I'm not positive, but some cords are designed to communicate both ways. It is possible that the dedicated charger receives a signal back from the controller to perform functions like over charge protection. I'm not positive, but I think it might be something like that.

I just saw a video that Aludels have a "Boat Mode" setting in the controller. This makes it easier to take off from uneven wavy surfaces.

Unfortunately these hysterical ignorant people can have a negative affect on the drone industry because some politicians and media are paying attention to them.

If the drone and controller lost connectivity, they need to be paired again. Check instructions for pairing procedure.

I've argued online with a lot of people online about the supposed drone sightings. It seems that most of the people spreading the hysteria are people wearing tin hats or people living in the stone age not having any knowledge about drones. There are some bad apples out there not following FAA...

I agree, why would you use a drone when you can do it with a regular camera? The only reason I could think of would be if you wanted to include the eclipse in scenic panorama.

The most popular model is the Dronetag MIni. It cost about $300. I bought mine last Summer from Vertigo Drones. I heard that there are a lot of backorders because of people procrastinating and the FAA extended the deadline by 6 months. Get it done ASAP.

You can attach a third party RID to any drone as long as you register the RID with the FAA. You can also use one RID amongst multiple drones.

You can get a Dronetag Mini for $299. Several drone dealerships sell them. I purchased mine from Vertigo Drones.

Just purchase a Dronetag Mini and attach it to your drone and you can keep on using it.

Yes, you register the Dronetag, but in is registered under the aircrafts you want to be compliant. You go to the drone registration and check the aux. RID box and then the Dronetag ID#..

Some Autel products are RID ready and some aren't. If you have a non-compliant unit, buy a Dronetag and register it under your non-compliant aircraft.

I recently had a little accident and backed my Autel EVO with Dronetag mounted into a limb and it fell about 15-20 feet. The Dronetag and battery came off the drone. Even though the Velcro is pretty secure, it can come apart in an accident. I was thinking about augmenting the RID with...

Sometimes people sell used parts or "for parts only" on EBay.

Check Vertigo Drones at VertigoDrones.com . They sell and repair drones. They used to be primarily a Yuneec dealer and service center, but they now sell Autel and DJI. Last time I looked, they also sold Yuneec parts.
