DJI Flip - 4K/ 60 HDR Video and 31-Minute Flight Time
Published on 09/24/2026 at 08:10 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
DJI Flip is a compact camera drone with a foldable full-coverage propeller guard, a 1/1.3-inch image sensor, and palm takeoff without a remote controller. DJI lists a maximum flight time of 31 minutes and a takeoff weight under 249 g.
Compact Drone With Guarded Props
The aircraft weighs under 249 g with its Intelligent Flight Battery and a microSD card. Its folded dimensions are 136 x 62 x 165 mm, while the unfolded aircraft measures 233 x 280 x 79 mm.
The propeller guard folds with the aircraft and covers the propellers. DJI also specifies forward 3D infrared sensing and downward visual and infrared sensors, with a maximum takeoff altitude of 3,000 m.
4K Camera And Flight Data
The camera records 4K video at up to 100 frames per second, including 4K/60fps HDR capture. Still images reach 48MP, and the camera uses a 3-axis mechanical gimbal with a 1/1.3-inch sensor.
DJI specifies a 31-minute maximum flight time, a 3,110 mAh lithium-ion battery, and 22.3 Wh of energy. The aircraft supports DJI O4 transmission, with an FCC maximum transmission distance of 13 km in an unobstructed, interference-free test environment.
DJI Fly supports iOS 13.0 or later and Android 7.0 or later. The drone also includes 2 GB of internal storage and supports microSD cards up to 512 GB among the listed compatible cards.
Price And Package Choices
DJI announced US pricing on January 14, 2025. The DJI Flip with an RC-N3 controller was listed at $439, the DJI Flip with an RC 2 controller at $639, and the Fly More Combo with RC 2 at $779.
Compared with DJI Neo, the Flip offers a 1/1.3-inch 48MP camera and 31 minutes of listed flight time, while Neo uses a 1/2-inch 12MP camera and lists 18 minutes. DJI Neo starts at $199, so the Flip occupies a higher price and imaging tier within DJI's compact beginner-drone range.
Who DJI Flip Fits Best
DJI Flip suits first-time pilots who want guarded propellers, automatic subject tracking, and a camera capable of 4K/60fps HDR recording. Palm takeoff and app control reduce the equipment needed for short social-video captures, while the RC-N3 and RC 2 packages add conventional remote control.
The under-249-g weight does not remove the need to follow US aviation rules. Maximum flight time, transmission distance, and sensor performance are measured under stated test conditions, so wind, obstacles, firmware, and operating environment affect actual flights.
DJI Flip In Context
DJI Flip sits between lightweight selfie drones and more conventional camera drones. Its guarded folding design and 48MP camera separate it from DJI Neo, while its 31-minute rating is shorter than the 34-minute figure listed for DJI Mini 4 Pro.
The result is a beginner-focused camera drone with a strong emphasis on protected propellers, simple capture modes, and vertical-video workflows. It is less suited to pilots who prioritize the longest possible endurance or advanced obstacle sensing in every direction.
