DJI Flip drone: Flippin’ fantastic
At $439, it is lightweight, beginner-friendly, and packed with features like propeller guards, a 48MP camera, and FPV mode — all without breaking the bank
If you have ever dreamed of owning a drone but felt intimidated by the complexity or cost, we might have found your perfect match. DJI's new Flip drone is a game-changer for beginners and enthusiasts alike.
Priced at $439, the Flip combines safety, simplicity and impressive specs into one sleek package. Weighing under 250g, it is designed with novice pilots in mind. But do not let its beginner-friendly nature fool you — this drone packs a punch.
One of its standout features is the propeller guards, borrowed from its smaller sibling, the DJI Neo. These guards not only protect the drone from crashes but also make it safer to handle. You can even land it on your palm — a feature that feels as futuristic as it sounds. It is like having a pet bird that comes back to you on command.

The Flip's camera is another highlight. With a 1/1.3-inch CMOS sensor, it captures stunning 48MP stills and smooth 4K/60fps video. The three-axis gimbal ensures footage stays stable, even in windy conditions, according to a review by Tom's Guide.
And for those who want to feel like a pro, the FPV Mode lets you tilt and roll with the drone, adding a thrilling edge to your flights.
While it lacks some advanced tracking features found in pricier models like the DJI Mini 4 Pro, the Flip more than makes up for it with its ease of use and affordability. You can fly it straight from your smartphone using the DJI Fly app.
