If people flew their drones more responsibly faa would not have gotten involved in thr first place. We now face irreslonsible people on ebikes who are riding heavy bikes at 40+mph on sidewalks bike paths and between cars not respecting stop signs etc... the point here is whatever you do with some new tech dont attract the attention of politicians eager in elevating their careers .
No kidding! Those e bikes can be a lot more dangerous than a drone I’d say. There have been a lot of crashes around here involving them but the bike community always blames the crashes on the cars. I don’t buy that for a second. Anyway, it’s just a matter of time before they have some sort of regulation I would think. Maybe they need to put a camera on the e bike so people think they’re being spied on. Maybe that would get the attention off of drones. Hahaha
As long as you're following the law, if they do fine you for no reason it should be a win in court! So many in law enforcement today don't know or don't even care what the kaw is.
Na man. The law enforcement around here know the rules and have been trained on how to contact a drone pilot and what questions and paperwork to ask for. There’s even a drone unit with the sheriffs office for SAR and stuff like that. I’m not worried about being cited for something I didn’t do especially regarding drones. I’m a rule follower. lol. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment. God bless!
I like your title don't get caught. No problem I'll just be using a signal that's posting somebody else's remote ID lol. How far do you think drone detection system is are able to go? Most rooms are already tracked they know it's in their airspace I wish sometimes people knew what they were talking about
Awesome! Thanks so much for watching and for taking the time to comment. Shaun is a pretty cool dude. And he’s hilarious. I’ll have to thank him for his mentions. Cool stuff. God bless!
IF You honestly think that this module is going to save you from a $10,000 FAA fine, You Sir are sadly mistaken. BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING and you have just paid to provide more information to the Government !!! Greetings from Ontario, Canada.
As long as you're not breaking any laws you're fine... It's not like they're watching everyone fly their drones it's only if you get into trouble they can identify who the pilot was
Yea it’s kind of like policies at your job. You’re ok fudging the line a little bit them unless something happens and then it’s game on. $10,000 fine here we come. lol. Just kidding. Maybe not. Hmmmm.
Yes sir and more to the point we're allowed to keep affect and have anything that they have to counteract a tyrannical government. Signal jammers what have you. Unfortunately he just have to build your own.
I have to say, that 39.99 to save you a $10,000 fine is well worth it whether the darn thing works or not lol! Also, it was well worth watching you have to do a little bit of walking around Kevin lol Great job
lol thanks, Jason. I definitely need the exercise. I was surprised kelshaw wanted to follow me with the camera because he already walked and was pretty tired. Hahaha. And, max, I guess that could work. 😆
@@maxheadroom1506well unfortunately I'm sure that DJI drone is registered to him lol You only need RFID if your drone is heavier than 250 g or you're making money off your drone
Daniel, it’s just at a regulation the FAA in the USA had to implement because someone in congress got a wild hair. It’s just a way for them to monitor the drones in the sky.
lol I hear that. There’s more regulations on drones nowadays than ever and I’m sure they’ll be bringing in even more in the future. Boooo!!! I’m just glad this requirement seems to be getting a bit more affordable. Best of luck getting the cob webs off the drones by the way. It’s like riding a bike. Hahaha.
Heck yea, Norm! It’s definitely a great price but like you said, if you’re recreational I wouldn’t worry about it either. The tracking feature is pretty cool but I think the find my drone feature continues to work on the DJI drones even if the drone is off. I may have to test that. lol
So just to make sure. If you have dji mini 4 pro and battery under 250g you dont need any faa 107 license or Id tracking or anything right? They cannot track you right?
Hey Kevin. Thanks for watching and for the question. You’re correct. If you’re flying for recreational purposes only you don’t need a part 107 license. If you’re flying for recreational purposes and your drone weighs less than 250 grams, you don’t need remote ID either. The mini 4 pro has built in remote ID but it’s only activated by installing the heavier “plus” batteries which is what we have for Dwight.
Yea I’m not sure if the FAA is even looking for these signals yet. I honestly think it’s just a scare tactic at the moment but I could be totally wrong. I’ve noticed DJI has really gotten tough with their geo zones, too. I live right by one and can’t fly 200 feet away from the house now. Lol
YOU ARE DAD-GUM AMAZING! I haven't flown my other drone, because I didn't want to spend so much money! Thanks Kevin! I don't want the drone poe-poe coming after me!👮🏻
Hahaha. Amazing may be an overstatement. Dad-gum is dead on though. lol. Those drone stalkers won’t wanna mess with these modules. They’ll see the broadcast and immediately turn around and go home. I’m not sure what I mean by that but I’m running low on wit this morning. Haha
Thanks for the video. I received mine yesterday for the NEO (delivery in a month) and was debating if I should buy another for the Mini 4 Pro, 15:59 so I can use the .249 batteries. Your video verified it works. Should be interesting if I forget to turn it off and stick a Plus battery in.
Awesome!!! I have to say I like this module a lot. Did you get the Ruko or another brand? We demonstrated the Holy Stone module briefly a while back and learned the info it displayed wasnt even close to perfect. lol. This one seems a bit more accurate. I guess none of them can be perfect but if you’re using it to track a lost drone, I’d prefer this one. I was telling wife if we get the Neo, people are gonna lose their crap when I put a module on it. They freak out every time I mention it on the mini 2!!! Hahaha. I’m a rule follower so they can get over it. lol.
lol you’re right about that. Fortunately for us we’re on the Atlantic coast so we won’t be getting the brunt of the storm. Prayers for the gulf coast for sure.
Nice price on that Ruko ID module and a nice feature to boot. The whole thing about the RID rule is crap 😠Haha. Nice job on the review and test. You two are funny and good together. Still taking treatment and going well so far. The best part is I only have two weeks to go 😊. That care, God bless and be safe. 🙏🙏
I agree about this RID stuff being crap, Dave! I’m a rule follower so I gotta do it though. lol. I do wonder if they’re even paying attention to it or if there’s been anyone cited for not being compliant. We’ll know eventually I reckon but honestly I don’t see anyone hardly using these modules on TH-cam. Maybe they’re special. Haha. I’m glad to hear you’re handling the treatment well so far, man. I bet you can’t wait for it to be finished and in the rear view mirror, eh? We’ve been praying for you and a solid recovery. I hate to say this but I have to. I’ll be retired before you’re finished. Hahaha. Sorry man. Had to say it.
