Today's quesiton is about drone remote id and micro-drones like the DJI Mavic Mini 2.

Our caller for today, Adam has a question about Remote ID. If you are a regular ADU listener, you might be aware of this contentious issue that will greatly impact the drone industry as a whole.

Now, Adam is wondering if he needs to comply with these restrictive remote-id rules at all if he flies a micro-drone weighing less than 250 grams.

DJI recently launched the DJI Mavic Mini 2 which comes with 4K capabilities and Occusync. Additionally, as per industry rumors, their soon-to-be-released FPV drone shall weigh less than 250 grams as well.

So, will these new remote id rules be applicable to drone pilots flying these sub-250 gram micro drones? Do Part 107 rules apply to drone pilots who are flying these micro-drones for commercial purposes?

Tune in to find out. Thanks for the great questIon, Adam. Fly Safe!
