DJI Flip combines advanced imaging technology with user-friendly features and safety innovations, positioning itself as an ideal choice for content creators looking for a reliable and versatile drone.

At $439, the DJI Flip could be a good starting point for people who don’t typically buy drones. You can unfold it, launch it from your hand with a single button, land it on your hand again, or optionally use joysticks, all while capturing higher-quality photos and video than the immediate competition.

I tested the new DJI Flip drone and you can read what I think about it's design, functionality, performance and more.

Four short months after introducing the truly palm-size Neo, DJI is back with another pint-sized consumer drone. The Flip continues the drone giant’s

Like the Neo, the $440 DJI Flip can launch from your palm, but it includes better object avoidance tech and a bigger sensor.

The DJI Flip marks the first in a new series of “all-in-one” drones from the Chinese aerial photography and videography experts. Weighing less than 249g (8.7oz), the compact drone has been designed for maximum portability and measures in at just 136×62×165 mm when folded – it’s small enough to be almost pocketable.

There’s one missing part. The DJI Flip can’t be used as an FPV (first person view) drone, with one of DJI’s nifty first-person view headsets, and it doesn’t support DJI’s motion controller either.

One of the best features of DJI Flip Drone Camera is it supports palm takeoff without a remote control. This allows the photographer to capture moments on the go easier than ever before. Additionally,

The DJI Flip offers significantly longer battery life, providing up to 31 minutes of flight time. This extended duration allows for more creative flexibility and longer shooting sessions. The Neo has a shorter battery life, offering up to 18 minutes of flight time, which is more limiting but still sufficient for casual and beginner users.

The DJI Flip marks yet another entirely new airframe design from DJI. Sure, there have been size & weight changes, camera improvements, and extra features but – until the recent DJI Neo – the consumer category hasn't seen much other than incremental changes since the folding revolution – and that came in 2016 with the Mavic Pro.
