I swear I actually saw this video!

so if i swear i installed remote id and the folder gets moved to my parts bin and then i find it later im good den right? coo

Yeah.. I saw it too... :D@@RyanHarrellA

@@RyanHarrellA #StreisandEffect 😉

Would a DJI air unit attached on top of a DJI drone both powered on, do any type of damage to each other, or cause some type of interference? ( Just a randomly FPV question there!) Thanks

I'm scared the FAA agents will come get me, oh wait.

Fly free!

@@ShizzelBodizel thats what your guns are for

I think in general most cops will ignore the idea of this. I wouldn't give them a reason to use it. They're good at knowing laws if your constantly in trouble. Otherwise. I haven't used a cross walk in my whole life, and never got a ticket for J walking. so Im hoping this follows suits.

Yeah. Not needed much here in Montana. It's a waste of money for something that I believe will be outdated by the next bs thing they will push onto us.

@@kennykobi I'm in west Virginia. What is a cross walk? 😉 Lol

@@knarftrakiul3881I think it’s when you walk a cross to the other side of the street

I'm a commercial drone pilot. Unfortunately I can't take a chance.

The people I fly hard with all average about $50 per flight hour in parts, we were all just doing the math recently. $20 if we run beat up props and take it easy. My worst month was about $4000 but I was flying all day every day. I generally average 1000. It basically depends on the harshness of your environment, the number of packs you fly, and how hard you push outside of your comfort zone. And if you lose a quad. I lost 2 in one day flying a power plant, that was 500+ each. I think I average one unrecoverable quad a year, so that’s pretty good. I think I covered everything.

It's the government we're talking about. They're still keeping the patriot act alive to skip warrants by merely claiming suspicion of someone being a terrorist. They want everything we do monitored because they're sick weirdos.

The only way to register is via Internet. It's expected in modern society in USA that you will have some access to Internet, even if it is only via public access like library etc.

You understand that flying with a inactive RemoteID is just as much a violation as flying without one at all. The rules say you are responsible for the module functioning.

Recreational flights under 250g are exempt. Recreational flights over 250g require RemoteID unless flown at a FRIA. Commercial flights require RemoteID regardless of weight.

willing to share the stl?

Yes ok you can watch the flight test of the unit here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/opOXh5hkqcqyeHk.html It gets lock in about 30 seconds.

@@JoshuaBardwell No I made the same complaint on that video, you did it not on a quad with all the signals going, that's no good. LOL

I've found that difficulty in getting a lock is often the result of having other electronics in close proximity to the GPS. Tried putting a Flywoo Nano V3 GPS onto a Mobula 7, directly on top of the AIO, and found that it could not get a lock. After moving the GPS a mere inch away, it started to find things again. They're very sensitive little radios, and nearly any kind of noise will screw with them. Separation is king!

I thought that was for commercial use

If you're a licensed part 107 pilot who goes outside of recreational use, then they start requiring the more strict rules, even if your UAV magically weighs nothing.

Yeah, you're right. I'm a 107 pilot but so is Bardwell. That's why I asked for some clarification. I really don't want to spend $100 per quad to make them legal but I'm trying to do things by the book. There is also the issue of registering homebuilt drones and what constitutes a "flight system".

Dont use it unless you fly for your job

Yes absolutely.

Thank you! Keep up the great content! @@JoshuaBardwell

Almost none. It consumes a miniscule amount of power.

You are right in a sense. Many of the people who choose to comply with this rule are professional 107 operators who will lose their livelihood if they get caught out of compliance. I made this video for them, and other people like them.

Should work fine. This stuff barely demands any amperage, so there's really no risk to it.

There are 3rd party apps that can be used to request LAANC approval if you are trying to fly in controlled airspace. Otherwise, you just go fly. The system does not enforce any geofencing at all.

@JoshuaBardwell awesome. I asked because my rival high-school growing up is geofenced due to a distant airport. I was approved after a background check from dji

Any drone over 250g or any drone flown for part 107 purposes is supposed to have RemoteID.

That's interesting that you point that out. But never let inconsistent messaging from the FAA make you assume that policy has changed. Unless they issue a specific advisory or change the rules, this could just be one dude going off message. It's happened before.

@@JoshuaBardwell So what the site says could be a misrepresentation of the rule? It wouldn't surprise me. Since I don't comb through the reams of pages on the rule, I can only go on history when it comes to inconsistent messaging from government bureaucracies. But just based on that line on the FAA site (Home/Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS)/Getting Started/Remote ID), I guess some Part 107 operators will think a broadcast module would be in compliance and they could go on earning an income. At least until they get told otherwise and use that line as a form of defense.

