DJI's ultra-compact sub-249g drone with 4K camera — designed for easy, registration-free flying.
The DJI Flip was released in early 2025 as a compact sub-249g foldable drone, featuring a 1/1.3-inch 48MP CMOS camera with 4K/100fps video. DJI O4 transmission to 13km. Approximately 31-minute maximum flight time. Under 249g — below the registration threshold in most jurisdictions. Obstacle sensing: forward 3D infrared (8m range) + downward visual/infrared sensors.
1/1.3-inch CMOS, 48MP. 4K at 30/60/100fps; 1080p up to 240fps. Dual Native ISO for low-light. DJI O4 transmission (13km). Maximum flight time approximately 31 minutes. Takeoff weight under 249g. Forward 3D infrared obstacle sensing (8m range) + downward visual and infrared sensors. Fixed camera; no interchangeable mount.
The under-249g threshold is the DJI Flip's primary positioning: below this weight, the drone avoids registration requirements in many jurisdictions including the EU and UK. The 1/1.3-inch sensor provides improved image quality over smaller 1/2-inch sensors in competing sub-249g drones. The forward 3D infrared sensing (8m range) provides frontal obstacle detection — a meaningful safety feature in cluttered environments. Downward sensing handles landing and altitude hold. No rear or side obstacle sensing.
On the used market the DJI Flip is a recent sub-249g drone. Condition checks: camera gimbal function, battery health, propeller condition, transmission function. Obstacle sensing: forward 3D infrared (8m range) + downward visual/infrared sensors. Fixed camera; no interchangeable mount.
