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

Is easy to set up very well made batter last very long instructions were very clear and understandable have no complaints about Very important for today’s compliance with faa rules and the good thing is that you can use it in different crafts

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

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.

Item works as described,good signal and range, easy to register with FAA,then get to flying.

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.

Had to get one of these because my old Mavic Pro couldn't get the firmware update needed to stay compliant. Easy enough to register and charge, I just fastened it with a piece of strong velcro to the top of the drone and it's been fine as far as I know.

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.