@@WeretheRoberts I'm a rules follower too for the most part and both my drones have RID already, so I've never needed a module. But if I would this would probably be the one. I'm a cheap you know what lol. As far as your retiring before I finish that's great. Have fun in your retirement man. 😀
That remote ID is definitely a bit smaller than the holystone which is perfect for the mini series drones. I have the holystone remote ID which I share with my Mini 2 and Mini 3 because I fly for recreational purposes only but I would like to purchase another remote ID so don't have to switch drone information everytime I fly. The accuracy is not perfect but at least it's close enough. Thanks for sharing another great video Kevin. God bless.
Oh yea it’s definitely smaller than the holy stone. It weighs a gram and a half or so less, too which could make a difference. Unfortunately the 13.5 gram weight still puts the Mini 2 over the 250 mark but the mini drone Ruko has, the U11 mini, weighs significantly less so it’s still under 250. Anyway, I think they’ve done well with this one. I know a lot of people are fighting it but I’m a rule follower. Hahaha.
@@TheDroneRanger215 ok, I didn't know that. Yea I am still using an original mavic mini. I want to fly at night but if I put my strobe on it puts it 7 grams overweight. Been trying to figure out how to shed those 7 grams.
@@itsmewoodG I have flown the Mini 2 with strobe lights on and kept it under the weight limit using firehouse strobe lights. I just took the casing off and velcro it to the drone. In the end I just ended up registering it. It's really no big deal. Just gotta add a remote ID module to be compliant.
Great video brother , although it doesn’t apply to me it was a good watch and useful it has the tracking on it ! Be nice if it had a bleeper on it too so once you got nearby you could hear it! It looks like the nearer you are to the module the less accurate it is? All in all pretty good though for the money! Have a great week brother and keep them coming! 👍👏👏
Heck yea man. You said exactly what I was thinking about baton the accuracy at close proximity and also about the bleeper. If I relied solely on the map, I never would’ve found it. lol. I’m lucky he didn’t put it in a tree. Hahaha
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. There’s been a lot of videos released about that possibility but the last info I saw was we are still safe at least through 2025. I’ve really not followed it too closely but it seems like it may possibly resurface one of these days though.
Pretty smart RID module for the price including the extra feature. With the drones that have this built in I guess you could attach an apple tag. A lot more money tho 😅 good to see kelshaw back in the video 👍 keep safe man
lol yea I can see this tracking feature being necessary for a were the roberts flight. Haha. I’ve never used an apple tag but I’ve read their range isn’t too far. Someone mentioned this module has a short range but it’s supposed to be nearly 2500 feet. I ain’t flying any further than that. lol. I see a test in there somewhere. Kelshaw and I always have a good time when we do a video. The best part is usually lunch though. Hahaha. Apparently I like company when making a video.
So Kevin, how does it work with the weight. Doesn't it push it over the 240g. Here in Canada if it's over the 249g you need a license from Transport Canada. Like # 103!!!
That’s a great question, Dave. This module weighs 13.5 grams so it’ll put the Mini 2 over the 250 gram mark. It’s soooo close, too. Our Mini 2 is only over that mark by 1.5 grams. lol. So close. So unfortunately it would need to be registered with the FAA. We don’t need a special license just to fly a heavier drone though. They just need registered. It’s cheap though. $5 for 3 years.
From what I understand, recreational pilots can use one module and swap it from drone to drone but part 107 operators have to have a dedicated remote if module for each drone. Booooo!!! lol
@WeretheRoberts I do have my part 107 but I did not know you needed one dedicated module per drone if needed! Thanks for the heads up! Keep up the great content!
Awesome question. The RID has a fixed ID number but the info it displays can be edited. You can add your personal info like your name if you wish or you can nickname it, too. It’s pretty user friendly. I didn’t really add any info on it for this demo so it was mostly blank but it has a few different fields to fill out if you wish. I don’t believe any of it is required per the FAA though but they do require it to be registered for certain drones.
Have your found it important where you mount the module? Holystone has put out a chart on where to place their module on their drones to prevent interference with the GPS in the drone. I don't think I have seen on for DJI drones. Might be an idea for a video - seeing if module location matters for drone performance.
That’s a great question, Pete. I’ve seriously had no problems related to where I’ve mounted the module or at least that I can say were direct results of its position. Ruko also has a chart showing where to mount them on their drones, too but I disobeyed their chart and did what I wanted. Hahaha. I’ve heard repeatedly my modules are right on top of the gps receivers on the Mini 2 drones and who knows? Maybe Rose’s bad landing results were related to that but I haven’t had a repeat of that since I took off the gimbal hood thing. I’m pretty sure if I were to fly out far enough there would be some interference with something on the drone but I don’t go out past 1500-2000 feet max anymore. I’m now a rule follower. Hahahaha. I just don’t wanna get dinged for something we all know is against the rules. Could that be considered a sell out? lol. I do like your video idea and it’s going on the list for sure! Maybe when I do this and show it doesn’t interfere I’ll stop getting those comments saying I’m an idiot. Hahahaha. Don’t worry though. I’ll screw something else up soon enough for them to jump back on the comments. lol Thanks for watching as always, Pete! God bless.
I feel your pain, Kevin! I've also stepped in stuff that my feet didn't like. Counting the days until retirement should but you at well under a dozen! 😊
Yea fortunately for now the mini 2 is safe from this requirement but I wouldn’t be surprised if they mandated it for every drone out there soon whether recreational or commercial.
Occasionally check the FAA drone list for compliance. The Mini 2 isn’t exempt. DJI likely just updated the firmware to provide the required data. (Same as the Mini 4 does that I have.) Other drones may also do the same.
lol not Michigan. You may not believe me but Michigan is the only lower 48 state I’ve not been to. Grew up in WV and my dad used to go salmon fishing there once a year with some buddies but he never took me. lol. We’re planning a trip up that way starting next spring though so I’m hoping to knock it off my list. We are in Florida just north of Daytona beach. Not nearly as nice an area as Macinack island. Hahaha
I am not 107 certified yet so why would you need this on a drone that is bellow .55lb's? Is that a regulation that all 107s need a license plate? Im not fully tracking i guess. Is this only if you are flying above 400?
