The DJI Flip (model number DF1A0424) is a compact quadcopter drone designed for both personal and professional aerial photography and videography. Manufactured by the Chinese tech firm DJI, it is operated via teleoperation.
Design and development
Introduced in January 2025, the Flip is aimed at entry-level users. DJI developed this model to merge the ease of use found in the DJI Neo with the imaging capabilities present in the DJI Mini, without intending to replace either existing lineup. The Flip's weight is slightly less than , which is heavier compared to the Neo's . It incorporates four foldable arms equipped with integrated carbon fiber propeller guards, marking DJI's first use of such guards on a folding drone.
Equipped with a 48-megapixel camera featuring a 1/1.3-inch CMOS sensor, the Flip can capture 4K HDR video at 60 frames per second, stabilized by a three-axis gimbal. It includes forward and downward-facing lidar sensors for obstacle avoidance and runs on a 3110 mAh battery that supports flight durations up to 31 minutes.
While its camera quality rivals that of the Mini 4 Pro, the Flip has faced criticism due to its bulkier folded form and louder noise output despite having ducted propellers. The propeller guards allow for secure hand launches and landings but may decrease performance in windy conditions. Weighing below 250 grams, it avoids registration requirements in the US and certain other countries; however, its absence of Remote ID functionality restricts its suitability for professional applications.
