Z-RID Lite — The digital license plate for your drone.
Z-RID Lite is Zing's Remote ID broadcast module: it transmits identification and flight data over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth so recreational, commercial, and public-safety operators meet Remote ID requirements without replacing their aircraft.
One compact module. Everything it needs to broadcast.
Z-RID Lite carries its own position source, its own broadcast radio, and its own power — no external receiver or network connection required to meet the broadcast requirement in the air. It attaches directly to the aircraft, so compliance takes minutes rather than a redesign.

Spec sheet and user manuals.
User manuals are published per region, because Remote ID requirements differ between the FAA, EASA, and CAAS. Download the one that matches where you fly.
Built for every operator required to broadcast.
Z-RID Lite is designed for a wide range of aircraft, but Zing does not promise universal compatibility. Operators must confirm applicable Remote ID requirements for their region and verify their aircraft, installation, and power configuration before relying on it for compliance.
Where Z-RID Lite fits.
Common questions about Z-RID Lite.
Z-RID Lite has received regulatory approval from the FAA (United States), EASA (Europe), and CAAS (Singapore). Operators remain responsible for confirming that their specific aircraft, installation, and use case meet applicable requirements in their jurisdiction.
Z-RID Lite attaches directly to the aircraft and is designed to support a wide range of custom, enterprise, and legacy drones. Because installation requirements vary by airframe, operators should verify compatibility, mounting, and power requirements for their specific aircraft before relying on it for compliance.
Z-RID Lite is available in battery-powered and externally powered configurations, with 8+ hours of continuous runtime on battery.
All registered pilots — recreational, commercial, and public safety — are required to operate with Remote ID. Z-RID Lite provides that broadcast capability for aircraft without built-in Standard Remote ID.
