Yes, the DJI Mini 4 Pro is equipped with Remote ID functionality, ensuring compliance with relevant aviation regulations.
Understanding Remote ID on DJI Drones
Remote ID is a digital license plate for drones, designed to enhance the safety and security of the national airspace. It allows authorities to identify drones in flight, similar to how license plates identify cars on the road. This technology broadcasts identification and location information from the drone to receivers on the ground, making drone operations more transparent and accountable.
The DJI Mini 4 Pro is one of the many DJI consumer drones that come with built-in Remote ID capabilities. This ensures that pilots operating the Mini 4 Pro can meet regulatory requirements in regions where Remote ID is mandated, such as the United States under FAA regulations.
DJI Drones Supporting Remote ID
Many of DJI's popular consumer drones support Remote ID. This includes not only newer models but also several established series. Below is a list of some DJI consumer drones that support Remote ID:
- DJI Avata 2
- DJI Mini 4 Pro
- DJI Air 3
- DJI Air 2S
- DJI Mavic 3 series (including Mavic 3 Classic, Mavic 3, Mavic 3 Cine)
- DJI Mini 3 series (including Mini 3, Mini 3 Pro)
- And all new DJI products launched after September 2022.
This broad support highlights DJI's commitment to compliance and safe drone operations.

Why Remote ID Matters for Drone Pilots
For drone pilots, Remote ID is crucial for several reasons:
- Regulatory Compliance: In many countries, Remote ID is a mandatory requirement for operating drones in controlled airspace or for specific types of operations. Having a compliant drone helps pilots avoid fines and legal issues.
- Airspace Safety: By providing real-time identification, Remote ID contributes to better airspace awareness for air traffic control, law enforcement, and other aircraft, reducing the risk of mid-air collisions.
- Public Acceptance: Transparency in drone operations can help foster public trust and acceptance of drones by demonstrating accountability and responsible use.
Ensuring Your Mini 4 Pro is Remote ID Compliant
For your DJI Mini 4 Pro to be fully compliant, it's important to:
- Keep Firmware Updated: Ensure your drone's firmware and the DJI Fly app are always updated to the latest versions. Manufacturers like DJI regularly release updates to maintain compliance with evolving regulations.
- Understand Local Regulations: Familiarize yourself with the specific Remote ID requirements in your country or region. For example, in the United States, the FAA has specific rules for drone operators.
- Register Your Drone: In many regions, drones equipped with Remote ID still need to be registered with the relevant aviation authority.
By ensuring your DJI Mini 4 Pro has the latest firmware and understanding local regulations, you can fly responsibly and enjoy your drone with peace of mind. For more detailed information on Remote ID compliance, you can refer to official resources from DJI's support channels or aviation authorities like the FAA.
