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.

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.

DJI continues its streak of innovative (and highly leaked) drones with the launch of the Flip, a lightweight and people-safe models that folds in a new direction — downward — to accommodate the large,

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.

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.