All I'm saying is, if the rule says one thing and a website says another thing, then I wouldn't assume the website was authoritative. Until there is an official Advisory from the FAA, or some other Official Statement of Interperetation or whatever you want to call it, I'm going to assume they're interpreting the rules as written. We have seen interviews by the director of the FAA where incorrect or inconsistent information was given out. Was this him being under-prepared for the interview or was it an official statement of the FAA's position? Nobody knows. It's up to the individual to decide how much risk they want to take.

@@JoshuaBardwell We're on the same page. Basically the approach I would have taken if I was a Part 107 operator.

Cars are way more dangerous than quadcopters. Yet there's no way to remote-id a car except for looking at the license plate (which may be hidden from view). How come we dont add remote-id to cars before we add them to toys? The WORST part about remote-id is that in some cases it also discloses the location of the controller, meaning YOU as a pilot standing somewhere. Why is this bad? Welcome to USA where everyone is armed and some people are absolutely nuts and psychos. Do you want YOUR location broadcast in real time, when an angry dude who hates drones and suffers paranoid delusions, walks out with a shotgun? Imagine if your laptop or pc had remote-id on it so that any troll on the internet could find your IRL location in real-time to come find you? Basically, the "find my phone" feature, but open to the public for anyone to use, with YOUR phone / laptop / pc.. That's why remote-id is absolutely unacceptable in terms of both privacy and operator safety. Now let's talk about drones like the Mavic 3 Cine or the Inspire. Why is remote-id bad for those? Same exact thing. What if you happen to stand in a less than reputable part of the town (or less reputable people happen to be nearby, you cant know). You're broadcasting your location, along with the type of the drone. What does this mean? It means you're openly broadcasting a red bullseye on your self saying "$3k-6k drone RIGHT HERE, come take it!" People get robbed for far less than $3k. In the civilized safer parts of the world, this isnt a concern. In USA, it's a big concern. "But drones can be dangerous if some jerk flies into people intentionally". Guns and knives are dangerous if used intentionally against people. Yet we dont have remote-id on guns (which frankly IS actually strange). Drones are the LEAST of our problems, and cause the LEAST injuries or deaths compared to everything else society has to deal with. It's a non-issue. Psychopaths who want to cause harm to others are psychopaths no matter the tools they use. People who aren't psychopaths, but get into accidents because they didnt learn how to fly the drone, will only get into 1 accident. Then their drone is broken. if they get into another accident, their next drone is broken. Their wallet is empty.

best thing there is its one registration and the code is for evry drone you will ever buy fly or build

@@singrun7618 That's the old (previous) regulation in the US as well. Just wait until the laws in Germany catch up with the insanity in the US... it will happen sooner than you think. Enjoy flying in the mean time.

As long as all of your drones are registered under one inventory, then you can swap out one remote ID module for all your drones.

not according to the FAA which states: "This is not the case for Part 107 pilots who must register each individual device (Standard Remote ID drone or Remote ID broadcast module) separately within their inventory and each device will get a unique registration number" @@TheGupsterMan

A good way to wire up would be to use 3S balance lead. The connection would be small enough and then you would be able to send power ground TX and RX and hook the GPS up to your flight controller as well.

​@@andyk939how many parts can you change before it's a different quad?

@@Voyajer. good question. Nothing matters though when you land and the FAA has tracked your RiD you better have the right one on.

My understanding is that part 107 requires a unique registration ID per aircraft, so you'd need a unique module per aircraft.

​@@JoshuaBardwelloh hell no im not doing that

Glad I'm not the only one...

Found the FAA

@@wingsuitist 🤣🤣

You should put a tracker on your car too

The FAA.

Nobody unless you are going to cities.

You need a receiver with PWM output. There is a Crossfire to PWM adapter you can buy.

@@JoshuaBardwell I’ll look into that, thank you!

@@danielthornton1633 Do keep in mind that plane flight controllers often have PWM outputs, and your serial receivers work just fine in that case. I used an F405-WMN flight controller in my plane, and hooked up a Matek R-24D receiver to it exactly like I would on a quad. So if you have a flight controller, remember that you have this option.

If I install this I'm also installing a real pit switch. If it doesn't come back what are they going to do. man if I don't take my goggles off fast enough they're just gonna taZe my ass. god forbid I even try to land a moving object near them first. Wait 1 min officer while I land this machine .. Wtf

How do you think one man's hypocrisy or mistake negates safety laws and regulations for you? That's a child's mindset. Court won't like it much.

@@andyk939 You have a childs mindset, ignoring harm being done so you can support the status quo even when it bends you over. The mindset of someone with a weak spine who conveniently always favours whatever is in so they can avoid having to face challenges. The type of person will ignore the 0 drone hobby deaths in the history of western nations, along with a tremendous lack of literally any reasoning to increase limitations other than to allow massive corporations to use regulatory capture anti competitively to lock future competitors out of the drone delivery market. I dont expect Ill convince you because you arent about being convinced or evidence, you just want to feel smug by pretending anyone who has the backbone to not simply bend to whatever is pushed onto them is unreasonably "offended" as you sit there accepting whatever is thrown your way.

