Petition for DJI to Update Phantom 4 Pro V2 to be Remote ID Compliant
The Issue
- Starting September 16, 2023, all drones flown in the US weighing over 249g or flown for commercial purposes must comply with FAA Remote ID regulations.
- Many commercial and recreational drone operators fly the highly popular Phantom 4 Pro, with some relying heavily on this drone for their livelihood.
- DJI has said many times that current drones would be updated to support Remote ID.
- The Phantom 4 Pro V2 is listed as current on DJI's site, and was sold new as recently as several months ago
- DJI has told some customers on multiple occasions the Phantom 4 Pro V2 would be updated with Remote ID.
- DJI has already updated and achieved compliance (DOC) for an older drone, the Mavic Pro Platinum, which utilizes the same communications protocol and control software as the Phantom 4 Pro V2.
- DJI now states it will not be bringing this drone into compliance via a firmware update despite being completely capable of doing so in an apparent effort to push people to their more expensive, less capable products.
- This is a petition for DJI to not abandon users of this drone, many of whom have made significant investments in this technology and rely on them for their business.
