The Holystone Remote ID module is the cheapest available. Why should complying with Remote ID be expensive? This RID module by Holystone is under a hundred dollars, is simple to setup and use, weighs just 14 grams and is actually available for shipping. I mount it to the Parrot Anafi and take it for a flight test. 🚨 Use code GadgetRID for 20% OFF: amzn.to/3vr50pO.
Thank you to Holystone for providing the device for review.

Thanks so much for the informational video on the Holystone RID device as I have one myself! Ohio Drone Pilot.

@tommyg957 5 месяцев назад

Congratulations on your achievements! When it comes to remote id, I plan on going with the cheapest one I can, even if the module only broadcasts 100 ft, bare minimum for compliance.

@GadgetInspector 5 месяцев назад

Thanks Tommy, you watched until the end! This module is on the FAA approved list, so no issues there.

@GadgetInspector 5 месяцев назад

So did you buy 2 for each drone or do you just switch one out between each?

@mikesgamingrcandtravel2695 5 месяцев назад

Thanks Gadget Inspector! I'm still flying the original Air and Mavic pro.

@GadgetInspector 5 месяцев назад

Wow, now that's impressive and I don't blame you. Still really good drones.

@alxkarabos Месяц назад

Man, save me!! Could you please indicate me specifically in which part of the Mavic Air 1 (the original) did you attach it? I own a Mavic Air 1 and i am about to buy one module too. But i am not sure where to put it in order not to block Gps and other parts so the drone can work correctly. I would appreciate your help, please!!! I cannot buy a new drone so i want to revive my legendary Mavic Air!! Thank you very much in advance!!

Nice video. I’m a fixed wing flyer and even though I have an e-flite remote ID I just got one of these. Plugging the e-flight one into the receiver works fine but sometimes I like to bring more than one model to the field, and some airplanes don’t have easy access once assembled. This little thing with its own battery should be quite handy. Not sure about the whole remote ID thing. Might make casual drone buyers think twice, but someone intent on doing bad things is going to home build and not comply with the remote ID law either.

@GadgetInspector 5 дней назад

You're right, it will likely deter some people, in addition to the new "DJI ban" going through Congress right now. I'm honestly not sure how the FAA can/will enforce RID though. It's no big deal to me as most of my drones already have RID built in, but I'm glad to have this module for when I'm flying something that doesn't.

@JeffinTD 5 дней назад

Hopefully some sensibility will prevail on the DJI thing. I’m in the opposite situation in that I mainly have giant gas airplanes that do not have rfid, but I mainly fly in FRIA areas where remote ID is not required. But I want a module for those times I fly outdid if an approved RC field. Yeah, I’d also guess it unlikely a person would get caught, but I am also a follow the law kinda guy.

@leisuredrones8465 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for the review, wish I saw this ealier, bought two from E-flite for $99. This is all self contained and no extra soldering for power plug like the E-flite modules require. Gonna use this on my Potensic Atom.

@GadgetInspector 5 месяцев назад

You bet. You really don't need one for the Atom unless you're flying part 107 since it's sub-250 grams. If you're flying recreationally, you don't need it.

@colt2110 3 месяца назад

That's what I like about this so far

@slapdat.byteme 5 месяцев назад

I went with the $0 (yes, absolutely free!) remote ID module. It costs nothing, doesn’t drain the drone battery and weighs only 0 grams. Did I mention it’s also invisible?

@davidmaynard9325 5 месяцев назад

Remote ID is looming here in the UK. Probably won't be quite the same as the US but thanks for showing us what we may end up with. I will be going with the cheapest thing available once we go down that route !

@GadgetInspector 5 месяцев назад

Glad I could help my drone buddies across the pond!

@js32257 2 месяца назад

Interesting video. I appreciate it and have an experiment suggestion. From anywhere power on the holystone with app forced closed on your phone. Drive somewhere else. Launch the app and see if the app knows where you first powered on the hardware.

@GadgetInspector 2 месяца назад

That's a good idea. I'll see if I can remember to try it.

@zz-nc5kx Месяц назад

To get your FAA ID you will need to take and pass a 4 part test. I am building a large quad and in addition to everything else I need to get a Ham Technician license because my video transmitter can out 1 watt of power.

@almeisam 5 месяцев назад

I put one of those on my Spark a couple of weeks ago.

@GadgetInspector 5 месяцев назад

My man! Still flying the Spark! I like it. They don't build drones like that anymore. That thing is a little tank.

@shanebarber.4695 5 месяцев назад

Oh I remember the spark drone. Very nice 👍.

@alxkarabos Месяц назад

My friend could you please indicate me in which part of the Spark did you attach it? I own a Mavic Air 1 (which was a bit similar in terms if body with Spark) and i am about to buy one module too. But i am not sure where to put in order not to block Gps and other parts. I would appreciate your help!!

@almeisam Месяц назад

@@alxkarabos I put it on top of the Spark, centered between the propellers so they wouldn't hit it.

Are people getting confused about the remote id scanner app versus the scanning ability of commercial devices? Comments welcome.

@frederickgrassie3383 4 месяца назад

New tosay to you channel. Very interesting info on the RID. I fly back of my house, the field i go to is FAA approved, but the members hate helicopters, only 3 of 75 people have them. So ill be leaving the membership in July. Ill check out the RID, but really like dronetag one you showed. Whats you thought on the money end of each????😊

@GadgetInspector 4 месяца назад

I think the Holystone is the one to get if you’re trying to be economical. It works fine and actually FAA approved. Dronetag has a cool app and smaller form factor, but not sure that’s worth the extra money.

