    The DJI Flip Drone Is Small, Collapsible, and Impressively Capable

    The DJI Flip Drone Is Small, Collapsible, and Impressively Capable

    The Fly More Combo also comes with three batteries (each of which gives the Flip up to 31 minutes of flight time) rather than one, a hub able to hold four batteries at once (recharging them consecutively). and a robust shoulder bag able to accommodate itself and all of the above. I think it’s well worth the extra outlay if you plan on using the Flip regularly, but those who want a simple, affordable gateway to the world of camera drones can stick with the base package, which includes the Flip, an RC-N3 controller (which attaches to your smartphone), and a single battery.

    Camera Quality

    The camera is built around a 48-MP 1/1.3-inch Quad Bayer CMOS sensor capable of recording 4K/60p video in standard modes and 4K/100p video for slow-motion playback. It’s mounted on a three-axis gimbal for stability and smooth movement. It can capture still photos in JPEG and/or DNG RAW format at 12-MP or 48-MP resolution, and for video supports HDR, 10-bit D-Log M, and HLG color profiles.

    That’s virtually identical to the camera on the DJI Mini 4 Pro, with the one key difference being the Mini 4 Pro’s ability to rotate the camera through 90 degrees to shoot native 4K 16:9 footage for social media and the like; the Flip can shoot 4K 9:16 footage, but only by cropping, which reduces the maximum resolution to 2.7K.

    The Mini 4 Pro’s omnidirectional obstacle avoidance also boosts its camera functionality by supporting better, more responsive subject tracking, including for faster-moving subjects like cars and motorcycles. That’s just not possible on the Flip.

    In terms of video and photo quality, however, it’s hard to see much difference between the two models. In comparison to the much pricier DJI Air 3S, sure, the Flip’s detail and dynamic range can seem lacking, but for a tiny drone in this price range I have no major complaints about its camera performance. The sample footage I’ve shot demonstrates its aptitude for strong dynamic range, sharp detail, and engaging, accurate colors; and compared to the DJI Neo the Flip’s images are far, far better.

    People who already own a DJI Mini 3 Pro or Mini 4 Pro probably won’t see any advantage in swapping for the Flip. However, it might be the perfect choice for beginners looking to get into drone photography and videography, but who want a bit more quality and versatility than the ultra-affordable DJI Neo offers.

    In short, the Flip is the best new entry-level drone on the market, and it comes highly recommended.
