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

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.

The new DJI Flip vlogging drone is like a pricier, supercharged DJI Neo, offering improved flight performance and 4K image quality.

There’s one missing part. The DJI Flip can’t be used as an FPV (first person view) drone, with one of DJI’s nifty first-person view headsets, and it doesn’t support DJI’s motion controller either.

DJI today released a new family of palm-sized drones for vlogging, called Flip, with a dedicated privacy mode and other features, starting at $439. Thanks to a feature called Local Data Mode, you can operate your Flip while disconnected from the internet so that all data stays on-device.

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.

DJI has announced the DJI Flip, a series of all-in-one vlog camera drones that can capture 48MP photos and 4K video. The post Flippin’ awesome: DJI Flip announces all-in-one vlog camera drone appeared first on Amateur Photographer.