Hey there Tyler. Thanks for watching and for the comment. I probably should’ve been more clear in my explanation on here. Most people who watch our channel regularly know I screw stuff up pretty regularly. Hahaha. Anyway, if you’re only flying recreationally and the drone is less than .55 lbs, you don’t need to be remote ID compliant. The only requirements for remote id are if you’re flying commercially under Part 107 or if your drone weighs more than 250 grams. Basically what I was trying to say here is this would be good for anyone to have on any of their drones because it’s just an added layer of protection to find your drone if it’s lost. It has a separate find my drone feature that most remote ID modules don’t have. Hope this helps clear up the mud I caused. lol. God bless and thanks again for watching.
@WeretheRoberts all good man I'm just getting into this stuff just as a hobby who knows how far I plan to go with it. But thank you for the content and the fast response. Have a happy Thanksgiving my friend
Hahahaha. That’s hilarious! I gotta say mine still works perfectly and does what it’s supposed to. I’m glad they’ve come down even more in price but I’m still irritated the FAA keeps nickel and diming is. lol keep us in the loop and let us know how you like it. Fortunately I’ve not had to use the find feature in real life yet. Haha
Great question, man. They say it has a 500-800 meter range. I didn’t test it to see if it was accurate but I may do that in the future. I was too focused on finding the drone when kelshaw hid it before someone stole it. Hahaha.
The mini 4 recognizes the plus batteries when they’re installed in the drone and that activates the internal RId inside the drone. It’s pretty cool but I wish there was a way to activate the RID with the regular batteries, too because a lot of guys use the Mini 4 pro for commercial stuff. They need the RID so they either have to get plus batteries or they need a module. Kinda sucks
OK the mimi 2 has remote id built in as does any newer dji drone. So I'm confused as to why it's on them they also have an option built in called find my drone
Well I meet finaly Jack, the Mini 2!!! I feel it a little noise, maybe are my ears. Any way, I still prefer Rose. About the RDI you can check the accurancy using, not their own but other from the market for scanning RDI’s. I’m sure you know which ones I’m refering to. Have a nice day and God bless you.
lol Jack has always behaved perfectly and that old fly app update we have him on has never had a glitch. At least that I know of. Haha. I maybe should’ve demonstrated the other RID scanner apps like Drone Scanner, but yes you can use those other apps to follow the drone. I do like that they have their own app though. They can fine tune things on their own and don’t have to rely on another company. Thanks for watching , buddy and God bless you guys as well
1640 to 2624 is not that far away for tracking. lol Love your face when you tried to attached it.Yep I have folder on my phone also called drone. lol Good Video!
lol Kelshaw must’ve laughed for 10 minutes when that happened. I had to edit a lot of it out because he wouldn’t stop laughing. And he made me have to change out a GoPro battery. Hahaha. If I can give anyone some advice here, “Drone Stuff” is the most important folder on my phone. Lol
@driewiel geez man. Sounds like you guys have as many or more rules than we do over here even. Government everywhere is way too involved in this hobby.
OK, my $10K is safe. No Modules, No Drones, No FAA stuff to deal with. OH NO, 😮 I do have Pearl and she may go shopping now that we do not have to worry about fines. 💰👗👛👜🛍
@EastCoastThrills yea it’s still good for that but they limited the forecast to only 3 hours. I like to look further for possible weather conditions and with air data you can look several days ahead. It seems a bit more accurate, too but I guess that’s just an opinion. lol. I’m definitely not an expert on weather so I could be totally wrong. Haha
Yea I guess it would depending on the weight of your drone. I was pretty disappointed, man. The mini 2 is 1.5 grams too heavy for this to keep it under 250. lol. Ruko has a small drone (U11 Mini) that actually weighs so little it’s still under 250 with this module though so there are some drones that it wouldn’t hurt.
Wow a Kevin overload, whilst watching this my Jack Russel Kevin is near me too 😂 We don’t have FAA over here but I think you need some sort of licence to fly over 250gram drones. I’m impressed with it being used as a drone tracker if you lose it, or is it more for the American market ?
Hahahaha. Yea I was gonna wait to release this one for next week but I had a deadline. lol. Kevin is a great name for a Jack Russel. Who’d thought? lol. I agree too about the tracking feature of this module. That’s a pretty good idea and they have opened up their potential market to the fixed wing rc planes and that whole group. Smart move. I hate having to use these things but they have really helped out with that price. Honesty though I was looking around on Amazon and saw holy stone has come down, too so maybe these companies are deciding to stop price gouging us. lol
@@WeretheRoberts I’m not sure if my CFLY has a “find my drone” system built in. I just haven’t had much chance to fly it with working, then our weather systems. We’re nearly into autumn (fall) now, I’m hoping for some crisp colourful mornings etc. Did I ever say about the time I flew it and the remote lost signal with it? It was 200 yards down the road in somebody’s front garden, thankfully not damaged. Then the gimbal issue. Hmm 🤔
Booooo!!! lol. I really don’t think it’s too big of a deal but I don’t like the added expense. It’s nice to see the price is going down though for sure. Thanks so much for watching and for the info, buddy. God bless!
Hahahaha. I asked kelshaw to put it in that plastic bag to protect it from the wet ground and rain but secretly it was so nobody would steal it. I mean, like anyone’s gonna actually pick up a bag on the ground right? Nobody picks up trash. Hahaha.
lol yea we have the plus batteries with our Mini 4 pro, too. I wish DJI would’ve incorporated the internal module with the mini 2 drones like they did with some older models. That would’ve been cool.
Awesome! Thanks, Chris. Ruko is coming out with some really good products lately. They’re sending me a 65 watt charging block and another drone to try out in a few weeks. They keep pumping out new products. I’m sure they’ll be banned too eventually. lol.
gotta say, that park is the trashiest place i've seen in a while... as you walked to find the module, there was constantly bottles and cups in frame.. by the time one item was gone from view, another was showing up. people are pigs but, the module is pretty cool. too bad there aren't $10,000.00 fines for littering !
lol no kidding! It’s right behind a gas station and people don’t care anymore. Sad. Looking back, it seems like it was a good idea to put the drone in that plastic bag. I was thinking of protecting it from the rain but it was definitely safe from theft. It’s not like anyone picks up the trash around there. lol. Hopefully it’ll be cleaned up one of these days.
