I have a question about the new remote identification requirements for the #drone #dronephotography #drones4fun folks who fly in the U.S.
I have an old-school #dji Mavic Pro (the model m1p) and am looking into getting in compliance with the new U.S. F.A.A. Remote ID (Part 89) regulations that will begin enforcement on March 16, 2024. I talked to DJI support and they tell me that they won't be rolling out standard RID support for the O.G. Mavic Pro as they have for newer models. So it looks like my only option is adding a third party RID broadcast module to my bird.
I looked at the various BlueMark DroneBeacon and Drone Defence AeroPing modules, but they are pricey enough (~$150+ USD) that I might just go get one of those new, tricked-out UAVs instead, and look for a place to donate my ancient MP. But I hate to give up on something that works really well for my hobbyist projects.
Anyway, my question: is there anything here that I'm missing? Do I have any more options?
