DJI Flip: New Key Specs and Promo Images

Announcement Imminent

Hello everyone! According to the latest information, the announcement of DJI's lightweight folding drone, the Flip, may happen in the coming days. Let's take a look at the fresh insider information that will help you learn more about this upcoming novelty before the official launch. Let's go!

Key Specifications

DJI Flip is a portable, lightweight, entry-level solution for safe amateur 4K aerial photography anytime, anywhere. It will occupy a model position between the Neo and Mini 4 Pro drones. It is primarily aimed at users who are just starting out in the hobby and want to develop quickly. The model is made of lightweight and impact-resistant materials. For easier transportation, the frame has a folding mechanism. For safe operation, the power unit is separated from the outside world by a ring-shaped protection. According to current information, the quadcopter's weight will be within 250 grams, which in many countries exempts the owner from the UAV registration procedure.

According to insider information, the Flip will receive a 4K HDR video system built on a camera with a 1/1.3-inch sensor size. Max video recording quality: 4K HDR/60 fps. Image stabilization is provided by a 2-axis mechanical gimbal, which will work in tandem with DJI's time-tested electronic stabilization.

Camera System

It is expected that the Flip will receive the flagship DJI OcuSync 4.0 (O4) digital video transmission system, providing compatibility with the latest DJI controllers and possibly improved range and signal stability.

Obstacle Recognition and Avoidance

All our verified insiders unanimously speak about this option, and it is also confirmed in the already leaked images. The Flip will receive obstacle recognition technology based on LiDAR. The drone is expected to be equipped with advanced AI-powered tracking functions and gesture recognition capabilities. This suggests that DJI is targeting its product primarily at beginners.

Power

Regarding power, insiders say that the Flip will receive a quick-release 2S (7.16V) battery with a capacity of 3110 mAh and a power of 22.3 Wh, providing a maximum flight time of 31 minutes on a single charge. The battery weight will be 83.5 grams.

Charging Hub

The charging hub will be included in the extended "Fly More Combo" kit or purchased separately. It provides simultaneous or sequential charging of up to two batteries. Charging time in tandem with the company's 65-watt power adapter will be 45 minutes.

Bundles

Based on the images that insiders have kindly shared with the community today, we can say that there will be at least three bundles—two standard ones with different controllers (DJI RC-N3 or DJI RC 2), and one extended one, including everything from the drone to a capacious carrying case.
