They are also helpful if you are parking in an unfamiliar area when you go sight seeing. Just turn it on and for the next 5 hours or so you can track your car down using your phone even if you get lost.
These modules are VERY important for uhhh national security & junk.... So be sure to properly protect yours with thick layers of aluminum foil to protect it!!!
I have a couple of tiny strap on remote ID modules for our drones. When they went on sale for less than $35 I put one on our cat's collar and turn it on when we take him outside in case he runs off. Is this wrong?
Love it, I have one just get it and set it up the way Keith describes in another video. Takes 10 minutes. Everyone goes with the cheaper ones. Just pay $10 more and be invisible! Do it RIGHT the first time. Also, look for firmware updates every year. Don't believe you can with the other cheapos!
I have had the Holy Stone since January,. Mine has always had the operator move a little. It is a feature not a bug. Don't complain. I like it just like it is. Keeps me from having to get in my car and drive to another location so if "Karen" does come looking for me I won't be there anymore, and my drone would have been in the air the entire time.Seriously though the Module is marking where it took off from, not the individual or their radio. You can move anywhere, it doesn't know. Honestly, I would never do that. I have no need to.
That blue mark is kind of interesting. I like the idea of turning it down to 0, and still be compliant. I would definitely get one, but I have no need for one. Thanks for sharing Keith. 👍👍👍
Hi there, I hope you're doing well! Real quick, I had a few questions regarding how you keep the module on the drone itself. From your recommendation, I currently have the DB120. Do you use a double-sided glue Velcro thing or is this something else? if it is something else, would you please let me know how to secure it safely? Also, I was curious about how to register the module itself. Do I follow the same process as registering the drone? On a side note, I'm also looking for two extra batteries for my DJI Mini 2 SE. Would you happen to know a reliable place to get both? Thank you so much, and I hope you have a great day! :)
I tried a few different mounting techniques and ended up at the velcro technique, and if you're nervous about regular velcro use the "dual-lock" type, pretty strong type. Just don't get the cheap-o stuff and clean everything with an alcohol wipe first and you'll be fine. Yes, the module just gets added to your registration with the FAA. You can find the mini 2 SE batteries here: amzn.to/4dIvNPH ... Good Flying! 🤙
@@AlienDrones You're the best! Thank you so, so much. I truly appreciate it! I've been putting off so many things with my drone because all these laws make my head spin. Thanks again :)
As a casual recreational flyer, don't I want a RID that gives off the least signal strength while still remaining compliant? If so, then I want the Blue mark with AK or the Drone tag with the lowest signal. Also, does is matter the app? Is OpenDrone better than DroneScanner? What is more widely used by the general public?
HI, If your drone is below .249g and below and you are a flying recreationally, you do not need to worry about RID. If your drone is below 55LBS to .255g you will need to be RID compliant. I hope that helps.
@@kmoecub That is not correct, if your drone is over 249g it must have RID and be registered regardless if its for Rec or Comm use. All Comm use drones regardless of weight must have RID and be registered. And its not "Real" ID. Its "Remote" ID. "Real" ID is on your drivers license so you can fly on a plane.
This FIMI being used, the X8 pro, says it has remote ID (FIMI says so) but it does not. There is no Remote ID transmitting and no approved FAA DOC, so nothing to test. That's why I had two RID modules on this drone when testing the modules, 1 RID module being tested, the other was the one that is registered for the drone to keep it compliant.
Hello, I'm from Brazil and here we have a lot of problems with crime and lately the authorities are making drone seizures; Which module model is the correct one to use on the Fimi X8? I await your response; Thanks!
Any of the models shown in this video will work just fine, I'd recommend the Holy Stone model right now as they have a sale going on, but if that is not available locally, any of them will work. All links are in the description area of the video. Let me know if you have questions
Does the DJI mini 4 pro have built in remote ID.....and is it broadcasting BOTH my location....along with my drone? It's under 250g and 100% recreational use....not registered.....
It will only broadcast RID if you use the larger batteries that take the weight over the .55 lbs. If you need to fly part 107 and NEED RID to transmit, then you will have to add a RID module if using the normal batteries. Stupid, but it is what it is.
The Fimi X8 Pro says it has remote ID built in but it does not. That's why I had 2 modules on during the flights as I have it registered with the Bluemark add-on module.
@@AlienDrones FAA website say's the X8 model is approved. I think maybe you confuse not seeing the RID with an app meaning it doesn't have the Karen/FAA RID. Classic RID the FAA first pushed was a specific character length for ID. It seems the FAA figured out sticking to a set ANSI character length was silly since all the monitoring software has to do is spot a signal and decode which most radio digital software's do these days. If the Karen app's don't see it it is a good thing.
@@nightwaves3203 The FIMI X8 Pro still does not have remote ID yet nor does it have an FAA approved DOC. The FIMI X8 SE 2022 did just recently receive the FAA approval but not the X8 Pro that was used in this video.
@@AlienDrones They drag their feet on approvals. It's the same as the already approved. I sure didn't think much of them having the 2 prior versions of the 2022
Any RID modules that can have multiple personalities? I only fly one aircraft at a time, but I'd rather not buy a second module, would like to swap it back and forth, but alas that appears to not be an option for 107 flight
You actually think a Karen has the time or knowledge to even track a drone really. Only people tracking any air traffic are fellow enthusiast who dont care.
I was pretty much wondering the same why in the world would a Karen be sitting back with bated breath looking on a drone tracker to try to find somebody and harass them that's crazy.. they're probably hanging out at the park with nothing else better to do
I depends, maybe. If in the US, AND flying recreationally only, AND following ALL the recreational rules (rules video here: ruclips.net/video/b3yQYl7eAeQ/видео.html ) , AND the drone is less than 250g, then you do not need remote ID. If flying in the US and any one of the things mentioned are not true, then remote ID is needed on the drone, either a module like these shown or FAA approved standard remote ID built into the drone that is transmitting. Any questions let me know, happy to help.
Assuming you mean the Potensic modules we just gave away and yup, sent those and some SWAG out a couple weeks ago to the winners... Gave away some Holy Stone ones too, probably will have more in the future...
Karen stay away from me. I don’t speak to karens I get physical if that happens. If it’s not the FAA or police law enforcement. NOBODY have no right to bug a drone pilot! Nobody!!!

