DJI Flip: A Dream Camera Drone For Content Creators

The all-new DJI Flip is here, sporting a camera with a 1/1.3-inch sensor capable of recording up to 4K at 60 frames per second or 4K at 100 frames per second in slow motion. It supports a 10-bit 4:2:0 D-Log M color profile and can take stunning 48-megapixel photos. The drone features an infrared-sensing obstacle avoidance system and comes programmed with a variety of smart features, making it incredibly easy to capture great shots. You can fly it with a remote, just your phone, or even without a remote or phone at all. What makes this drone particularly interesting is that it weighs under 249 grams and allows you to use your phone to record audio. In essence, this drone can serve as your personal AI-powered camera assistant—perfect for vlogging.

Full Disclosure: DJI sent me this drone to test and . However, they are not paying me or sponsoring this video in any way, and all opinions shared here are my own.

A Step Up from the DJI Neo

This isn’t the first drone to feature many of these capabilities. The , released earlier in 2024, also had a lot of these features. However, I wasn’t excited about the Neo because I felt its image quality wasn’t on par with most of DJI’s other drones.

What excites me about the Flip is that DJI managed to integrate the same sensor found in the Mini 4 series, the Air 3’s telephoto camera, and all the Air 3 cameras into this lightweight drone—while keeping it under 249 grams. This means you get exceptional 4K quality at up to 60 frames per second in a 10-bit 4:2:0 D-Log M color profile, offering plenty of dynamic range and flexibility for color grading and editing in post-production.

Exceptional Image Quality

Everything you’re seeing in this video was filmed in 10-bit D-Log M and color-graded in post. I’ve been thoroughly impressed by the image quality this drone produces. You can achieve beautiful footage, and the Flip also supports 4K at 100 frames per second for slow-motion shots.

One downside is that slow-motion footage is automatically output at 25 frames per second. While this is great for users in , those in the U.S. will need to adjust the speed by 118% to match 30 frames per second or slightly slow it down to match 24 frames per second.

Vertical Video and Social Media

If you’re filming vertical video, the Flip supports 2.7K resolution at up to 60 frames per second. While it’s not quite like the Mini series, this resolution is more than sufficient for most social media platforms. Stay tuned for my upcoming comparison video between the Flip and the Mini series.

Low-Light Performance

Les Flip isn’t a low-light powerhouse due to its small sensor, but I was pleasantly surprised by its performance. DJI claims the Flip uses a dual ISO sensor, optimized for ISO 100 and 400, which minimizes noise. I tested the ISO range extensively, running it at -2 sharpness and -2 noise reduction for the best possible image quality. This allows you to sharpen and denoise in post-production.

Here’s how the Flip performs at various ISOs:

  • D-Log M: ISO 100, 200, 400, 800, and 1600
  • Normal Color Profile: ISO 1600, 3200, and 6400

While the lacks a dedicated low-light or night mode like the , it still delivers decent results with some post-processing. I recommend limiting the ISO depending on how much denoising you’re willing to do in post.

Photography Capabilities

The Flip features a quad Bayer sensor, allowing you to capture 12- or 48-megapixel still photos. While I’ve been critical of DJI’s 48-megapixel stills in the past, their image processing has improved significantly.

  • 12-Megapixel Photos: Offer more dynamic range and are easier to work with. You can shoot in JPEG, RAW, or both for maximum flexibility in post-production.
  • 48-Megapixel Photos: Provide more detail but sacrifice some dynamic range compared to the 12-megapixel option.

If you’re using the remote, you also gain access to panoramic, ultra-wide, and sphere photo modes.

Smart Features and Flight Modes

Les DJI Flip is packed with smart features. You can use it with just the drone, your phone, or the DJI RC-N3 or RC2 remote controllers. Here are some of the standout features:

  • Follow and Direction Track: Tracks you from the front or behind but not from the side (due to the lack of side sensors).
  • Circle Mode: Automatically circles around a subject. Be cautious, as there’s no side obstacle avoidance.
  • Boomerang and Helix Modes: Create dynamic shots by circling and ascending around a subject.
  • Spotlight Mode: Keeps the camera focused on you as you move through a scene.
  • Voice Commands: Control the drone with simple voice commands like “Circle” or “Droney.”

Audio Recording

One of the coolest features is the ability to record audio using your phone or the Microphone DJI 2 system. This allows you to capture high-quality audio directly synced with your video files. If you don’t download the files to your phone, the audio and video will be separate, requiring manual syncing in post.

The Flip also features built-in noise reduction, making it possible to capture clean audio even when the drone is close to you.

Wind Resistance and Durability

Despite its small size and lightweight design, the Flip handles wind surprisingly well. During my tests in 10-14 mph winds and freezing temperatures, it performed admirably, comparable to the Mini 3 et Mini 4.

Autonomie de la batterie

DJI claims a flight time of 31 minutes, but in real-world conditions, I’ve been getting 12-18 minutes depending on the wind and temperature. In cold weather, I highly recommend using the Fly More Combo, which includes three batteries and a charging hub. The batteries recharge quickly via USB-C, making it easy to keep flying.

Pricing and Value

Les DJI Flip is priced at under $450 for the drone with one battery. The Fly More Combo, which includes three batteries, a carrying bag, and the RC2 remote, costs $779. Considering the features and capabilities, I think this is an excellent value.

Réflexions finales

At first, I thought the DJI Flip was a bit of a gimmick. However, after using it extensively, I’m genuinely impressed. It’s a durable, versatile, and feature-packed drone that doubles as a personal AI-powered vlogging camera. Whether you’re hiking in the mountains or capturing cinematic shots, the Flip delivers exceptional results.
