Four short months after introducing the truly palm-size Neo, DJI is back with another pint-sized consumer drone. The Flip continues the drone giant’s

I tested the new DJI Flip drone and you can read what I think about it's design, functionality, performance and more.

DJI today released a new family of palm-sized drones for vlogging, called Flip, with a dedicated privacy mode and other features, starting at $439. Thanks to a feature called Local Data Mode, you can operate your Flip while disconnected from the internet so that all data stays on-device.

The DJI Flip takes a novel approach to the foldable design, resulting in a compact drone ideal for traveling creatives.

Despite its small size, the DJI Flip is by all means a full-featured drone that can fly for up 30 minutes on a single charge. It also comes with a Flip Parallel Charging Hub that lets you use two batteries at once, meaning you can quickly swap in the spare battery for extended sessions.

The DJI Flip marks yet another entirely new airframe design from DJI. Sure, there have been size & weight changes, camera improvements, and extra features but – until the recent DJI Neo – the consumer category hasn't seen much other than incremental changes since the folding revolution – and that came in 2016 with the Mavic Pro.

The drone maker is removing software restraints that prevented its products from flying over restricted areas, ceding control to drone pilots.

DJI has lifted its geofence that prevents users from flying over restricted areas like nuclear power plants, airports and wildfires.

DJI will no longer stop drones from flying over airports, wildfires, and the White House, passing the buck to US law enforcement to prevent some of the worst forms of drone misuse. Some are suggesting the curious timing of that decision is political,

DJI issues an update for all drones in the USA which removes their geofences, unlocking all drones to fly over restricted zones, including prisons, airports, and the White House?

DJI, which accounts for an estimated 90% of hobby drone sales in the U.S., announced this week that it will stop geoblocking its drones from flying over airports and military bases. The changes took effect on Monday on both the DJI Fly and DJI Pilot flight apps.
