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

Resonable price RID for Drones. Small and easy to you.

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...

Works for my old Mavic Drone

I use an older DJI Mini 2 for real estate photos which needs to be remote ID compliant as of Sep 2023 (although enforcement delayed to Mar 2024). Since the Mini 2 is not upgradeable to meet the new requirement, rather than shell out over $1000 on a new drone, I bought one of these remote ID modules. It is small and light enough to fit the mini 2. You have to be careful where you mount it however, as the Mini 2 GPS module is just aft of the middle and you do not want this module blocking it. I therefore mounted towards the front on top of camera gimbal. Setup was very easy with the app and it immediately indicates it is broadcasting, although I have no way to check that it actually is. It was the cheapest self contained module I could find, and one of the smallest. So far so good. My only complaint is the velcro pad provided for mounting is very poor and the module is very loose and wobbly, it did not feel secure at all, hence only 4 stars. I substituted some finer pitch higher quality velcro. I saw one reviewer concerned that the module could not be detected with scanning apps. This is fine by me, as I do not want random people being able to detect my drone and my location when operating the drone. As long as the proper authorities with the proper receivers can detect it, then it serves it's purpose.

Very nice and easy to use, and complies with FAA

Ever since the announcement of Remote ID and the implementation of it, I have been keeping tabs on any (affordable) available broadcast module for my Autel EVO 2 V1 that Autel refused to make compliant via firmware update. The FAA seemed to think that companies wouldn't capitalize on the need for add on broadcast modules and portrayed that they would be affordable for all well under $100. They were wrong as greed dictates a business' angle of sales. All Remote ID broadcast modules I was finding (which were only a few) were going anywhere from $150 - $329. With the fast approaching March 16th 2024 deadline, I weighed my options of biting the bullet on an expensive add on option or moving on to an upgraded model with standard Remote ID built in. Low and behold, the other week I did another Google search on Remote ID broadcast modules and this one from Holy Stone popped up... for $89! Seeming too good to be true I did a little digging and visited the FAA Remote ID compliance list. Sure enough this module was indeed listed as compliant. Without further hesitation I submitted my order and waited for it to arrive. The set up for the initial writing of the identity was very fast and easy. The app was easy to find and install on my Android device. Within minutes I had my broadcast module affixed to my EVO 2, Remote ID registered with the FAA, and I was flying in compliance with over 2 months to spare until the deadline. I am very pleased with this module and recommend it to everyone looking for a more affordable compliant device. I hope Holy Stone doesn't give in to greed and keeps their module at this price point.

Its a GPS transceiver. Setup is fine, battery life is fine, transmission is fine, just dont let it get smacked with a propeller at max speed or itll break

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.
