I believe @Newton was pointing out that the OP's questions were not answered.
As for being over 250g, there are DJI drones over 250g that don't have Remote ID. So, the weight of the aircraft is not always the deciding indicator.

I believe all newer model DJI drones that are over 250g now come equipped with Remote ID.

Yes, you are indeed correct. I suspect that trend will continue in DJI's consumer drones.

The Neo doesn't have the option to use Remote ID at all.
All Mini 3 packages come with standard batteries. Remote ID is disabled unless you optionally purchase and use a Battery Plus. And at that point, it makes little sense to even have any standard batteries as you will always be required to fly with Remote ID since the drone will be registered with the FAA.
Mini 4 Pro works the same, too, not broadcasting RID unless a plus battery is inserted, bringing the done to over 250g.

Yep! I guess one notable difference is DJI sells a Mini 4 Pro package with the plus battery, making Remote ID usable right out of the box.

The Neo doesn’t - at least the ones sold in the U.S. I believe it’s enabled on units sold in China and Japan. It’s too bad, it would qualify for Part 107 Cat 1 Operations Over People out of the box had it included Remote ID. Users have to buy a separate ID module for OOP.
Edit: Added DJI confirmation on Neo RID as an attachment.

It's why I outsource mine. I would rather have something nice than generic black text on a white label.
I liked the stickers from PilotInstitute but decided to make my own. I need to get it centered more on the label before I apply one to my drone and batteries.
It's 1.5" x 0.62"
See? I'm kind of the opposite. I wanted something small, informative and thorough. The sticker I did is on a polyester film so it's 100% waterproof (hope it's never an issue) so if it got lost for a while and someone came across it, the info is still readable.
I have access to a myriad of printers and there's nothing I probably can't get printed for free or a small favor. Being in the printing industry for 40 years has it's privileges.
Right now I'm printing a Halloween door decoration on my 36" printer. Unfortunately, that one doesn't print waterproof. My label printer is only single color (unless I go through great trouble to do other colors)
FWIW, the PilotInstitute ones come in a few different color combos from them. They're far from genetic black on white. They do a good job on them.
Indeed. User controlled RID broadcast (technically prohibited by the FAA) through choice of batteries. Available for those who are required to have it, while not burdening everyone with RID who does not require it. Good on DJI!
