Highlights
Why it stands out
Major Upgrade
Under 250g, no license
You can fly it almost anywhere without the hassle of registration or pilot certification.
Best-in-Class
O4 video transmission
You get a rock-solid, low-latency HD feed from the drone, even in busy suburban areas.
31-minute max flight time
You have more time in the air to get the shot, though real-world use will be less.
1/1.3-inch sensor & f/1.7
You can capture cleaner, more detailed photos and video in lower light than most sub-250g drones.
Pros & Cons
The good and the bad
Pros
- Shoot smooth, cinematic footage thanks to the 3-axis mechanical gimbal and multiple flight modes (Cine, Normal, Sport).
- Confidently fly in light winds (up to Level 5) without the drone getting tossed around.
- Get your footage off the drone quickly with fast Wi-Fi download speeds (up to 30 MB/s).
- Charge two batteries simultaneously in about 70 minutes with the optional hub, minimizing downtime.
Cons
- Obstacle sensing is only downward and forward; you must manually avoid sideways and backward obstacles.
- Internal storage is a paltry 2GB, so you're immediately dependent on a microSD card.
- The advertised 13km range is a perfect-world lab figure; expect 1-2.5km in a typical city.

FAQ
Common Questions
What is the maximum flight altitude and distance for DJI Flip in Palm Control?
When using Palm Control with the DJI Flip, the maximum flight altitude is 30 meters and the maximum flight distance is 50 meters. These limits cannot be changed in the DJI Fly app. Return to Home (RTH) is not supported in this mode, so maintaining visual line of sight is crucial.
Does the DJI Flip have obstacle avoidance?
Yes, the DJI Flip has a forward 3D infrared sensing system and a downward vision system for obstacle sensing. The forward system activates automatically in Normal or Cine mode when Obstacle Avoidance Action is set to 'Brake' in DJI Fly. However, obstacle sensing is only available during manual forward flight or auto Return to Home, not in Intelligent Flight Modes or Smart Snaps.
Can I use the DJI Flip to track vehicles or animals?
No, according to the manual, the DJI Flip's ActiveTrack feature within FocusTrack can only track people. The manual explicitly states 'ActiveTrack can only track people.' and for Smart Snaps, it notes 'Smart Snaps only supports the tracking of people.'
What are the different flight modes on the DJI Flip?
The DJI Flip supports three main flight modes switched via the remote controller: Normal mode for stable flight and intelligent modes, Sport mode for higher speed (obstacle sensing disabled), and Cine mode for limited speed and stable recording. If systems fail, it may enter Attitude (ATTI) mode, where it cannot hover automatically and is more susceptible to drift.
How do I power on the DJI Flip for the first time?
To power on the DJI Flip for the first time, press, then press and hold the power button. Alternatively, unfolding either one of the rear arms will automatically power on the aircraft by default. Ensure the gimbal protector is removed and all arms are unfolded before powering on to avoid affecting self-diagnostics.
