Are we all now transmitting RID on our DJI drones?

As most of you are aware the DJI Avata 360 is a UK1 class marked drone and as such needs to be transmitting RID in the UK. DJI brought out a fly app update for the 360. I have noticed that my Air 3 S is now transmitting RID even though it doesn’t need to until the end of 2027. Are all DJI drones with the ability to transmit RID now doing so in the UK?

Hm, that’s interesting, I’ve not checked to see if my air 3s is broadcasting rid. However I haven’t as yet linked rid to my op id.

I have already enabled it on my Avata 2, even though not necessary yet. :person_shrugging:

It won’t be activated on any of my drones, as I don’t want the local scumbags knowing my location with all my very expensive kit by my side

I didnt activate it on my air 3 s its just transmitting lol

Did you fill out the controller’s RID field with your registration details?

I did. It works a little like 2FA.

Was wondering if @Steviecam had and that’s why the Air3S has started transmitting it early.

This maybe why

Or

Are you using the genuine DJI fly app or a 3rd party one

Genuine app but i did put my rid details in didnt think it would activate it tbh

If you take them out, does the Air 3S stop transmitting?

Once its in its in lol

Factory reset on the controller, maybe? Seems a bit drastic though :frowning:

Must be removable to sell it

Yeh with a reset but ive got plenty of n3 controllers kicking about if i dont want rid transmission lol

I bought a new UK0 / C0 DJI Mini 3 from Amazon a couple of weeks back during the prime sale (Mid June 2026). However when I was hearing about the UK0 Mini 3 devices will also need to have RemoteID being activated from 1st Jan 2028 I reached out to DJI Support to check how it would be enabled and maybe when; however the responses I got back seemed a bit un-committing!

I asked if my Mini 3 had the hardware within it now to allow to do Remote ID (they didn’t confirm or deny - basically still don’t know. If it was a no, then feels like a waste to have bought a drone that I want to be <249g and then need to maybe add to it :confused:

Then asked also if there will be a firmware update coming out. They just relied with we will sort you out, dont worry, wat ever that means :man_shrugging: :rofl:

It has

Good to hear, thanks Milkman, I wish DJI would have just said that too :joy:

Are you sure it’s a UK0 / C0 drone :thinking:

Can you post a picture of the sticker

The Mini 3 Pro definitely has RID and it’s active but at the moment it’s geo locked, go outside the uk and it will switch on

Hi, here is a photo of the stickers applied to the drone when I received it brand new and sealed.

Hopefully it is just the geo lock as you say as to why it doesn’t show for me as yet in my controller for entering it in.
