I worry about this too. I have a lot of legacy drones that I've collected over the years since I started this back in 2015. I too have the Parrot Anafi and it's sad that we have to put a RID module on such a light bird. I worry about the integrity of added weight with the module. It will probably make it unsafe to fly with it! Let alone, I can't find any module avaliable so in the swoop of the moment I'm going to be an outlaw because of the outreach of this goverment. At the moment, I can't find anything in the market to buy. P.S. I bought the Air 3, my first drone with RID and it's still not on the FAA website of aircraft Declaration of Compliance for RID. This whole thing is like mom's spaghetti... it's a big sloppy mess!

Thank you for your video.. my issue is not with the module nor FAA requirement, it is with the "usability" once the broadcast module is attached to your SUAV. Reminder: The Part 107 commercial use of drones was intended to have professional pilots adhere to rules the same/similar to light aircraft operations.. just look at the examination, it's chock full of basic avionics.. weather.. pilot responsibility. At the time, it did not support adding components to your drones. Specifically stating any add-on may alter, interfere or increase personal liability when operating in any airspace. I believe and support its intention to separate drones by "category" since authorized models will be used for delivering products and will have to maintain and support a much higher standard of safety. Effectively, drones lacking this ability to support the external module are "non-compliant capable". As a commercial operator, I am forced to buy upwards thus increasing costs for business purposes. I see a hurdle having been placed that basically "grounds" drones of old, IMO.

I'm anticipating the cost of these modules to come down significantly and at some point, most/all new GPS drones will have RID built in. That doesn't solve all of the implications and headaches of course. I actually just got a hold of a Dronetag module and it's not much bigger than a quarter and weighs 6 ounces/16 grams.

The FAA will most likely need to focus on the areas of airspace where drones actually are a potential problem and you probably won't get bothered by any law enforcement or FAA officer if flying on your own large piece of land. However, the FAA has jurisdiction over the entire airspace in the US and that entire airspace (including the one over your farm) is public property.

For sure, for ppl looking to get into drones you either have to shovel out a good deal of money to get a RID-equipped drone or buy a cheaper drone but have to buy a expensive module. So you might as well save up and buy a drone with RID in my opinion. Hopefully these modules will drop in cost.

One of them is onboard integrated, the other one would have to have a module installed at this time anyway. I’m curious how this is going to play out with, for example, E-flite bind and fly aircraft. Spektrum now sells their own remote ID module, I just feel it’s going to drive the cost up and people aren’t going to want to get into it. I miss the good old days where you had to put a closepin on the channel you were flying on.. we had a chain hanging from a tree a with a channel on each link…had to put a pin on the 72 MHz channel you were using to avoid interference lol. Bittersweet for sure, I think I just miss the flexibility along with the friendly community it used to be. Now we’re all going to be watching our backs for that Karen to come along and ruin our day.

When I turned on the Dronetag Beacon the app recognized it almost immediately. When I turned on the Holystone it did not recognize it at all. The slow flashing LED is supposed to indicate that it is broadcasting, but again, the app didn't pick it up. I'm going to reach out to Holystone to see if I can get some clarification.

This came from an Amazon reviewer "Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2023 I was VERY skeptical about this item, BUT it DOES have a Declaration of Compliance from the FAA, So it MUST work, that is what I kept telling myself. AFTER reading that first review, that man tried EVERYTHING I would try. BUT I Bought it anyway, and about to send it back, after, it went right through the setup with flying colors, no issues, BUT Then like EVERYONE else I could not get a RID tracker to find it, and I think I tried 7, They would find my other Remote ID module but not the Holystone. I Thought SEND IT BACK. Then I tried one more Tablet I had, and installed the open drone ID App, and I'll be Dammed it worked, Picked up the holystone and also my other Remote ID module. the tablet that worked is a Samsung Galaxy Tab 8 I just bought at Walmart for $179.00 to Fly my New DJI Air 3 with. NOW I can check ALL my Remote ID's with it also. IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am not putting out several hundred dollars to comply on my 7 year old DJI Phantom 3. Right now I can't fly it as the lower shell succumbed to stress cracks at the motors. Trying to find a replacement shell turns out to be a bigger task than I thought it would be. No one seems to carry it anymore. So my thinking is by the time I locate a new shell, probably a used one, the demand for RID modules will have fallen off and the prices will crash. Then I will consider adding RID to this drone. My smaller drone is not worth a few hundred bucks either to be in compliance. Again, I will wait for prices to come down by a significant amount.
