> Unless it weighs less than 250g - like many small FPV race drones, in which case it's exempt. A couple of notes/thoughts on this: Commercial drones like the new DJI Mini 3 pro still include Remote ID despite being sub-250g, most likely because it's possible to install a bigger battery and make it heavier. But I also suspect that bigger vendors will default to including this hardware because of the trend towards more and more tracking, i.e. the rule could change at any time. The other thing to note is that any commercial use of drones under Part 107 must comply with the Remote ID rule regardless of the drone's weight. This is further incentive for commercial drones to include it by default, as any drone that doesn't is automatically not usable in a commercial setting. Commercial use would include drone shots intended for sexier instagram posts, if those IG posts are monetized.