You failed to mention several points. First of all, remote ID is not required for drones weighing less than 250 grams. (About.5 lb.). If your drone weighs more than that then you must be registered with the FAA and affix your FAA I D on your aircraft, which you obviously didn’t do.
lol thanks for watching and commenting. Just a heads up, the info you mentioned is 100% affixed to all of my drones in a conspicuous location as required by the FAA. Hope this clears up the confusion and puts you at a little more ease. God bless!
Well Kevin, I wouldn't recommend that Ruko RID thingy. Yes, it's cheap, but cheap ain't worth it, the DJI Mini 4 Pro Fly More Combo is $1,159.00. I wouldn't trust that cheap Ruko RID unit on Aerith. Just my opinion, and as you well know, we all have one. Peace brother!
lol I understand where you’re coming from. I’m hoping I never have to use it as a tracker and if I need a tracker I would hope the find my drone feature would still work. To me this is just a back up for that but the more important thing to me is to be complaint. As long as it’s emitting the info I’m safe, right? Makes me hungry just thinking about it. Haha.
Why not just buy a drone that already has it built in then you don't have to spend another hundred bucks or whatever it cost and then have it attached to your drone maybe you want to put something else in that space like some anti-collision lights.
lol great point and I agree whole heartedly. I think I look at it like these modules are for people who already had the drones without remote ID when the requirement came out. lol. We had the mini 2 drones long before I ever heard of remote ID.
Yea as studio421 said, several of the Mini drones don’t have it built in. The Mini 4 pro does but it’s only activated when it detects the plus size batteries. If you’re using the regular sub 250 batteries, the RID won’t emit the info. I wish there was a way to manually activate and deactivate it though. Fortunately we have the plus batteries in our 4 pro so we don’t need a module for that drone.
Hey there. No im not saying that. I was only mentioning Holy Stone to compare the size difference. I have 3 of the holy stone modules and they work OK. I do have to admit this one seems more accurate though. Holy Stone is definitely still a great option, too.
@@WeretheRoberts Thanks for the clarification...Since Avata 2 is pretty newer and it does not need the remote id as it is already have built in, correct?
Sorry, I'm not going to believe anything that they government says about this. I'm going to fly anyway. The government has better things to do than worry about drones. Or the man power it takes to keep up with all the drones anyway 🤷
You’re probably right about them having better things to do than worry about drones. I’m a rule follower though so I don’t mind using the remote ID modules. Whatever helps keep the spotlight off of us I reckon.
That’s a really good idea. Someone mentioned the apple tag, also. That’s definitely a great solution if you don’t need remote ID. Thanks for watching, buddy. God bless!!!
@@WeretheRoberts global. Air tag works by bluetooth proximity to iphones and when you get really close it guides you within 3 inches of the air tag. You can also activate a chirp on the tag. Tag lasts over a year and has replaceable battery. I airtag my kids in public places
It's not a law it's a rule Only Congress can make laws. So since you have the right to carry a firearm constitutionally maybe you should go pay somebody for a permit lol It doesn't make any sense
Hey, Florida passed the concealed carry without a permit recently. As long as you can legally possess a firearm, you can carry it concealed without a permit. Im good with that
So if you put one these on someone's car and they're driving in a restricted area the government will come and get them? 🤔 I like it. My neighbor's a crat.
Well I'm not saying I would break the rules but I definitely wouldn't break the law. Thank goodness the FAA don't make laws Only Congress does that. I know offense but I'm just the fact that you complied you not only gave up your rights but he made it harder for other people. You have the right to travel privately with your possessions and effects that include your drones. The signal from your remote ID can be blocked faked retransmitted on somebody else's drone giving away your operating location to psychos is not good idea. There's a lot of stuff they need to correct they also have many other ways of dealing with it than this
lol thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. That’s what’s awesome about the USA. We all have the right to make our own decisions and approach life as we see best, right? I say as long as I’m glorifying God and giving him all the praise, I’m good. God bless and thanks again for watching.
They just passed more regulation on DJI so I don't mees with them or the larger quads anymore. They're all outdated anyway. I recently started Micro and they've come a long way over the past 10 er so years!
They’re all over DJI right now, eh? I’m still hopeful the ban is delayed or doesn’t happen so we’ll see how it progresses. Is Micro a brand? I’ve not heard of them before.

FAA was not hot on remote ID, but Congress required it in the FAA reauthorization bill. I need one of those for my airplane.
Ah I wasn’t aware of how it came to be but either way it’s here to stay I reckon, eh? I’m just glad they’re getting a bit more affordable.

IF You honestly think that this module is going to save you from a $10,000 FAA fine, You Sir are sadly mistaken. BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING and you have just paid to provide more information to the Government !!! Greetings from Ontario, Canada.
Lol I’d say you’re probably right. If they wanna get you, they’ll articulate it in a way to get you.
As long as you're not breaking any laws you're fine...
It's not like they're watching everyone fly their drones it's only if you get into trouble they can identify who the pilot was
Yea it’s kind of like policies at your job. You’re ok fudging the line a little bit them unless something happens and then it’s game on. $10,000 fine here we come. lol. Just kidding. Maybe not. Hmmmm.
Yes sir and more to the point we're allowed to keep affect and have anything that they have to counteract a tyrannical government. Signal jammers what have you. Unfortunately he just have to build your own.
I believe the pressure indicator is how high you above sea level. Like a altimeter in a aircraft.
Ah ok. There were a couple of sections listed there I had no idea about. I never claimed to know much. Hahaha.
I have to say, that 39.99 to save you a $10,000 fine is well worth it whether the darn thing works or not lol! Also, it was well worth watching you have to do a little bit of walking around Kevin lol Great job
Deny the drone is yours and you will avoid 10K fine
lol thanks, Jason. I definitely need the exercise. I was surprised kelshaw wanted to follow me with the camera because he already walked and was pretty tired. Hahaha.
And, max, I guess that could work. 😆
@@maxheadroom1506well unfortunately I'm sure that DJI drone is registered to him lol
You only need RFID if your drone is heavier than 250 g or you're making money off your drone
@@WeretheRoberts nie do końca wiem do czego ma to być? I za co ktoś miał być płacić karę 10 tys dolarów.
