It captures detailed 48MP stills in all lighting conditions, and records gorgeous 4K/60fps footage.
However, it has a lower flight time than cheaper models, even from DJI itself.
It proves susceptible to gusts of wind, and features forward-facing obstacle avoidance only.

For the complete breakdown, read my full DJI Flip review.
The Flip offers features similar to the Mini 4 Pro, making it an excellent choice for budget-conscious pilots.
I think it looks fantastic.
Its made of high-quality plastic in light grey, and it doesnt look or feel cheap.
The propellers fold underneath the Flip and click into place, ensuring they stay secure.
It isnt very heavy either, weighing just over 8 ounces (249g).
The drones body hosts a couple of physical buttons.
Theres also a small screen above the camera which shows you the active QuickShot mode.
I tested the Fly More combo with the RC-2 controller.
which has a 5.5-inch 1080P 700-nit bright touchscreen.
The detachable joysticks are comfortable to use for long hours while being extremely comfortable.
With four antennas, the RC-2 transmits clear, low-latency footage within a 12.42-mile range.
Similar to the DJI Neo, the Flip also features palm takeoff and landing.
Simply place your palm underneath the drone and it will land in your hand.
The Mini 4 Pro features omnidirectional obstacle avoidance while the Mini 3 doesnt feature any at all.
The Flip offers a plethora of shooting modes too.
), Hyperlapse, panoramas, and vertical shooting.
All of these work very well.
You dont even need a controller to toggle one of the QuickShot modes.
you might see a couple of examples of the 48MP stills in the gallery above.
Color reproduction is very faithful, as it’s possible for you to see above.
The frost on the ground looks great too.
If youre shooting 12MP photos, you get access to a 3x digital zoom.
Whats more, it can shoot spheres too.
If you want to capture footage in low light, the Flip’s f/1.7 lens does a decent job.
The headlights reflecting on the road in the first photo have been captured well.
However, the second photo is dark and underexposed.
you might shoot 4K video at 60fps or FHD at 100fps.
The footage above demonstrates the 3x zoom.
you might also shoot in D-Log M with the Flip.
This means that the drone captures a wider dynamic range to give you more freedom in post-production.
It looks fantastic and is built very well, and its compact size makes it comfortable to travel with.
This isnt to say the Flip is perfect, though.
Also, its light frame makes it susceptible to strong winds.
