For those who threw rocks at me for fretting about this months ago and why all the rush.... I just called a Remote ID provider and was told they are out of stock and to expect deliveries anywhere from 5 to 10 weeks... which in the real world means 10-15 weeks.

For those who threw rocks at me for fretting about this months ago,... I just called a Remote ID provider and was told they are out of stock and to expect deliveries anywhere from 5 to 10 weeks... which in the real world means 10-15 weeks. Hurry up and wait!

That is a blink of an eye - at least my eye. It will be here before you know it and catch everyone with their pants down. This is headed to the "Cluster" Hall of Fame.

I asked the FAA if they could send a list of approved vendors of Remote ID modules. Here is their reply (it makes my head hurt): "All of the aircraft and broadcast modules with an FAA-approved Declaration of Compliance (DOC) for remote ID are here . You will need to click on the "View" option...

I'm in the exact same boat (P4P). This is just so stupid!!

This is just nuts. With Remote ID compliance looming on September 16, 2023, I still cannot find a provider for a retro remote-id module for a Phantom 4 Pro. If you happen to have a link to a provider, kindly post it here. Thanks in advance. Reference: "All drone pilots required to register...

I hand catch 100% (P4P). Seems like hand catching would minimize the chance of cracks as opposed to causing it, since hand catching eliminates contact with hard surfaces/hard landing. That said, I have a nice collection of cracks near motors.

I've had almost identical experiences with swollen batteries. I have a total of 11 batteries, 4 of which are swollen. The only negative I see so far is what you mentioned about pulling out of the battery compartment (I have weak hands. I started bringing a pair of rubber-coated gloves with me...

Here's the problem with this thread: The OP references a Phantom 4 PRO ["Can anyone that have a Phantom 4 pro send me a screenshot of the 3d noise reduction switch in the app?"]; the video he uses to explain the issue is a Phantom 4 (not PRO). The replies from well-meaning pilots also use...

Did you try reverting to the previous firmware version?? I'm having the same issue.

What model drone are you flying? P4P? P4P, V2.0?

That guy could make serious and legitimate money being a screenwriter.

Hoping you could provide a link to the Phantom 5. I'd like to take a look at it.

I use a popular flight plan app that lets you program missions with long/lat/alt. This particular mission is a simple one point mission at a designated latitude, longitude and altitude. The mission is saved and I use it on a recurring basis - always careful not to bump the settings. This month...

Suggest buying used batteries on eBay, but be sure to ask the seller how many charge cycles are on the battery. Setup an eBay search... You can pick up decent batteries for about 50% of new. Ditto for buying a used controller. The S/N is probably on the aircraft but get your magnifying glass...
