Holy Stone FAA Compliant Remote Identification broadcast Module Spare Parts for GPS Drones with Camera for Adults 4K, Remote ID broadcast Module Parts comply with US FAA Regulation; No worry about FAA

This small module works as intended and creates a beacon signature for your drone that either is not manufactured with an internal beacon signal or is an older drone made before these were required. Can fly for 5 hours on a full charge and that’s longer than most people will be flying their drone. The unit could be a tiny bit slimmer but by no means is it large or bulky. It’s pretty easy to program and also easy to rewrite the data stored on it. There are other choices out there to buy but this one is fairly inexpensive and does exactly what those others do. I can’t speak to durability because I’ve only owned it a couple weeks but it is well built and makes me legal.

I was on a waiting list for two other, more expensive, RID units for a month or more when Amazon recommended this one by Holy Stone. It's easy to set up with a Bluetooth phone, worked for me the first time, and has showed up on OpenDroneID, AirSentinel, and DropneScanner on my smartphone. A recreational flyer can use one of these for all the drones in their fleet that need RID. A commercial flyer needs on RID for each drone. It's very light weight, something like 12 grams, and attaches with velcro. My Air2 and now my Mavic 2s are 'native' RID compliant. I'll use these Holy Stone RID units for my Typhoons and Inspires that are not RID compliant. The only problem I had was that one of the QR Codes in the printed material led to the wrong website to download the Android app to configure the unit. I used Holy Stone's Chat feature on their website to contact them. A very helpful tech answered quickly and advised me to use the one on-line, which I did. This whole experience helps convince me that Holy Stone is better than the ordinary 'toy drone' manufacturer...

I'm guessing it works really don't know how to tell it's actually broadcasting but it was easy to setup price was decent battery life is good duribility seems good functionality is good appearance is amazing not to big

The product is small and lightweight attaching to my drone easily and securely. Instructions were clear and easy to follow. Device connected to phone software immediately, and there were no issues registering the number with the FAA. On the downside, it seems to take a long time to find a GPS signal. The indicator lights are clear about searching versus connected and though I’ve only been using it a couple of weeks. It does seem consistent in taking several minutes to find a GPS signal. Other positive aspects:The RID signal shows up on a scanner clearly once it is transmitting and stays transmitting throughout flight. Charge time is quick and I have yet to need to interrupt the mission because of battery loss. I think I would give this a full five stars but for the fact that it takes so long to find its GPS signals.

Easy setup. Perfect size. Price was good.

Was easy to set up and works exactly as advertised

Purchased the Holystone remote ID module for an older > 250g drone that lacks the functionality. Note that along with the drone, the module has to be registered with the FAA in the US. Downloaded the Android version of the Drone Go2 app to configure the module, no issues. One thing I learned (and that Holystone customer support didn't catch), was that on Android location permission must not only be granted to the app but location needs to be enabled (I normally leave location off in a likely-futile effort to minimize tracking by Big Tech). Initially I had granted the permission but NOT enabled location and the Drone Go2 app couldn't find and connect to the module. Attached the module using the provided Velcro adhesive strips. Was worried that they wouldn't hold and the module would depart the drone, but so far in about a 1/2-hour of flying it has stayed in place. Tested and tracked the drone and module with the OpenDroneID app, worked fine. There are much more expensive remote ID modules available, but the Holystone seems to work well and is very reasonably priced.

I am an RF design engineer. I have a full RF design laboratory and have designed BLE devices. I received the RID unit this morning and immediately charged the battery until it showed full. I then downloaded the Drone Go2 app and connected to the RID. It said that a firmware update was needed so I allowed that. It appeared to be successful and the app told me to reset the RID, which I did. On the next connection to the app it said that a firmware update was needed, etc. And again... So it seemed to be in a continuous "update needed" loop so the next time I selected "cancel". It then allowed me to enter my setup information and told me to reset the unit. After doing that I go the expected fast blink followed a few seconds later by a slowly blinking green LED. I then tried to reconnect with the Drone 2Go app with no success -- no response at all. As a BLE engineer I have several BLE diagnostic apps on my phone. Anyone can load them off of the Apple app store for free - search for Nordic Semiconductor, Renasas Semiconductor, of Cypress Semiconductor. At any rate running any one of these apps shows the presence of the RID device BUT here is where there is a major problem: Trying to connect to the RID device using any of these free apps SHUTS THE RID OFF!!!! Both LEDs turn off and the broadcast ceases. I inspected the over-the-air signal using a spectrum analyzer and there was NO output after a simple BLE connection attempt. This is a pretty major firmware problem, to say the least.
