I haven't followed drone stuff closely in a while. any idea how this affects an older drone like a DJI spark that wasn't designed with these requirements in mind? is it just impossible to fly legally now?
- heartbreak 6y agoThese requirements won't affect a DJI Spark for at least another 2.5 years, by which point hopefully DJI will have a retrofit solution.
- rexf 6y agoI genuinely wonder how much DJI cares about supporting older drones such as the discontinued Spark. Or would they rather sell you the latest drone instead (Mavic Mini or future equivalent)?

- snuxoll 6y agoAfter reading the rules, I don't see any technical standards on how the system must be implemented - so it's entirely likely that the work DJI has already done on "Drone to Phone" broadcast identification can be retrofitted onto existing platforms with a firmware update as they had hoped. Too soon to tell for sure, but as somebody who just upgraded to a Mavic Air 2 this year from a Spark I am hopeful (DJI may not always be a shining example of a consumer friendly enterprise, see the SDK fiascos this year, but they don't want to piss off everybody who has bought a drone in the past few years either).