The current FAA director has this on his Wikipedia page. He's a scumbag too! "In 2020 a Labor Department judge ruled that while serving as Vice President of Delta Air Lines Dickson was complicit in synthesizing and weaponizing claims of psychological unfitness against a pilot at the company who had brought concerns to their Safety Department’s attention. Dickson and vice president of flight operations Jim Graham retaliated against the pilot's whistleblower claims by having a doctor falsely diagnose the pilot with bipolar disorder to force her out of the company. Delta later launched an unsuccessful appeal and was ordered to reinstate the pilot and pay her $500,000."

We already have people blasting like 5 watts with no HAM license, and nobody's getting brought in. I went to the effort of getting mine and realized that I went the extra mile for nothing.

@@jaysonrees738 Thanks for the reply.

What makes you think people took this sitting down. People have been fighting in a bunch of different ways, including RDQ spending literally six figures on a federal lawsuit (which they lost). I hate people who haven't been paying attention to the fight that has been going on since literally 2019 ... I hate those people seeing the current state of things and concluding that, just because we didn't win, that we didn't fight.

​@@JoshuaBardwellthen we all need to not comply This a democracy if there's rules/laws being made against the majority's will then people are obviously not standing up for what they believe in. I will not buy rid I will not comply, nobody should

@@JoshuaBardwell I can see your point of view and in my anger at the situation my words may have belittled efforts and come across like I was unaware, and Im not and didnt mean to. What my real feelings are here, is that just complying like everything is fine is what gives small laws like this power. No one is going to jail for a 300g unregistered drone, and they probably will never get fined. People just keep pushing those boundaries just ever so slightly enough that no reasonable person could enforce such baseless laws and eventually it gets stricken. People fly responsibly as they have been, but with the mildest hint of civil disobedience and its just that bit to help fight the law gaining aocietal inertia and that sort of "its been here for a while" point of view that once settled seems permanent. Of course I dont expect you to be out there telling people not to comply, but I wouldnt expect to see the opposite either. When enough people dont comply, there becomes too little infrastructure to reasonably expect people to comply or for the rules to he enforced effectively and it gets dropped or ignored at least for the little guy. I think of it like with vhs back in the day, where it was debatedly illegal to record tv, but we settled on that its not, and I dont imagine the fact that the common law person thought it was ridiculous and wouldnt comply had a great deal to do with it. Now, we have a similar situation with Netflix etc, except companirs are winning this because theyve learned to cook the frog and get the wverage person to feel to overwhelmed by their presence to to throw a fuss. Once again, especially because its your brand/livelyhood, I totally get you complying; not wanting to be shut down in official capacity, but it just makes me sad seeing people who serve as leaders in the space advocating for acceptance, even if reluctantly. It's certainly a complex situation and so I do understand why my initial rather casual/flippant/inaccurate dismissal came across poorly, but I just think its not the time to give up yet. Stretching the boundaries until its not enforced and hopefully eventually gets removed I think is the only way I can imagine this is done. I feel like Amazon, UPS etc will forget about drone delivery as a mass method of delivery soon given that with current lithium tech its not viable economically or environmentally and would only really be viable for luxury sub 1 hour deliveries. After that, there wont be much force keeping the law in place apart from inertia, so I think people just need to not give the law inertia. Just people dragging their feet I think results in the best outcome.

I definitely won't be helping them overstep, because I know where it goes if we comply. We'll have cell subscriptions on these modules, and they'll mandate remote kill switches among other things. The freakin birds pose more of a threat than my little hobby aircraft. They need to butt out.

Why do you think this should cost $14. You made up that number without any actual knowledge a it what it takes to manufacture.

@JoshuaBardwell yeah..I just threw that number out there... I can get a Flight controller a 60 amp ESC a GPS and a Caddx Ratel 2 for under $99.99 ...they're charging a $99.99.. Kind of ridiculous. Can't see it Having much more technology than that stuff..

Right, right. I understand that point of view. But the difference is, the RemoteID unit is federally regulated. That's where the additional cost comes in. The manufacturer has to 1) make sure the device conforms to all the requirements of the regulation, 2) submit the device for testing to confirm that, 3) apply to the FAA for approval, and 4) perform various on-going tasks as required by the FAA. If at any point, the manufacturer drops the ball, all the people using their hardware are no longer compliant with the rules. Even though NOTHING has changed about their RemoteID device. It's because of all that responsibility that these devices cost money. Because somebody at the manufacturer has to get paid to keep the FAA happy.

@JoshuaBardwell I got you. I appreciate the information. Pretty much everything I've learned in FPV I've learned from you. Thank you so much.