Daniel, it’s just at a regulation the FAA in the USA had to implement because someone in congress got a wild hair. It’s just a way for them to monitor the drones in the sky.
I'm getting one to try. Haven't flown any of my drones in a couple of years. I'll at least be trying to obey the overbearing laws.
lol I hear that. There’s more regulations on drones nowadays than ever and I’m sure they’ll be bringing in even more in the future. Boooo!!! I’m just glad this requirement seems to be getting a bit more affordable. Best of luck getting the cob webs off the drones by the way. It’s like riding a bike. Hahaha.
I also wasn’t going to spend big bucks for RFID. Under $40 could convince me.
But I’m a recreational flyer under 250 so I don’t sweat it.
Heck yea, Norm! It’s definitely a great price but like you said, if you’re recreational I wouldn’t worry about it either. The tracking feature is pretty cool but I think the find my drone feature continues to work on the DJI drones even if the drone is off. I may have to test that. lol
I bought the mini 4 pro fly more combo plus. It weighs more than 250 g cause of the larger battery. It has built-in RFID 😢😢
@@samholdsworth420lol Sam. I have the same plus
Batteries in the mini 4 pro.
So just to make sure. If you have dji mini 4 pro and battery under 250g you dont need any faa 107 license or Id tracking or anything right? They cannot track you right?
Hey Kevin. Thanks for watching and for the question. You’re correct. If you’re flying for recreational purposes only you don’t need a part 107 license. If you’re flying for recreational purposes and your drone weighs less than 250 grams, you don’t need remote ID either. The mini 4 pro has built in remote ID but it’s only activated by installing the heavier “plus” batteries which is what we have for Dwight.
in other test the RID might limited to 15,850 ft hearing (3mi) since cell app's might pick up the toy loose signal b4 the FAA catch in wrong zone
Yea I’m not sure if the FAA is even looking for these signals yet. I honestly think it’s just a scare tactic at the moment but I could be totally wrong. I’ve noticed DJI has really gotten tough with their geo zones, too. I live right by one and can’t fly 200 feet away from the house now. Lol
YOU ARE DAD-GUM AMAZING! I haven't flown my other drone, because I didn't want to spend so much money! Thanks Kevin! I don't want the drone poe-poe coming after me!👮🏻
Hahaha. Amazing may be an overstatement. Dad-gum is dead on though. lol. Those drone stalkers won’t wanna mess with these modules. They’ll see the broadcast and immediately turn around and go home. I’m not sure what I mean by that but I’m running low on wit this morning. Haha
Thanks for the video. I received mine yesterday for the NEO (delivery in a month) and was debating if I should buy another for the Mini 4 Pro, 15:59 so I can use the .249 batteries. Your video verified it works. Should be interesting if I forget to turn it off and stick a Plus battery in.
Awesome!!! I have to say I like this module a lot. Did you get the Ruko or another brand? We demonstrated the Holy Stone module briefly a while back and learned the info it displayed wasnt even close to perfect. lol. This one seems a bit more accurate. I guess none of them can be perfect but if you’re using it to track a lost drone, I’d prefer this one. I was telling wife if we get the Neo, people are gonna lose their crap when I put a module on it. They freak out every time I mention it on the mini 2!!! Hahaha. I’m a rule follower so they can get over it. lol.
Be safe. That rain your driving in now, looks to be nothing compared in the days to come.
lol you’re right about that. Fortunately for us we’re on the Atlantic coast so we won’t be getting the brunt of the storm. Prayers for the gulf coast for sure.
Nice price on that Ruko ID module and a nice feature to boot. The whole thing about the RID rule is crap 😠Haha. Nice job on the review and test. You two are funny and good together. Still taking treatment and going well so far. The best part is I only have two weeks to go 😊. That care, God bless and be safe. 🙏🙏
I agree about this RID stuff being crap, Dave! I’m a rule follower so I gotta do it though. lol. I do wonder if they’re even paying attention to it or if there’s been anyone cited for not being compliant. We’ll know eventually I reckon but honestly I don’t see anyone hardly using these modules on TH-cam. Maybe they’re special. Haha.
I’m glad to hear you’re handling the treatment well so far, man. I bet you can’t wait for it to be finished and in the rear view mirror, eh? We’ve been praying for you and a solid recovery. I hate to say this but I have to. I’ll be retired before you’re finished. Hahaha. Sorry man. Had to say it.
@@WeretheRoberts I'm a rules follower too for the most part and both my drones have RID already, so I've never needed a module. But if I would this would probably be the one. I'm a cheap you know what lol.
As far as your retiring before I finish that's great. Have fun in your retirement man. 😀
Hahaha. I’m cheap, too!
That remote ID is definitely a bit smaller than the holystone which is perfect for the mini series drones. I have the holystone remote ID which I share with my Mini 2 and Mini 3 because I fly for recreational purposes only but I would like to purchase another remote ID so don't have to switch drone information everytime I fly. The accuracy is not perfect but at least it's close enough. Thanks for sharing another great video Kevin. God bless.
Oh yea it’s definitely smaller than the holy stone. It weighs a gram and a half or so less, too which could make a difference. Unfortunately the 13.5 gram weight still puts the Mini 2 over the 250 mark but the mini drone Ruko has, the U11 mini, weighs significantly less so it’s still under 250. Anyway, I think they’ve done well with this one. I know a lot of people are fighting it but I’m a rule follower. Hahaha.
If you are flying only recreational, and I know the mini 2 is sub 250 gram, not sure on the mini 3. You don't need any remote ID.
@@itsmewoodG only if you use the extended flight batteries on the Mini 3 and Mini 4. Remote ID will automatically activate.
@@TheDroneRanger215 ok, I didn't know that. Yea I am still using an original mavic mini. I want to fly at night but if I put my strobe on it puts it 7 grams overweight. Been trying to figure out how to shed those 7 grams.
@@itsmewoodG I have flown the Mini 2 with strobe lights on and kept it under the weight limit using firehouse strobe lights. I just took the casing off and velcro it to the drone. In the end I just ended up registering it. It's really no big deal. Just gotta add a remote ID module to be compliant.
