  • Large: 30mm x 15mm area, 1g weight, for Mavic Pro, Phantom 3 Series, Inspire Series and Matrice Series
  • Small: 20mm x 10mm, 1g weight, for Spark, Mavic 2, Mavic Air and Phantom 4 Series

Where on the drone does the license plate have to be affixed?

Since the DJI drone license plate is small and light, it does not affect the flight characteristics of your camera drone. A precisely measured, central attachment is therefore not necessary. Nevertheless, DJI gives instructions for the installation of the various drone models, which are as follows:

  • Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom: Outside of the rear brackets (when folded) or gimbal base on the underside of the device
  • Mavic Air: On the area behind the camera gimbal (Caution: do not put pressure on the gimbal)
  • Mavic Pro series: Via the status LED or outside of the rear carrier (when folded)
  • Spark: Underside of a beam (edge ​​on edge)
  • Phantom 4 models: On the gimbal base on the bottom of the device
  • Phantom 3 Professional / Advanced / SE / 4K: On the gimbal base on the bottom of the device
  • Phantom 3 standard / Phantom 2 / Phantom 2 Vision +: On the battery compartment on the underside of the drone
  • Inspire 1 series: back of the battery-chamber cover (under the DJI logo)
  • Inspire 2 series: On one side of the servo (landing gear mechanism)
  • Matrice 100: In the middle of the end of the top plate between the M3 and M4 carriers
  • Matrice 200 series: Bottom, left or right in front of the battery compartment (not on the speakers)

Stick the DJI license plate on the drone

The drone license plate must be attached to the housing or another component of the drone mentioned above. Of course, this should be done with glue that sticks well. Unfortunately, no glue is included in the DJI offer; the scope of delivery only includes the license plate for aircraft. It is best to use a fireproof glue such as fireclay glue or glass glue, which can be applied finely. Because the drone license plate should lie as flat as possible on the housing. You can find fireproof glue at the hardware store or here at Amazon.
