I had not really noticed that it was a O and not a 0 as in Zero. Maybe it’s just the font being used. Looked again and now you mentioned it mmm maybe it is a O ( oh) and not a zero
Sounds like a plan ![]()
Im using the mini 4 with the original controller running software a few iterations older than current. I have the dongle thingy so the FCC thing isnt that important to me on that setup.
The controller accepts my RID details but after a few flights/reboots none of the software i can run seems to detect the RID transmission.
Its not important at all, i was just curious.
For the moment i dont plan to fiddle with RID on the 5 or rc2pro.
Weirdly the RID option has now disappeared..
No updates or anything.
I explained before why it enabled
Just seen an announcement from the CAA on geeksvana. Existing C label drones can be reclassified as UK Label ones on direction from the manufacturer
I thought this might be the case as picture of the Avata 360 shows it with both C1 and UK1 labels. But it’s nice to see my theory was right.
Do you know which manufacturers are enabling this @nxsynjs ?
And for which model drones?
No, not yet. Just the principle, But seeing as the photos of the Avata 360 have both c1 and uk1 labels, it would indicate DJI think the are the same thing
This isn’t new news though. There’s always been the scope in the new regs for manufacturers to carry out their own assessments of products with EASA C classifications and self-certify them with the appropriate UK classifications:
I doubt very much that DJI have just decided that the UK1 classification is close enough to a C1 as to make them the same. More likely the dual classification indicates that the Avata 360 actually meets the requirements for both.
Hmm. Good point. Listening to the video the CAA say the decision is down to the manufacturer so surely DJI wouldn’t put both labels on the drone if they disagreed. All speculation and guess work, but the path of least cost and resistance seems more plausible.
Not to suggest there’s hyperbole involved in a Geeksvana video, but it doesn’t seem to be an “until now embargoed release from the CAA” so much as it is Sean’s mate Graeme going up to the CAA stand at a trade show, asking “What is the question you’ve been asked most by drone pilots” and being told that the most asked question by drone pilots is about retrospective class marks and the answer everybody has been given is that it’s up to the manufacturers to decide if they want to retrospectively classify existing drones.
Sean/Graeme have then emailed the CAA to ask if that’s true, and the CAA have replied that of course it’s true or they wouldn’t have said it to everybody at the trade show who asked the same question.
But call it “BREAKING: Major CAA Decision…” and watch the indignant comments flow in to the channel ![]()
I very much agree. Just because the Avata 360 has both labels doesn’t mean that the classifications are interchangeable, it means that that specific drone meets the requirements for both classifications.
Also, we learned today in the thread about green flashing lights on C0 drones that listening to “some guy off YouTube” might not be the best policy…
Or that as of January just gone, any new drone models sold here have to be UK classified.
one thing is certain, DJI won’t be issuing labels for old drones
They are in the business of selling
I got a C label for my Air 2S in 2024, and a C label for my Mavic 3 in (I think) 2023. DJI aren’t as terrible as you’re making out.
Them days are gone.
I have no issues with DJI but they won’t be retrofitting class marking anymore
£5 bet
Done ![]()
Hardly right, this is a brand new to the market drone and not some legacy thing
As for the Vana zzz zz z
