DJI has introduced its new DJI Flip, an all-in-one vlog camera drone with foldable, full-coverage propeller guards for flight safety.
Weighing less than 249 grams, th compact drone features foldable full-coverage propeller guards for safe and reliable flying. With one tap of a button, photographers can capture 48MP photos and 4K videos with the drone’s 1/1.3-inch CMOS sensor. Since it can be protected at all times, the DJI Flip is suitable for even beginner pilots.
Described as combining the simplicity of the DJJI Neo with the photo capabilities of the DJI Mini, the DJI Flip is designed for capturing aerial photography and close-up portraits. It has creative tolls like AI subject tracking and intelligent shooting modes, along with additional safety features like automatic braking.
The foldable, full-coverage guard wraps the propellers to avoid injury or damage to the drone. Made of lightweight and strong carbon fiber string, the guard’s support structure is only 1/60 the weight of guards made with traditional polycarbonate material while maintaining the same stiffness and durability to ensure safe flights.
The lightweight and compact palm-sized drone is ideal for travel, easily brought along on a hike, climb, or bike ride. Tap the mode button to select from six intelligent shooting modes: Dronie, Circle, Rocket, Spotlight, Helix, and Boomerang. AI Subject Tracking can be enabled to keep a subject in the frame.
High-dynamic 48MP photos can be captured with more highlight and shadow details. The camera is powered by a 1/1.3-inch CMOS sensor featuring Dual Native ISO Fusion and f/1.7 aperture. It can also capture photos with up to four times zoom. Intricate details can be preserved with next-gen SmartPhoto, which combines HDR imaging, scene recognition, and more.
DJI Flip records HDR video at 4K resolution and 60 frames per second as well. It also supports slow-motion recording at 4K/100fps and 10-bit D-Log M color mode. A 4:3-aspect-ratio CMOS sensor provides enough space for vertical crops while maintaining a 2.7k resolution, optimized for smartphone viewing and social media without any cropping needed.
MasterShots allows DJI Flip to automatically perform diverse camera movements, shooting multiple clips and editing them with music, cuts, and effects for fast and simplified cinematic footage. With Hyperlapse, select from four options, including Free, Circle, Course Lock, and Waypoint to capture timelapse footage at up to 4K horizontally or 2.7K vertically.
Use FocusTrack to find creative ways to follow your subject. The suite includes ActiveTrack 4.0, Spotlight 2.0, and Point of Interest 3.0. Panorama supports shooting 180°, Wide Angle, Vertical, and Sphere panoramic photos to capture landscapes.
With a 31-minute max flight time, the 3D Infrared Sensing System supports automatic braking for enhanced safety, even at night. When paired with the DJI RC-N3 or RC 2 remote controller, DJI O4 video transmission supports up to 13 km of 1080p/60fps video transmission and has excellent anti-interference capabilities, allowing you to explore vast landscapes with clarity. The DJI Flip can be operated with the DJI RC-N3 or RC 2 remote controllers. It can also operate with the DJI Fly app or Voice Control for hands-free flying. When connected to your phone, it can capture audio and intelligently reduce noise, automatically filtering out propeller noise.
The DJI Flip Parallel Charging Hub charges two batteries simultaneously, significantly reducing charging time. With the DJI Fly app, footage can be transferred at speeds up to 30MB/s. Local Data Mode acts like “airplane mode” on the phone by completely disconnecting the DJI Flip from the internet, ensuring all data stays only in the drone.
DJI Flip is available to order for US$439 or you can get it with the DJI RC 2 remote controller for US$639. There’s also the Fly More Combo bundle that includes the DJI rC 2 as well for US$779.
