DJI Flip physical comparison vs Mini & Neo

So, we have the new alongside the Mini 3 Pro and the Neo. Which is where Flip fits between when it comes to the lineup from DJI.

General comparison

Let’s look at the Neo, it can’t fold. Comparing the sizes, the width is pretty much the same, about double the thickness compared to Neo, and then the height of Flip folded, Neo standing up is essentially the same length as Flip’s propellers when folded.

And then comparing it to the 迷你 3 Pro, similar to the 迷你 4 Pro in terms of size. So, it’s essentially a slimmed down version of the Mini’s body, without the additional size for the propeller mounting points. Of course, Flip does have the propellers underneath it, making it almost double in size when folded. And then the length of the Mini 3 Pro is just shorter than the height of Flip folded.

Unfolded

Let’s see how they compare unfolded. Flip is of course going to automatically turn on when either of the back propellers are flipped out, quite a nice feature. Unfolding the 迷你 3 Pro

So, here are both drones. Essentially, the mini’s front arms are longer, so the motors sit further away from the drone. The rear of both drones are pretty similar. I would say the Mini is more of a standard X layout. In terms of the prop layout, you can kind of see how they compare when lined up together, and then side by side.

Weighing the two drones, the 迷你 3 Pro comes in at around 247 grams and Flip comes in at around 248 grams. So both come in under the 249 gram target weight.

Let’s actually turn 迷你 3 Pro on so we can take a look at the front. So, yeah, slightly different gimbals. Flip’s image sensor actually matches the 迷你 3, 3 Pro, and 迷你 4 Pro’s sensor size and the majority of camera specs.

Flip drops the indicator lights on the front arms in favour of a small status indicator on the front of the drone. And then of course this is the battery status lights, which stay on throughout the flight, which have moved to the back right of the drone instead of being on the rear top of the drone.

So, it almost illuminates the back right propeller a little. And then in terms of the bottom sensors, Flip just has the single camera between the two IR sensors. Then the Mini 3 Pro has backwards facing, almost upwards facing obstacle avoidance sensors, which doesn’t exist on the Flip. And, instead of the stereoscopic cameras on the front, Flip has the time of flight sensor, which appears to be similar to the recently launched .

Batteries

Let’s turn these off, and take a look at the batteries. With DJI’s recently released Neo, the company has started moving towards making the battery a part of the drone’s structure. With Neo, the battery makes up the bottom of the drone, with it taking the force of landings, which I assume, helps save weight. It also removes the need to manufacture the additional plastic for the bottom of the drone, potentially cutting down on manufacturing cost as well.

And then the same with Flip, which rather than having the battery on the bottom like Neo, the battery is on top of the drone. So it just swaps like that. And essentially makes up the top of the drone. We also have the class one consumer laser product marking, which means the time of flight sensor uses a laser, meaning it is likely the same tech used in the front-facing on the Air 3S.

In terms of capacity between the two batteries, the physical size is, I would say, Flip is slightly taller but not as long, and a tiny bit wider. Flip’s battery comes in at 3,110 mAh and the Mini 3 Pro’s battery is 2,453 mAh. Interestingly, Flip’s advertised flight time is 31 minutes while 迷你 3 Pro’s is 34 minutes.

And yeah, it looks like every time you plug the battery in, and Flip is flipped out it automatically turns on. Let’s just put this battery back in and focus on the main difference, the propeller guard of the Flip.

Propeller guards & arms

Of course the arms don’t really exist on the Flip as the propeller guards are essentially the arms of the drone. You have the hinge here, unfolding that. It connects to the diameter of the propeller guards. And this small piece of plastic is a channel to protect the motor wires with the motor being attached to the propeller guards by the carbon rods enclosing the propellers.

Something interesting is that the guards actually lock into each other. The outer arms have a small lip around the motor shaft, which lines up with the empty space behind the rear motor’s shaft. This helps keep the guards locked into each other.

Under the front legs, which double as the antenna, there’s a small slot that lines up with the carbon rod on the rear propeller guard, which also aids in keeping the propellers in place when folded and on the move. Flip isn’t actually able to sit like the Mini, instead it can be sat on its rear or on either side.

So yeah, ignoring Neo, the main physical differences between Flip and Mini is essentially the propeller guard, the unfolding or flipping out mechanism, the obstacle avoidance sensors. As for the cameras they are practically identical minus one or two features missing on DJI Flip.
