Better model
According to our drone expert
With the DJI Flip + Remote Controller + Intelligent Flight Battery, you get even more flying fun. Thanks to the extra battery, you can keep flying right away when the first battery is drained. With both batteries, you can fly for maximum 31 minutes in ideal weather circumstances. You can make extensive recordings from the sky, for example. This drone includes a Remote Controller you can click your smartphone in. On the screen of your phone, you can watch the footage of your drone live. The DJI Flip is a foldable drone with propeller caps. Thanks to these caps, you can fly more safely and the drone gets damaged less quickly when you fly into something. The drone easily takes off from your hand and lands there again as well. With the AI tracking, the drone follows your movements and it automatically keeps you in the middle of the image.
Law and legislationFrom 2021, new European drone legislation applies. This means that drone pilots must register themselves if they own a drone that weighs more than 250g or has a camera. You'll receive an operator registration number you need to attach to your drone, which should be clearly visible. This drone weighs less than 250g, so you don't need to complete a drone course. You do have to register the drone and request an operator registration number.

I think the DJI Flip is a fun entry-level drone with a number of professional functions, such as ActiveTrack. This makes it suitable for both beginners and advanced drone pilots. However, I have to be careful that it does not get carried away by the wind due to its low weight of 249 grams.
Handy, safe design The DJI Flip's propellers have handy propeller protectors. I like this, because it makes flying the drone safer and it is less likely to get damaged if I fly into something. This also allows me to fly the drone indoors, which I find a great advantage. For example, I can record a tour of my new house from an original angle. When I take the drone on the road, I can easily fold the propellers. This way it fits better in my bag. I do notice that the Flip is larger when folded than a folded DJI Mini drone, which makes it less suitable for a backpacking trip, for example. I think a nice extra function of the Flip is that it automatically turns on when I open the propellers. When I fold them back, the drone automatically turns off.
Clear and sharp video images I find the video images I make with the Flip very clear and sharp. The drone has a large 1/1.3 inch image sensor that captures a lot of light. Even on a cloudy day, my videos look clear and have little noise. I think the recordings look professional and use them for a YouTube video, for example.
Functions I find it easy that the Flip takes off from my hand and lands there again. With the button on the drone I set the flight mode, for example Circle. If I then let it take off from my hand, I do not need a remote control. It flies around automatically and then comes back. I also notice that the drone gets dirty less quickly if I let it land on my hand. When I put myself in the picture, I use the ActiveTrack function. The drone follows my movements and always keeps me sharp in the picture. I think this works well and in this way I make nice images for social media. Outdoors, the obstacle detection ensures that the drone brakes for obstacles, such as trees. I notice that the obstacle detection does not work when flying the drone indoors, probably because there is not enough free space there.

This version you can easily charge during your hike without having to connect to your remote. That saves a lot of hassle. So really handy if you want to travel light, and are satisfied with a few short great shots.

Tested it and my first findings are really promising. Without the smart controller it is quick to use for taking group photos, or getting a quick view of the landscape or the environment you are in. It is much faster to use than a normal camera, and you get a larger view because the drone flies at a distance so that it not only takes beautiful pictures of people but also the background and environment. Besides this, the 4K images are beautiful if you want to film with it. Really recommended. Price/quality has surpassed these other drones in my eyes.
