I tried flying without remote id the other day, and my quad worked just fine. Fly safe, fly free!
You CAN. And I WILL. Toys are toys. And no, I won't put remote ID on any of mine.
Won’t comply. I do me you do you.
I have a Part 107, and a Mini 2. LOL I can fly if I want "recreate", but I can't fly if I want to make a dollar. It makes no sense. The drone didn't change when I wanted to get paid. Everything is stupid, and that they haven't carved out an exception for these 256g drones for Part 107 pilots is extremely frustrating. Why should I have to buy a new $1200 drone? There isn't anything wrong wrong my old $1200 drone.
These rules only apply to people who post videos if you don't post you don't need to worry about them.
When you post videos and receive money
you are no longer a recreational flyer even if you did it as a favor for someone else.
Do make a video about registered UAS ID drones flying with their UAS ID intentionally disabled. FAA 107 violation.
They apply to anyone who has anything lift off the ground under power that's greater than 250 grams.
Yes, you can! I do all the time as a recreational flyer. Just fly safely, respect the privacy of other people, and stay clear of restricted airspace.
True, although it its best to become very familiar with the official rules. Many people aren't aware of some of the nuances--which are important.
Question is: how far away can someone be to detect your drone with the drone scanner apps? Answer is if someone is at least 2 miles away from your location or the drone’s location the rid will not show up on the drone scanner app. After extensive testing it is determined that the rid I operating off of Bluetooth? So how far can you walk away from your phone when listening to music with headphones? That’s not very far. Have you ever tried to login to the drone scanner app and didn’t see drones flying across the United States 😂 when you download flight radar app it will show you manned aircrafts everywhere weather they are approaching your location or flying somewhere else. It will also show you their altitude and where they are flying from and to. But you can’t be in Florida and see drones flying around in New York. So if someone was to see your drone showing up on the drone app then they would have to be pretty close to your location in order to see it. And if they are already that close chances are they don’t need the app to spot you in the first place. Rid is not what you think it is. The FAA can’t tell when you are flying unless they are already close to you in the first place.
@rginiasBigred271 Officials caught someone flying a drone over a stadium during an NFL game recently. The game was stopped because of the drone, and he is facing felony charges. Officials have better means of tracking than you. Some reports said he launched from three miles away. But my statement also relates to situations where you can fly a drone legally, but may be challenged by others that don't know drone rules.
@@GeologyDudeimagine living in a country where they are so insecure over a toy drone they got to stop the game. Not just football but anything related to aviation. Such a Wimpy insecure country. Everyone in that stadium had a significant higher chance of dying in a car accident leaving the game then said toy drone causing a problem
@@WestVirginiasBigred271 Without RID, no one can track my transmitting location. And I have a habit of flying inbound low, just over treetops for landings at most of my flying locations… good luck to anyone trying to physically track the drone!
Hello. I've just got a HoverAir X1 in hand. I'm planning to shoot videos in Japan but I found that the X1 Console did not have built-in Remote ID module. The official Authority seems requires any Drones over 250 gram mandatory to attach a remote ID module but X1 only weighs 125g then I don't know if my X1 has to buy a separate remote ID module.
Great video Ken,
I have a couple of questions regarding the Drone Scanner app and the Air2s. After a flight, does the DS app record everything to memory? Where would you look up this information?
To the best of my knowledge, Drone Scanner doesn't record/save anything.
But from the main screen when a drone is transmitting RID info, tap on the Drone Serial number and when the Information screen is displayed, tap the 3 dots at top right of the screen.
From there you can export data. I'm not sure if this data is dynamic or static.
Well done!
Thank you!
Great overview; have you considered making a video that address Part 107 rules in regard to flying over people? In particular sUAS like the MiniPro 4. The weight appears to fall under Cat 1 rules but does it really?
No none of the Mini's are Category 1, once you put on a prop shield, it's over the weight limit
I don't think the Mini 4 Pro qualifies. The only way to have no "no exposed rotating parts that would cause lacerations", is to add the prop guards. These take the Mini 4 over 250g.
Thank you! Here's a video we have about flying over people: ruclips.net/video/7njX4LrDqXE/видео.htmlsi=sYk1lkXvmM4OmreI
Yes Sr, my question is, can a mini 4pro, be unregister from FAA, if register for the recreational only, or buy battery + or can I unregister my mini 4 thanks much..
Just go into your Drone Zone Dashboard and do what is needed. Please consult The FAA instead of a U Tuber.
Does the same rules apply to fixed wing as well? under 250G and flying recreational in unrestricted air space you're good to go with no registration or remote ID?
