Holy Stone Remote ID module down to just $21? How to snag this deal that’s as true as it’s good

Drone enthusiasts, rejoice! You can now snag a Holy Stone FAA Compliant Remote Identification Broadcast Module for a steal. That’s right, for a limited time, you can get this Holy Stone Remote ID module for just $20.99. That’s a whopping $70 off the original price of $89.99.

How? You’ll need a specific promo code that Holy Stone has shared exclusively with drone industry content creators like me.

Normally priced at $89.99, the Holy Stone FAA Compliant Remote Identification Broadcast Module has actually long been discounted to $69.99 on Amazon. But we’ve got an even sweeter deal for you. Amazon currently has a 50% off coupon, bringing the price down to $35.

To get that promo code to apply, you simply need to click the button on the main Holy Stone Remote ID module storefront page to apply that promo code:

Holy Stone Remote ID

Okay, so now you’re at $35. But when you use the exclusive promo code RID20OFF at checkout, you get an additional 20% off. What’s even more wild though is that the 20% off actually applies to the prior $70 price, not the $35 price. That means you get 20% off $70, which makes for an additional $14 off the $35 price.

And with that, you’re down to just $21. I’ve never seen a Remote ID module anywhere near that cheap.

Here’s the full breakdown:

  • Original price: $89.99
  • Amazon discount: $69.99
  • Amazon coupon: $35
  • Our promo code (20% off $70): $14 off

That’s how you end up with a final price of just $20.99!

The RID20OFF promo expires on Aug. 31 at 11:59 p.m. PT. But, because it’s unclear when the 50% off deal ends, you should jump on this deal now. Get the Holy Stone Remote ID discount here.

Why you should pair your Holy Stone Remote ID module with Amazon Prime

One annoying drawback. Though the deal is killer, you’ll owe $6.99 in shipping and handling fees. That is, unless you’re an Amazon Prime member.

That said, you can become an Amazon Prime member for free (albeit for a brief period of time) by taking part in the Amazon Prime free trial. Amazon Prime membership typically costs $14.99 per month, but you can get your first 30 days free by signing up through this link. Just be sure to cancel before the trial ends if you don’t want to get charged for the ongoing membership so you can truly get the Remote ID module for $21 (with no additional $7 fee).

Why this deal is, well, a big deal

This incredible deal on the Holy Stone Remote ID module is more than just a bargain. It’s a crucial step towards safer skies — and making it possible for drone pilots to become Remote ID compliant.

Not to mention, the Holy Stone Remote ID module gets great reviews too. It’s lightweight (weighing about 14 grams) — so it won’t significantly reduce your drone’s flight times. And it has a long life of its own, capable of going about five hours on one charge. It’s easy to set up, and it works reliably well.

The Federal Aviation Administration put Remote ID regulation into effect in September 2022. It’s part of an effort to enhance safety, security, and accountability in airspace. Though, it wasn’t until March 2024 that drone pilots were legally required to abide by the rules and ensure their aircraft is Remote ID compliant.

Yet many drone pilots have said the initial cost of compliance has been a barrier for many drone enthusiasts. And even still, many drone pilots fly out of compliance. After all, many Remote ID modules hover in the $100 price point (and some closer to $200). Some have said that price tag is prohibitively expensive, especially for hobbyists or small businesses.

So with that comes an opportunity to get what some consider critical safety equipment at an actually affordable price point. And perhaps that will encourage more drone pilots to comply with the regulations. It’s a win for drone pilots, the FAA and the general public.
