Compared to other consumer drones, what sets DJI Flip apart?
DJI Flip is DJI's first drone equipped with a foldable full-coverage propeller guard*, making it ideal for aerial photography, everyday recording, and leisure activities.
1. At less than 249 g, DJI Flip weighs about as much as an apple and fits in the palm of your hand. It features a foldable full-coverage propeller guard, ensuring safe flight.
2. DJI Flip features a 1/1.3-inch sensor, capable of recording 4K/60fps HDR video with an optional 10-bit D-Log M color format. It supports various shooting modes and offers full HD video transmission up to 13 km** with DJI O4. DJI Flip also includes intelligent features like FocusTrack, QuickShots, MasterShots, and Hyperlapse.
3. Once the arms are unfolded, DJI Flip powers on automatically. Simply press the mode button on the side to quickly switch between intelligent shooting modes and take off from your hand for instant filming. Flip automatically does the rest to capture impressive footage.
4. DJI Flip excels in both high-altitude and low-altitude flights, delivering stunning close-up tracking that makes it feel like you have your own personal cameraman.

** Measured under FCC standard in unobstructed environments with typical interference. Used for reference purposes only and provides no guarantee for actual transmission distance.
Who is DJI Flip suitable for?
DJI Flip is an all-in-one vlog camera drone, ideal for aerial photography, everyday recording, and leisure activities.
If you need a portable drone that can instantly start recording during activities like travel, camping, cycling, skateboarding, hiking, parenting, dog walking, or playing with cats, DJI Flip is your perfect choice.
DJI Flip is suitable for users aged 16 and above.
What control methods does DJI Flip support?
DJI Flip supports palm control, mobile app control, voice control and remote controller control*.
* The virtual joysticks on the mobile app interface are only for fine-tuning the drone's position during shooting or controlling the drone to return. It cannot provide the same control experience as a traditional remote controller. You can use a standard DJI remote controller for a professional flight control experience. To ensure flight safety, when using mobile app control, the drone is limited to a maximum height of 30 meters and a maximum distance of 50 meters.
Does DJI Flip support automatic power-on when unfolding the arms and automatic power-off when folding the arms?
DJI Flip supports automatic power-on when the arms are unfolded. The drone will power on automatically when any rear arm is extended. When unfolded, the drone will also power on automatically after a battery replacement, allowing for quick relaunch. If the drone is not performing an upgrade, playback, or download,* folding both rear arms will trigger an automatic shutdown countdown. During the countdown, pressing any button on the drone will cancel the shutdown.
These features can be disabled in the app's settings page when the drone is connected to the remote controller.** Once disabled, the drone will no longer power on automatically when the arms are unfolded or power off automatically when the arms are folded.
* If the drone has experienced a collision during the current flight, the fold-to-shutdown feature will not be activated for that flight.
** Please update to the latest drone firmware and DJI Fly app to access these settings.

1. Standard aircraft weight (including the Intelligent Flight Battery, propellers, and a microSD card). The actual product weight may vary due to differences in batch materials and external factors. Training or examination is not required for flying this product in most countries and regions. Always check local laws and regulations before use.
2. Automatic braking is supported only when flying in the Normal mode and Cine mode and during return-to-home. Intelligent functions (including Subject Tracking) do not support obstacle avoidance. If you use palm takeoff, the DJI Fly app, or a remote controller, the aircraft will only decelerate and automatically brake when it detects an obstacle within 1 meter ahead. The aircraft can perform an emergency brake if the following speed is less than 3m/s. However, if the follow speed is 3 m/s or faster, the braking distance may be insufficient, and the aircraft could collide with the obstacle. Please carefully observe your surroundings and use smart features in open areas.
3. Palm takeoff requires subject confirmation. When using palm takeoff, adhere to the following guidelines: operate in a windless environment as much as possible; hold the sides of the aircraft body from below with the camera facing the subject; make sure that your hand does not block the camera and that there are no obstacles obstructing the takeoff; avoid finger contact with the propellers to prevent injury; do not attempt to grab the drone while it is flying.
4. Achieved with QBC (Quad Bayer Coding) techniques that combine four pixels into one. Not supported when shooting 48MP photos.