It’s a shame that you have to factor security into your flight planning. Im used to it from flying in areas prone to crime. Think of alternative landing sites. Blend into your environment. 😂
My name is Karen and maybe you think it is "Karen" of me to comment, but how would you like it if someone did that to your name? Who is ever going to name their child Karen since the name has been disparaged? Anyway, I am angry with whoever started this trend.

So with the Bluemark you can set it to 0 m reading distance.... now that sounds ideal! Kind of like remote ID without remote ID 😃

Are there any current FAA rules preventing the mounting of a Remote ID unit inside of a Faraday Cage?
I'm curious about how the built in RID on DJI stuff compares? I honestly don't know a lot about it all but I assume they can be tracked the same?
Yeaaa you brought back that ending intro....love it so funny as you look around and the drone falls in the water behind you..
💦😎
That blue mark is kind of interesting. I like the idea of turning it down to 0, and still be compliant. I would definitely get one, but I have no need for one.
Thanks for sharing Keith. 👍👍👍
good luck karen. I think mine fell off somewhere
Karen can't find me. I don't have one.

There are other remote ID modules out there. FT EZID and the mRID from Phoenix UAS. More FPV RID's but both can be a standalone if needed.
So where do I get one of those modules for my Ruko F11 Pro S. When did Ruko start installing these I D s in their procucts??
😂 I filmed a video with this question too. Haven't released it though yet.
Those Karens are gonna be mad!
Great minds think alike they say... 😎
The winds lately in the midwest have been brutal with gusts from 30 to 45mph.. its nuts. Have my drone grounded
Thanks. Can you do this for dji?

Pin a note on that Fimi "Keep it if found"......lol
oldguyFPV; If a person, flies a drone without RID, and no one else is around, who cares?
What is the distance of the FIMI internal RID and what is the info seen of the FIMI internal RID.

How does the FAA know if you have RID on your drone?
They don't?
They don't real time, unless there is a problem and they have to look into it. Then they pile on with as many infractions they can find...
I want one 5 feet range!
Very interesting review sir🫡. Hats off. Thank you so much

You can swap the module between aircraft if flying recreationally, if flying 107 then a separate module is needed for each airctaft.
@@AlienDrones yup, read that on FAA site, an unfortunate requirement.