@derbinhamler2103 Месяц назад

The higher you fly the greater the range of the Remote ID transmitter. Tech specifications for Remote ID range # Broadcasting Direct Remote ID data through one of the mandatory technologies (Wi-Fi or Bluetooth) is sufficient to comply with the regulations, even though both channels can be combined. Regarding general ranges, Wi-Fi offers a greater range, thanks to 10 times higher transmission power than Bluetooth (100mW vs. 10mW). The Wi-Fi Remote ID transmission can reach kilometers, but it also comes with some downsides; for example, Wi-Fi add-on modules are known for common issues with the interference of drones' internal hardware, which can use the same frequency channel Bluetooth technology used in Direct / Broadcast Remote ID is different than the one we all know from smartphones, headphones and speakers. Remote ID devices are equipped with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), which provides one-way communication only through broadcasting from the aircraft. Due to that, Bluetooth BLE is capable of transmitting a signal over a much greater distance than Standard Bluetooth, which reaches hundreds of meters range. Bluetooth BLE can reach up to 3 km (1.86 miles) in unobstructed outdoor conditions, as confirmed by multiple field tests.

@GadgetInspector 28 дней назад

Thanks for the great info. I'll do some more testing to find out why I was getting such limited range. I believe my iphone picks up BLE but maybe it's a setting I need to turn on.

@dougstraveljournal8614 3 месяца назад

Thanks, easy to follow. QUESTION - I forgot to write down the remote ID number. I need it to go into the FAA Drone Zone website to update my registration information with the remote ID number. Is there a way to see this in the Drone Go2 app?

@GadgetInspector 3 месяца назад

Yep, when you connect the device to the app when it recognizes it you'll see the remote ID. Click on the number and you'll see all of the information you entered when you first setup the device.

@freemansfocus 3 месяца назад

Great video! Thank you for the clear explanation! It's funny that the Drone Scanner App can only track an SUAS to 500 feet. I guess the Official (FAA or local Law enforcement) will pretty much have to be right near you to track your drone? I am a 107 Pilot and will be fully compliant with Remote ID.

@freemansfocus 3 месяца назад

EDIT: Near your drone.

@GadgetInspector 3 месяца назад

I have a suspicion that they have or will have devices capable of picking up these signals from much farther away.

@martinwhite418 3 месяца назад

Do you really believe the Secret Service is using phone apps to find aircraft information?

@GadgetInspector 2 месяца назад

I just wouldn't be surprised if there's tech available to the gov't that exceeds what's available to consumers. Not a stretch by any means. But....I tend to believe that the FAA has some much bigger fish to fry right now considering their shortage of air traffic controllers and huge swath of impending retirements, the airline maintenance concerns, etc.

@nled 3 месяца назад

Thank you for your value insight on the Holy Stone unit. As you suggested you were going to do, I entered my drone registration number as the operator ID. It shows on drone scanner as invalid data. Only way I have gotten rid of the invalid data is by using my full name. Was wondering how that worked out for you?

@GadgetInspector 2 месяца назад

I'm not sure about that. I'd have to see it.

@AerialLensVideo 3 месяца назад

I'm sitting here with my brand new HolyStone ID module with phone in non-airplane mode, on bluetooth is on, and app open. 2 lights on the module lit up. App sees nothing. Tried multiple times. What am I missing? Thanks!

@JimShieldsphoto 2 месяца назад

When I add this to the FAA site I listed it as for my Mavic drone. However, I fly RC planes as well. Once this is registered and I switch the module from my drone to me RC plane do I need to change a setting to do that, and do I have to add all of my planes to the FAA site? Thanks for the video.

@GadgetInspector 2 месяца назад

My understanding is that only one module is required for hobbyists. For part 107 they want a unique module for each aircraft. Every drone over 249 grams has to be registered. I believe it’s only $5 for every drone of for recreational use. $5 per drone for part 107.

@kaliman4013 3 месяца назад

What is the correct zize of the velcro for the holly stone module??...on amazon are 2 diferent (1"×2") or (2"×4")??

@GadgetInspector 3 месяца назад

I went with the 1x2 and still needed to trim it a bit. I think 2x4 is too big...you'd be doing a lot of unnecessary trimming.

@JayBoucher 3 месяца назад

@GadgetInspector 3 месяца назад

@dogswhistlesharam9029 5 месяцев назад

How does it broadcast the pilot location?

@GadgetInspector 5 месяцев назад

It broadcasts takeoff location so maybe it's taking the altitude reading "zero" to determine that. I'm not sure.

@InletKayaker 4 месяца назад

When setting up the Remote ID,what is it that goes on the ID line,the serial number of the remote?? ,my FAA registration number?

@GadgetInspector 4 месяца назад

The serial number is the Remote ID and that auto-populates. If you want to add your registration number you can put that on the Operator ID line, but I don't think it's required based on what I've read: www.faa.gov/uas/getting_started/remote_id.

@kaliman4013 3 месяца назад

I have 2 drones, so every time i turn on the app i have to change the drone specs or is 1 module for each drone??

@GadgetInspector 3 месяца назад

Yea you'd have to change the specs each time, that's the only downside. There's no way to add multiple profiles. I'll send that as a suggestion to Holystone. Maybe they can make that a feature in a firmware update.

@GadgetInspector 3 месяца назад

Just confirmed that you can only use the module with one drone at a time, so you will have to change the drone every time in the app. Doesn't sound like they plan on changing that.

@JDDupuy 5 месяцев назад

Range is stupid. Whats the point? This whole charade has been nothing but BS!

@GadgetInspector 5 месяцев назад

It's kind of confusing, but I don't think it's the range of the signal from the module that's short, but rather the range of my phone to track it. I'll reach out to Holystone to find out though, I'm curious myself.

@GadgetInspector 5 месяцев назад

Welp, I just confirmed with Holystone that the broadcast range is actually 600-feet. But keep in mind, this is an FAA approved module so that must be all we need to comply.
