DJI Flip - drone with foldable design

DJI Flip is the latest offering of DJI, which is distinguished by its lightweight and foldable design (under 249 g) and an advanced camera with a resolution of 48 MP, recording in quality 4K/60FPS HDR. It is ideal for those who want to create high-quality videos and photos on the go. Equipped with features such as AI Subject Tracking, intelligent recording modes and flight time up to 31 minutes, Flip combines ease of use and professional capabilities.

DJI Flip vs DJI Neo

DJI The Neo is a versatile drone that, like the Flip, is designed for ease of use and versatility. Both models are lightweight, compact and offer the functions of automatic object tracking. However, the DJI Flip stands out with a more advanced camera with a 1/1.3" sensor, offering 4K HDR videos and 48 MP photos. The Neo, although cheaper, is no match for the Flip in terms of image quality and modern technologies such as Dual Native ISO Fusion and 10-bit D-Log M mode. If you prioritize image quality and modern features, DJI Flip will be a better choice.

DJI Flip vs DJI Hover Air X1

The Hover Air X1 is an ultra-compact drone with a foldable design that targets traveling users. What they have in common is that both drones feature a collapsible design. Although its Hover design makes it highly mobile, this DJI Flip offers more in terms of creative functions and image quality. The Flip is distinguished by its advanced camera, longer flight time (31 minutes vs. 20 minutes in the X1), and more intuitive control via smartphone and voice commands. Although the Hover Air X1 excels in mobility, DJI Flip offers better performance, longer flight time and more advanced creative features.

DJI Flip vs DJI Mini 3

DJI Mini 3 and DJI Flip have a similar premise - both are lightweight, portable and easy to use. The Mini 3 offers a longer flight time of up to 38 minutes and a 4-axis gimbal, which makes it a better choice in difficult conditions. However, the Flip is distinguished by its foldable design, more advanced camera, the ability to record dynamic slow motion shots, support for 4G transmission (with an additional module) and, of course, many automatic functions. DJI Mini 3 will perform better in demanding conditions, but DJI Flip is more versatile and creative.
