Ran across a good article posted on the Drone Girl website discussing the subject apps. Links to overview of the four offerings and reviews of them: B4UFLY app providers overview B4UFLY apps reviewed

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water...er...safe to launch your drone. Congress is working on legislation that may have far reaching and unintended consequences on commercial and recreational drones. Read about it: 67% of American drone business under closure threat...

Shortly after making the OP, I browsed the Mavic forums and several people indicated they tried some of the offerings and found them to be basically like the original B4UFLY with some minor variations. Overall, it seemed like Chevys and Fords...some like and are familiar with Chevys, others...

The FAA's B4UFly app changed starting Feb. 1st and the single app has been replaced with "four companies to provide B4UFLY services through desktop and mobile applications. All of the four apps supposedly work with iOS and Android, with all but one working on desktops. These companies also...

I'm not sure how your Vifly strobe compares with my Strobon dimensionally, but I put mine on the right-rear leg for visibility when flying away from me. I suppose ideally one on top and one on the underside might offer the best visibility from most angles. There's not a lot of ground clearance...

Don't know if you've got an answer, but mounting it at the midpoint of the "fuselage" about where the vents are on the left & right sides. That puts it clear of components like GPS.

Put mine on in the same area as Sparksrster. I googled "DJI Spark component diagram" and found good photos. The GPS is in the rear over the battery compartment, so midway of the body above the pair of cooling vents on either side looks optimal to me.

Another top quality offering, Robin. Excellent music track choice and a perfect accompaniment to fabulous scenery. Well done!

Got mine on the $72 Cyber Monday sale. Having watched various videos, including one by Holy Stone, the setup and registration with the FAA went flawlessly. I can't find anything citing a particular drone tracking app to see if/how it works, but Holy Stone says if the right hand green LED is...

I ran across a Cyber Monday deal on the Holy Stone remote ID module on Amazon for $71.99, normally $89.99. That's the lowest price I've seen on an FAA compliant remote ID module and the YT reviews look good, especially since it works with any brand UAS. If anyone is interested.

Since the FAA granted a 6 month delay on the deadline for RID, there hasn't been a flood of new broadcast modules on the market. Drone maker Holy Stone has an FAA approved RID that reportedly works on UASs, not just their own models. Current pricing is around the $90 mark which is...

It seems subsequent events have settled the issue. It will be interesting to see how the "industry" responds in regard to attachable remote units at anything close to the FAA's earlier estimate of around $50 USD. Six months will go quickly and even with the lead-time up to now, the initial...

I ran across a YT video by Ken Heron discussing word that the FAA is postponing the Sept. 16th deadline for implementation requiring Remote Identification for drones. I searched the subject and found numerous other sites saying the same thing, although it's my understanding the FAA has not...

Well, here we are 13 days from the RID deadline and, sorry to say, I haven't found anything lower priced than the Db120 for a self- contained, compliant module. Several companies say they expect to field products "by or soon after Sept 16th". This thread's title was based on optimism, but thus...

I have no experience with the Mini 2, so I can't offer any ideas, but a quick google search for DJI Mini 2 OTG cable shows several from various sources available in different lenghs. Amazon is showing OEM Spark batteries from a couple of vendors for $79 . Nothing says they're in used condition...
