The DJI Flip is built around one idea, fully enclosed propeller guards, and this page is the specification reference for it: weight, the guard design, transmission, real price history, and the questions owners actually ask.
The guards are the design, not a compromise
The Flip’s defining feature is its fully enclosed, ducted propeller system. That is not a safety add-on bolted onto an existing airframe, it is the reason the Flip exists: pilots who want to fly indoors, near people, or in tight spaces get a real confidence margin an open-prop drone can’t offer, in exchange for a bulkier, more angular look than DJI’s Mini or Air lines.
Weight and registration
At exactly 249 grams, the Flip stays under the 250-gram US recreational registration threshold even with the guards included, which is a meaningful engineering constraint DJI had to hit given how much extra material a full propeller enclosure adds.
Flight time and range
Each Flip battery is rated for up to 31 minutes of flight, and DJI’s O4 transmission system holds a video link out to 8.3 miles (13 kilometers) under FCC rules, putting it in line with other current-generation DJI drones despite the added weight of the guards.
Price: track the floor
The Flip has reached $349 on Amazon, the real floor worth comparing any current listing against. For a direct buying comparison, see DJI Flip vs Mini 4 Pro and the DJI Flip hub for ongoing coverage.
Frequently asked questions
How much does the DJI Flip weigh?
Exactly 249 grams, keeping it under the 250-gram threshold that exempts recreational pilots in the United States from FAA registration and Remote ID, even with the added weight of its enclosed propeller guards.
What is the point of the Flip's enclosed propeller design?
Safety in close-proximity flying, not a styling choice. The fully enclosed, ducted propeller guards are the Flip's whole argument: they let pilots fly indoors and near people with real confidence that an open-prop drone can't match, at the cost of the more angular look the guards create.
What is a good price for the DJI Flip?
Track the observed floor rather than the list price. The Flip has reached $349 on Amazon, a real discount worth comparing any current listing against rather than trusting a marketing percentage-off claim.
What is the Flip's flight time and transmission range?
Each battery is rated for up to 31 minutes, and DJI's O4 transmission holds a video link out to 8.3 miles (13 kilometers) under FCC rules, in line with other current DJI drones in this class.