Fixed wing is a drone as far as the FAA is concerned. So yes.
I thought so....thanks@@dollar99
I have a DJI Mavic Pro 2 what's not clear is what the F I'm supposed to do, there are thousands of videos but nothing is really clear
over 250g has to be registered. any registered drone has to have RID.
1) Flying 107 Any drone hast to have RID
2) Flying Rec over 250 G Has to be registered & have RID
3) Flying Rec under 250 G Doesn't have to be registered
3a) If you registered it though , you need RID
3b) If you didn't register it, no RID needed
Easy. Look up remote ID module on Google. Buy one. Add it to your drone registration with the FAA. Attach that remote ID module to your drone and have it charged and on anytime you fly. Additionally don't forget the lights too if it's near sunset. Then buy an extra battery because all the extra weight is going to drain your batteries faster.
I have a drone, which has made about 5 years ago and weighs about 2.5 lbs. How can you get the ID for this drone? It has 4 props at 12 inch each also has gps.
You will have to get an external remote ID module to attach to your drone. We have a video about them here: ruclips.net/video/sfnABkRAdMY/видео.htmlsi=f75DdXfjr1OU2NOG
Good video. Excellent explanation. First, there doesn't seem to be an issue with getting Remote ID modules as I have purchased 3 different ones from 3 different vendors and received all of them. From my perspective, some folks are confused about what flying solely for recreation or "just for fun" means. If the flight benefits anyone (regardless of money) or the video is posted to a monetized platform such as RUclips, then the flight does NOT qualify for the Recreational Exemption. The "content providers" are flying a Part 107 activity. Just fly for fun and don't post the video to YT.
So for the record, I don't have a drone anymore ;) But if you have, let's say, a DJI Mavic Pro 2 or 3, and you're flying it around in your area, free of any flight restricted areas, will the DJI app tell on you? How would they know you're out flying?
Are you 9 years old and can't Reason?
I have the Avata. Idk how to.
I have a question! I live in Washington DC and fly miniwhoop FpV. From that law as a recreational flyer and under 250grams can I fly In downtown Washington DC?
We'll make a video about it!
Ken, fun fact…😀
With the current firmware update a DJI Mini 3 Pro’s RID won’t activate if you use an ultra light 249g battery….🤷🏻
You have to use the heavier intelligent plus battery to have it activate…🤦🏻♂️
That could cause a conundrum…🧐
On another note, the UAV Coach’s TRUST is saying.
“If you already have your FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate, you do not need to go through this training, unless you plan to fly under the recreational rules.”
I don’t believe that to be accurate…🤔
Where does it say that a Part 107 Pilot needs TRUST to operate recreationally?
Can i upload my picture and videos from my done to social media? Even though i will be flying for recreational
Yep!
Yes my question is can you unregister you mini 4 from FAA, give me some information thank much .
I'd like to know the same, Mini 2
oldguyFPV; Freemen fly free!
The funny thing is that I just purchased the Ruko U11 Pro from Amazon last month. Even before the first flight, I registered and passed the TRUST. Plus, the serial number for my drone is listed as approved on the UAS Declaration of Compliance website. The manufacturer stated that the Remote ID will be sent out in May 2024. My drone has already been approved on the UAS Declaration of Compliance website. All things are good.
Nice!
A few months ago I registered my mini 3 because I thought it was a good idea, (I am under the weight limit and am a recreational flyer) I'm not about to buy a remote id and was told that I can (and did) unregister my drone with feds. Wasted $5..
My dji mini 2 is registered but I fly for recreational purposes. It's also under 250 grams. Do I need remote ID since it is registered?
With the DJI Mini 3 and 4, the firmware updates added the remote ID to the drones automatically, buuuut, the only time that the remote ID activates on the DJI MINI 3/4 is when the extended life battery is used.
But to answer your question, I can't answer your question. If I knew that answer, mine would be completely free of remote ID. So we are pretty much able to fly free of tracking using the regular 249g battery but the second you add that extended range battery, it links. They also expect us to have it if you add a strobe light or anything else to them. It's stupid.
@@scottschnatzmeyer85 Thanks! I meant to type that it's a Mini 2
Yes.
I’m hoping the FAA will once again push back the date for this rule. The Remote IDs for home built FPV drones are still bulky and the few that are reasonably small don’t have a very accurate refresh rate to show real time location of the drone.
I wouldn't worry about the RID units accuracy, how well it transmits. Our only requirement, is to have one that has their seal of approval. Many of those barely function, or function poorly...I'm good with that. As long as I did my due diligence, I'm not responsible for how well it functions! Fly safe & have fun!