Great video brother , although it doesn’t apply to me it was a good watch and useful it has the tracking on it ! Be nice if it had a bleeper on it too so once you got nearby you could hear it! It looks like the nearer you are to the module the less accurate it is? All in all pretty good though for the money! Have a great week brother and keep them coming! 👍👏👏
Heck yea man. You said exactly what I was thinking about baton the accuracy at close proximity and also about the bleeper. If I relied solely on the map, I never would’ve found it. lol. I’m lucky he didn’t put it in a tree. Hahaha
i heard that dji was being ban in the USA is that true?
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. There’s been a lot of videos released about that possibility but the last info I saw was we are still safe at least through 2025. I’ve really not followed it too closely but it seems like it may possibly resurface one of these days though.
Pretty smart RID module for the price including the extra feature. With the drones that have this built in I guess you could attach an apple tag. A lot more money tho 😅 good to see kelshaw back in the video 👍 keep safe man
lol yea I can see this tracking feature being necessary for a were the roberts flight. Haha. I’ve never used an apple tag but I’ve read their range isn’t too far. Someone mentioned this module has a short range but it’s supposed to be nearly 2500 feet. I ain’t flying any further than that. lol. I see a test in there somewhere. Kelshaw and I always have a good time when we do a video. The best part is usually lunch though. Hahaha. Apparently I like company when making a video.
So Kevin, how does it work with the weight. Doesn't it push it over the 240g. Here in Canada if it's over the 249g you need a license from Transport Canada. Like # 103!!!
That’s a great question, Dave. This module weighs 13.5 grams so it’ll put the Mini 2 over the 250 gram mark. It’s soooo close, too. Our Mini 2 is only over that mark by 1.5 grams. lol. So close. So unfortunately it would need to be registered with the FAA. We don’t need a special license just to fly a heavier drone though. They just need registered. It’s cheap though. $5 for 3 years.
Remote id is only required if the drone weighs more than 249g but modern drones that do weigh more already have remote id built into themselves
Can you buy just one module and swap it from drone to Drone?
From what I understand, recreational pilots can use one module and swap it from drone to drone but part 107 operators have to have a dedicated remote if module for each drone. Booooo!!! lol
@WeretheRoberts I do have my part 107 but I did not know you needed one dedicated module per drone if needed! Thanks for the heads up! Keep up the great content!
Love your buddy’s shirt. I live 2 hours from the bridge.
lol awesome!!! Kelshaw is a pretty cool dude, eh? I like that he laughs at my jokes. Hahaha
Excellent video congratulations 🎉 watching you from Rio de Janeiro Brazil 🇧🇷
Very cool!!! Thanks so much for watching and commenting. We really appreciate your support and kind words. God bless Brazil! :)
Great video as always! Has the device a fixed remote ID or can you edit it?
Awesome question. The RID has a fixed ID number but the info it displays can be edited. You can add your personal info like your name if you wish or you can nickname it, too. It’s pretty user friendly. I didn’t really add any info on it for this demo so it was mostly blank but it has a few different fields to fill out if you wish. I don’t believe any of it is required per the FAA though but they do require it to be registered for certain drones.
Have your found it important where you mount the module? Holystone has put out a chart on where to place their module on their drones to prevent interference with the GPS in the drone. I don't think I have seen on for DJI drones. Might be an idea for a video - seeing if module location matters for drone performance.
That’s a great question, Pete. I’ve seriously had no problems related to where I’ve mounted the module or at least that I can say were direct results of its position. Ruko also has a chart showing where to mount them on their drones, too but I disobeyed their chart and did what I wanted. Hahaha. I’ve heard repeatedly my modules are right on top of the gps receivers on the Mini 2 drones and who knows? Maybe Rose’s bad landing results were related to that but I haven’t had a repeat of that since I took off the gimbal hood thing. I’m pretty sure if I were to fly out far enough there would be some interference with something on the drone but I don’t go out past 1500-2000 feet max anymore. I’m now a rule follower. Hahahaha. I just don’t wanna get dinged for something we all know is against the rules. Could that be considered a sell out? lol. I do like your video idea and it’s going on the list for sure! Maybe when I do this and show it doesn’t interfere I’ll stop getting those comments saying I’m an idiot. Hahahaha. Don’t worry though. I’ll screw something else up soon enough for them to jump back on the comments. lol Thanks for watching as always, Pete! God bless.
I feel your pain, Kevin! I've also stepped in stuff that my feet didn't like. Counting the days until retirement should but you at well under a dozen! 😊
lol nothing more uncomfortable than wet flip flops. Hahaha. 9 days now!
When they do that here in the USA. I'm not flying any more. I got the mini 2 bc I thought a lot of the rules would not apply.
Yea fortunately for now the mini 2 is safe from this requirement but I wouldn’t be surprised if they mandated it for every drone out there soon whether recreational or commercial.
Occasionally check the FAA drone list for compliance. The Mini 2 isn’t exempt. DJI likely just updated the firmware to provide the required data. (Same as the Mini 4 does that I have.) Other drones may also do the same.
Macinack Island tee? Are you all in mich?
lol not Michigan. You may not believe me but Michigan is the only lower 48 state I’ve not been to. Grew up in WV and my dad used to go salmon fishing there once a year with some buddies but he never took me. lol. We’re planning a trip up that way starting next spring though so I’m hoping to knock it off my list. We are in Florida just north of Daytona beach. Not nearly as nice an area as Macinack island. Hahaha
Only need remote id if you fly a drone larger than 249g and all modern drone have them built in that need them
Good point, Bryan. I need them on the smaller drones too though since I’m flying under part 107. That’s a bummer. lol.
No one knows what the fines are because they never stop or care about it at all.
lol you may be surprised. Where we are the Sheriffs Office is trained regarding drones and the citizens here like to complain. Haha.
I am not 107 certified yet so why would you need this on a drone that is bellow .55lb's? Is that a regulation that all 107s need a license plate? Im not fully tracking i guess. Is this only if you are flying above 400?
Hey there Tyler. Thanks for watching and for the comment. I probably should’ve been more clear in my explanation on here. Most people who watch our channel regularly know I screw stuff up pretty regularly. Hahaha. Anyway, if you’re only flying recreationally and the drone is less than .55 lbs, you don’t need to be remote ID compliant. The only requirements for remote id are if you’re flying commercially under Part 107 or if your drone weighs more than 250 grams. Basically what I was trying to say here is this would be good for anyone to have on any of their drones because it’s just an added layer of protection to find your drone if it’s lost. It has a separate find my drone feature that most remote ID modules don’t have. Hope this helps clear up the mud I caused. lol. God bless and thanks again for watching.
