DJI Flip
A beginner-tier, 249g folding drone with a 1/1.3-inch 48MP sensor, f/1.7 24mm-equivalent lens on a 3-axis gimbal, 4K/100fps and 31 minutes of flight, the Flip emphasizes palm takeoff and easy vlogging. It's a friendly sub-250g pick for beginners and travel. More demanding pilots wanting a larger sensor or longer endurance will find stronger options higher in DJI's range.
