic so they can’t scan for me
I turn it on and let it turn green. I don't think anybody has or knows about the app around here. I fyl 100m w/vtol for launch. Nice predator grey paint. lights only at c twilight.... my biggest worry is the owls. they get cranky late winter and when breeding
Spudcam never flattering.
Fix it in post!
Hi, where are you in New Zealand? I am visiting my son in February and would love to go to your flying field to meet u all.thanks Brian
Tokoroa.
We are in that "wait and see" place. Not sure what the new admin will do concerning the FAA. Musk would love to see the FAA bow down to him. They are saying they want to cut costs, so....what will happen ?????
Stay tuned....
And Happy New Year to you, Sir! I do flight simulation, as here in London, UK, where the hell could I fly a drone? And having lost the left hand in an accident, I am sure the lovely authorities would cause me problems. All in the name of safety, of course! We saw their safety madness in 2020... Utterly pathetic authorities. Once a Dissident, always a Dissident!
Saw one where a distantly lit oil rig was a Ufo lol
RID WAS A HOBBY SCARE
Sorry, I don't think that many people were mistaking airplanes for drones drones!
Lol they're acting like criminals are gonna install remoteid on their homemade "delivery" drones 😭😭
*Let the Sunshine In...*
thanks.
Not only is it not dead, but this is going to user in the next phase, network remote id
My country is suppose to be the leaders of the world, freedom and ect... yeah we are the leaders in stupidity. Great video love watching and ty
Mostly stupid sheep that would help the wolve devore themselves.