@WeretheRoberts all good man I'm just getting into this stuff just as a hobby who knows how far I plan to go with it. But thank you for the content and the fast response. Have a happy Thanksgiving my friend
@@tylerthrash3155good deal. Happy thanksgiving back!
Im not sure I need it, but I bought one.

I’m glad they’ve come down even more in price but I’m still irritated the FAA keeps nickel and diming is. lol keep us in the loop and let us know how you like it. Fortunately I’ve not had to use the find feature in real life yet. Haha
Why put a seperate Remote ID on a DJI drone that already has Remote ID..
lol no idea why someone would do that.
Kevin, how far from the drone can this device track the location of the drone?
Great question, man. They say it has a 500-800 meter range. I didn’t test it to see if it was accurate but I may do that in the future. I was too focused on finding the drone when kelshaw hid it before someone stole it. Hahaha.
@@WeretheRoberts Well, there’s your next video! Thanks Kevin and Kelshaw. Fun watching you guys!😊
I like it! Kelshaw is a hoot by the way. lol
Oh and that test is now on the list. lol. Thanks for the idea, buddy!
It sure doesn't look good on the drone Kevin, none of those things do! Can I spray paint mine the same color as Aerith?
lol yea all of these modules are unattractive that’s for sure. I don’t see why you couldn’t try to camouflage it somehow though.
@@WeretheRoberts Make a “How to Camouflage the RID On Your Mini 4 Pro” and use Dwight! 😂😂😂
@TC_Conner lol. Dwight don’t need one. We have the plus batteries. Haha
@@WeretheRoberts Oh, the + batts have RID?
The mini 4 recognizes the plus batteries when they’re installed in the drone and that activates the internal RId inside the drone. It’s pretty cool but I wish there was a way to activate the RID with the regular batteries, too because a lot of guys use the Mini 4 pro for commercial stuff. They need the RID so they either have to get plus batteries or they need a module. Kinda sucks
OK the mimi 2 has remote id built in as does any newer dji drone. So I'm confused as to why it's on them they also have an option built in called find my drone
Thanks for watching and commenting, Jason. Regarding the Mini 2, unfortunately it doesn’t have built in remote ID.
The mini 2 doesn’t require remote id, no drone thats not more than 249g requires remote id
@@bryanmiller476yea you’re right but unfortunately since I fly these drones under part 107 for TH-cam videos, I have to have it in them. Boooo! Lol
Well I meet finaly Jack, the Mini 2!!! I feel it a little noise, maybe are my ears. Any way, I still prefer Rose. About the RDI you can check the accurancy using, not their own but other from the market for scanning RDI’s. I’m sure you know which ones I’m refering to. Have a nice day and God bless you.
lol Jack has always behaved perfectly and that old fly app update we have him on has never had a glitch. At least that I know of. Haha. I maybe should’ve demonstrated the other RID scanner apps like Drone Scanner, but yes you can use those other apps to follow the drone. I do like that they have their own app though. They can fine tune things on their own and don’t have to rely on another company. Thanks for watching , buddy and God bless you guys as well
1640 to 2624 is not that far away for tracking. lol Love your face when you tried to attached it.Yep I have folder on my phone also called drone. lol Good Video!
lol Kelshaw must’ve laughed for 10 minutes when that happened. I had to edit a lot of it out because he wouldn’t stop laughing. And he made me have to change out a GoPro battery. Hahaha. If I can give anyone some advice here, “Drone Stuff” is the most important folder on my phone. Lol
In Europe you need Remote ID with network connection for drones over 250 grams. This Ruko module won't do. Can't even buy it here.
Is that the Wi-Fi type connection you’re talking about? Like what DJI has?
@@WeretheRoberts Not sure to be honest. But basically it means your drone's location can be found from anywhere through the phone network.
@driewiel ah so there’s no limit. At least with these Bluetooth modules there’s a short range. Lol.
@@WeretheRoberts And of course we have to register for all drones if it has a camera of mass destruction. This means also a Tello or something.
@driewiel geez man. Sounds like you guys have as many or more rules than we do over here even. Government everywhere is way too involved in this hobby.
OK, my $10K is safe. No Modules, No Drones, No FAA stuff to deal with. OH NO, 😮 I do have Pearl and she may go shopping now that we do not have to worry about fines. 💰👗👛👜🛍

I don’t see UAV FORECAST APP ON YOUR DRONE STUFF !
lol. It’s there but I don’t use it much. I use Air Data for the most part. UAV forecast decided to become a paid app and I’m cheap.haha
@@WeretheRoberts I only use the no pay all your using it for is maps and check forecast! If KP index is over 2. Not good to fly fyi
@EastCoastThrills yea it’s still good for that but they limited the forecast to only 3 hours. I like to look further for possible weather conditions and with air data you can look several days ahead. It seems a bit more accurate, too but I guess that’s just an opinion. lol. I’m definitely not an expert on weather so I could be totally wrong. Haha
Doesn't this add enough weight to make your mini over 250g?
Yea I guess it would depending on the weight of your drone. I was pretty disappointed, man. The mini 2 is 1.5 grams too heavy for this to keep it under 250. lol. Ruko has a small drone (U11 Mini) that actually weighs so little it’s still under 250 with this module though so there are some drones that it wouldn’t hurt.
Wow a Kevin overload, whilst watching this my Jack Russel Kevin is near me too 😂
We don’t have FAA over here but I think you need some sort of licence to fly over 250gram drones.
I’m impressed with it being used as a drone tracker if you lose it, or is it more for the American market ?
Hahahaha. Yea I was gonna wait to release this one for next week but I had a deadline. lol. Kevin is a great name for a Jack Russel. Who’d thought? lol. I agree too about the tracking feature of this module. That’s a pretty good idea and they have opened up their potential market to the fixed wing rc planes and that whole group. Smart move. I hate having to use these things but they have really helped out with that price. Honesty though I was looking around on Amazon and saw holy stone has come down, too so maybe these companies are deciding to stop price gouging us. lol
@@WeretheRoberts I’m not sure if my CFLY has a “find my drone” system built in. I just haven’t had much chance to fly it with working, then our weather systems.

