DJI's got a new drone aimed at vloggers that folds down for easy storage in your bag and supports six AI-powered autonomous filming modes.

At $439, the DJI Flip could be a good starting point for people who don’t typically buy drones at all. You can unfold it, launch it from your hand with a single button, land it on your hand again, or optionally use joysticks, all while capturing higher quality photos and video than the immediate competition.

Four short months after introducing the truly palm-size Neo, DJI is back with another pint-sized consumer drone. The Flip continues the drone giant’s interest in foldable form factors, with a quartet of propeller guards that essentially stack up,

I tested the new DJI Flip drone and you can read what I think about it's design, functionality, performance and more.

Like the Neo, the $440 DJI Flip can launch from your palm, but it includes better object avoidance tech and a bigger sensor.

The DJI Flip marks yet another entirely new airframe design from DJI. Sure, there have been size & weight changes, camera improvements, and extra features but – until the recent DJI Neo – the consumer category hasn't seen much other than incremental changes since the folding revolution – and that came in 2016 with the Mavic Pro.

DJI just presented the Flip drone as a new, compact, and foldable product ideal for portability and aerial selfies. The DJI Flip features a 1/1.3-inch image sensor for high-quality video recording and innovative propeller protection.

The DJI Flip offers significantly longer battery life, providing up to 31 minutes of flight time. This extended duration allows for more creative flexibility and longer shooting sessions. The Neo has a shorter battery life, offering up to 18 minutes of flight time, which is more limiting but still sufficient for casual and beginner users.

The DJI Flip takes a novel approach to the foldable design, resulting in a compact drone ideal for traveling creatives.

DJI has announced the new DJI Flip, the first folding drone to feature full propeller guards from the leading company. This puts the company squarely in competition with HoverAir, a whole new category for the company which only introduced its first AI tracking drone – the DJI Neo – late last year.
