@@thegunsngloryshow Indeed, remote ID as it is now is problematic honestly unsafe, hence my attempt to level the field, at least a little, by working with Bluemark. To your question, "... I own 38 acres...", the answer is that the _property_ ownership is irrelevant to the FAA, as FAA has jurisdiction of ALL _airspace_ both controlled and uncontrolled. So if it's in the airspace it's controlled by the FAA, and if it is in FAA jurisdiction all the rules apply for operating in that airspace. This is what allows any airplane, helicopter and hot air balloon to operate over your property with impunity. If your flight is indoors, then the FAA has no say. I know some will say "how will the FAA know" if I'm over my own property, and this is a fair point, but if a medical helicopter has to divert or if the drone flies away into the path of an airplane for instance, that's when any violations will all pile on, IMHO.

Hey great video very informative. But I have a question about connecting to the internet for the remote ID To be able to broadcast. I have an area that is located in West Virginia and it’s between mountains many mountains to be exact. And this area doesn’t have cellular service or wifi. When I fly into the area I have to wait until I get back into city limits before getting any signal to my phone. So I don’t see how remote ID can possibly work in locations such as this? I am however able to connect to GPS satellites with my DJI drones. And they still work in this area I just don’t have any internet connection.

Hello and thanks for the question! This is a common misconception as there is no cell service, WiFi or Internet required for Remote ID. This was proposed early on and was eliminated by the FAA before the rule was finalized. Someday they might revisit this, but for now no networking is needed. 🤙

Hi, Thanks for your contribution to the firmware enhancements. If I deactivate the "Reply to active WLAN scanning" function, will that prevent me locating my unit with my own phone when I land off-site? If so, could the firmware be modified to allow a specific mobile phone access to the signal. That would allow the pilot access whilst excluding the "Karens".

I have a 107 and do gig work with my mini3 , and gopro equipped cinewhoop. I plan on being mostly in compliance with everything used for work related flights.

Thanks for the good question! First, if you are registered already, regardless of the weight of the drone, adding the weight of a module will make no difference to you as far as registration, since you already did it. The difference would be if you are flying only recreationally, your drone is 250g and you are REQUIRED to register. If you are adding the module after you are already registered, you may be able to simply add the remote ID serial number to the existing registration, but the ability to update this becomes locked after some period of time (FAA website thing), then you're only choice is to cancel the registration you have and start a new one and add the RID SN to it right away. Will cost you $5 but that is the only way... This all assumes you are talking recreational flier, not Part 107. If 107 let me know, it's a little different. Hope this helps!

Brilliant. Cool. Thanks.

Excellent 👍👍

Thanks for the great video this is gonna keep a lot of people out of trouble with Karen's and People with wrong intentions.

I appreciate that you've gone to the effort here so people afraid to non comply can continue to fly. (that's catchy) I do wonder though, why not make a phone app that puts out the signal and save the weight on the quad. Nobody is going to know the signal comes from the quad and not your phone anyway. It can just randomize the GPS and altitude data, so long as you're fling nearby what's the harm?

Thanks! I imagine since some remotes don't need cell phones they wanted to be sure to see the drone...

Thank You, Does this way work for all remote id's or just this one?

I only have the details for this one, and we added options to make it react this way. If others have similar firmware and options like this that can be adjusted, and accessed by the end user then in theory it should work on more devices. IMO if manufacturers do this, even on built in modules, they'll sell more drones than those who don't...

Thanks for the infos. Good video.

is the new dji mini 4 pro always broadcasting remote id because it is built into the drone, even if your flying under 250G and recreational ?? Is there an option to turn it off under those circumstances ?

It is always broadcasting standard RID and there is no way to turn it off, regardless if you're flying recreational or not.

Great job 👏

I have a question regarding the possible interference the RID Modules may cause the UAS/UAV’s obstacle avoidance system to stop working or not work properly as some Anti Collision LED’s have interfered with that before during testing. Just wondering if anyone has any info on this? Thanks in advance and thanks for the links to the RID Modules page. Really helps get good links to quality parts (for those who do plan to comply with the guidelines that start in September 2023.

One way to try and narrow it down is to check the frequency of the WiFi for the drone and the module. If they both are the same (say 2.4 GHZ) then it's possible there could be interference. I haven't seen anything obvious yet, but it is always possible if there are competing signals.

You have always been a voice of reason when it comes to this emotional issue and the only thing that I believe (besides cost) has been an issue is the Karen and criminal problem. This product seems to cover that 100%. Thank you for doing this great video.

Yep, this. No problem with RID except the public having access to it.

Your the man. Keep up the good fight as will we.

No, this is unique to the BlueMark module.