Did I ever say about the time I flew it and the remote lost signal with it? It was 200 yards down the road in somebody’s front garden, thankfully not damaged.
Then the gimbal issue. Hmm 🤔
@@Dan23_7yikes those kinds of incidents are usually few and far between but when they happen to you they seem more frequent. lol. Ask how I know. Haha

Nice work i would try this test but someone would probably steal my drone lol
Hahahaha. I asked kelshaw to put it in that plastic bag to protect it from the wet ground and rain but secretly it was so nobody would steal it. I mean, like anyone’s gonna actually pick up a bag on the ground right? Nobody picks up trash. Hahaha.
Where are yoursafety lights ??? VIFLY lights/ FireHouse lights for drone day or night for safety
Hahaha. Good question.
My mini 4 pro with the plus batteries has remote id built in 😢 lol
lol yea we have the plus batteries with our Mini 4 pro, too. I wish DJI would’ve incorporated the internal module with the mini 2 drones like they did with some older models. That would’ve been cool.
Well done!!
🐾🐈⬛👍👏👏👏
Awesome! Thanks, Chris. Ruko is coming out with some really good products lately. They’re sending me a 65 watt charging block and another drone to try out in a few weeks. They keep pumping out new products. I’m sure they’ll be banned too eventually. lol.
Cool!!! 🤣
I’m sure they don’t think so. Hahaha
gotta say, that park is the trashiest place i've seen in a while... as you walked to find the module, there was constantly bottles and cups in frame.. by the time one item was gone from view, another was showing up. people are pigs but, the module is pretty cool. too bad there aren't $10,000.00 fines for littering !
lol no kidding! It’s right behind a gas station and people don’t care anymore. Sad. Looking back, it seems like it was a good idea to put the drone in that plastic bag. I was thinking of protecting it from the rain but it was definitely safe from theft. It’s not like anyone picks up the trash around there. lol. Hopefully it’ll be cleaned up one of these days.
The sad thing big brother want to put ID chips in all humans too. Crazy
Yikes! They can keep them. I’ll pass. lol. This world has gotten crazy for sure.
You failed to mention several points. First of all, remote ID is not required for drones weighing less than 250 grams. (About.5 lb.). If your drone weighs more than that then you must be registered with the FAA and affix your FAA I D on your aircraft, which you obviously didn’t do.
lol thanks for watching and commenting. Just a heads up, the info you mentioned is 100% affixed to all of my drones in a conspicuous location as required by the FAA. Hope this clears up the confusion and puts you at a little more ease. God bless!
Thank you! Super imformative video, one question you can use the same device in all your drones?
If you are a recreational flyer, yes. If part 107 you need one for each aircraft that doesn't have RID.
Couldn’t have said it better, Mark. Thanks for the info and thanks to both of you for watching and commenting. God bless!
Well Kevin, I wouldn't recommend that Ruko RID thingy. Yes, it's cheap, but cheap ain't worth it, the DJI Mini 4 Pro Fly More Combo is $1,159.00. I wouldn't trust that cheap Ruko RID unit on Aerith. Just my opinion, and as you well know, we all have one. Peace brother!
lol I understand where you’re coming from. I’m hoping I never have to use it as a tracker and if I need a tracker I would hope the find my drone feature would still work. To me this is just a back up for that but the more important thing to me is to be complaint. As long as it’s emitting the info I’m safe, right? Makes me hungry just thinking about it. Haha.
@@WeretheRoberts Don’t be complaint brother, that’s whining! But you better be compliant because you are a Part 107 Pilot. 😂😂😂
Oh I have complaints. Lol. Freaking Siri
@@WeretheRoberts 😂😂😂
Lol
Why not just buy a drone that already has it built in then you don't have to spend another hundred bucks or whatever it cost and then have it attached to your drone maybe you want to put something else in that space like some anti-collision lights.
lol great point and I agree whole heartedly. I think I look at it like these modules are for people who already had the drones without remote ID when the requirement came out. lol. We had the mini 2 drones long before I ever heard of remote ID.
I thought DJI already had RID built in
My Mini 2 SE does not have one installed. Since it was a sub 249g it was not needed when it was new.
Yea as studio421 said, several of the Mini drones don’t have it built in. The Mini 4 pro does but it’s only activated when it detects the plus size batteries. If you’re using the regular sub 250 batteries, the RID won’t emit the info. I wish there was a way to manually activate and deactivate it though. Fortunately we have the plus batteries in our 4 pro so we don’t need a module for that drone.
Are u saying holy stone is no longer qualified as license?
Hey there. No im not saying that. I was only mentioning Holy Stone to compare the size difference. I have 3 of the holy stone modules and they work OK. I do have to admit this one seems more accurate though. Holy Stone is definitely still a great option, too.
@@WeretheRoberts Thanks for the clarification...Since Avata 2 is pretty newer and it does not need the remote id as it is already have built in, correct?
@@h.mitchellgoldberg207yea that’s my understanding. I don’t have the avata 2 so I can’t verify but I believe it’s built in.
Sorry, I'm not going to believe anything that they government says about this. I'm going to fly anyway. The government has better things to do than worry about drones. Or the man power it takes to keep up with all the drones anyway 🤷
You’re probably right about them having better things to do than worry about drones. I’m a rule follower though so I don’t mind using the remote ID modules. Whatever helps keep the spotlight off of us I reckon.

Good thing my drones all have remote ID already installed.
That’s definitely a shortcut. lol
I use the guts of a samsung tag attached to the inside my drone just in case.
That’s a really good idea. Someone mentioned the apple tag, also. That’s definitely a great solution if you don’t need remote ID. Thanks for watching, buddy. God bless!!!

They’ve been conspiring against drones for a really long time then, eh?
They just passed more regulation on DJI so I don't mees with them or the larger quads anymore. They're all outdated anyway. I recently started Micro and they've come a long way over the past 10 er so years!
They’re all over DJI right now, eh? I’m still hopeful the ban is delayed or doesn’t happen so we’ll see how it progresses. Is Micro a brand? I’ve not heard of them before.
FAA sucks..
lol. Thanks for watching and commenting. They definitely have a lot of rules.