I doubt my DJI Spark could carry one of the Remote ID units. Thoughts?
oldguyFPV; Who cares, fly anyway! Fly free, fly safe!
If your DJI Spark is under 0.55 lbs and you are flying recreationally, you do not need to comply with Remote ID.
It's going to be alot of happy or pissed off people. 😂😂 I keep hearing conflicting information regarding time lapse and nd filters.
Yeah RIGHT !!! 😂😂😂😂
This is why my beautiful Q500 4K is sitting in it's nice box in the basement, so many rules that my wonderful hobby is shot down. I fly around my own house just for fun, and the flight usually lasts about 15 minutes then the battery runs down and it goes back in the house. Now I can not even do that. I have a lot of money in the drone, I bought several years ago as my last drone, because the money is just not in the budget anymore, I can not afford all these rules just to play with my plastic toy in my back yard. It is not a real airplane it is a toy. The FAA claims it is a real airplane. Soon you will have to take your drone in every so many flight hours for FAA inspection by an expensive FAA mechanic.
Move to Mayberry like me lol
I have 2 drones. A DJI Air 3 and my first drone a DJI Mini 2. Both my drones are registered with the FAA in my name. I fly only recreational and make no money from my drones. The Air 3 has built in remote ID. The Mini 2 doesn’t.
The Mini 2 must have remote ID to be legal, because it is registered. You could cancel the registration and you'd be legal without RID.
For the Mini 2, if it is under 0.55lbs and you are flying recreationally, you do not need to comply with Remote ID requirements.
Give it to the government to makes things complicated. Geez 😒
These rules don’t go into effect until March 16, 2024.
I say f*** the government and the rules and do what you want on a private side of things.
Dji works perfect fine without that crap
Everyone on the Net and You Tube Blathers the same stuff - We know this and WE KNOW there is NO One out There Looking US. AND - Nobody who can Legally give you a Ticket!!! Ya see a DRONE or Model AIRPLANE flying around you can usually see the OPERATOR so FAA Can Go to Hell.
OMG! Who gives a rats asss about it? It’s no different than getting a drivers license to drive and registering your vehicle, then putting a license plate on your car. Just do it already. Unless you really want test the limit of FAA authority and suffer the potential consequences.
RID only applies to DJI… 😂
It applies to every drone! You can read more here: www.faa.gov/uas/getting_started/remote_id
I live by the border. Am I able to fly my drone over the border to Mexico? I was able to see groups of migrants coming through illegally
You may end up with more than the FAA to deal with.
@@bidenisasnake9932 danggggg now I'm curious. I should probably ask a border patrol next time I see one at a gas station
Just fly !!! It's a toy the FAA has no teeth 😂😂😂
Real tough guy. The FAA does not need teeth. They have pens oand paper. You’ll be singing a different song when they stick you with a $10,000 fine. Or more.😂
Google "Philly Drone Life".
@@willbart1236 not where I live
@@willbart1236as long as you don't post videos these rules don't apply. The chances of ever getting caught is like winning the lottery when you don't play. Just don't post your videos and fly safe and you will be fine.
I'm in the last years of my life and own Nothing. How are they going to collect. Prison? I'd welcome the cot and free meals!@@willbart1236
If you can afford a drone (or a fixed wing ) you can certainly afford a RID unit. Don't be stupid enough to risk a fine...
Lets see. Remote ID module €240. Online training €99. License €10. Registration €23. For a €25 drone.
And you call others stupid? Really?
This whole drone regulation thing is all big daddy government over reach. It has been detrimental to the model aviation hobby. On top of that it is convoluted and way overdone, as is the case with most FAA (or any government agency) regulations. A prime example: Lets say someone has a DJI Mini 2 that they use strictly for recreational use, and they want to teach a younger person to fly that Mini. So trying to be a responsible person they put the blade cages that came with it on just for added safety. But now that they've done that they've exceeded the max weight to be recreational and now that drone has to be registered, plus remote ID installed, oh and don't forget that now its not able to be classed for the recreational exemption... that kid that wanted to learn to fly that drone now has to be licensed as a part 107 aircraft operator or get hit with a fine up to $32000 and isn't even out of grade school yet? And just because you put on blade cages to be on the safe side, that's Straight Dictatorship BS. Even more so when you consider the government and its smooth brained FED boys don't have to abide by the same regulations.
Can't afford, it's unreasonable .
I fly scratch built dollar store foam board.
Blow!
