Hold on to your propellers—DJI might be cooking up something fresh. Leaks and FCC filings point to a new addition to DJI’s lineup, the intriguingly named DJI Flip. But as exciting as this sounds, it raises a big question: where does the Flip fit in DJI’s already packed portfolio?

A Sneak Peek at DJI Flip
So, what’s the deal with this new drone? According to FCC filings and chatter from insiders, the DJI Flip is a compact, ducted drone equipped with a hefty 3,110 mAh battery. That’s nearly double the capacity of the DJI Neo, suggesting longer flight times—likely around 30 minutes.
Its design includes propeller guards, a feature that usually screams “FPV drone!” Yet, reliable sources like drone expert Jasper Ellens say otherwise. He claims the Flip has been spotted with a regular controller, not the kind typically used for immersive FPV flying.
Wait, another DJI Drone?
DJI has been on a roll lately, dropping hits like the Mini 4 Pro and the Neo. But with such a robust lineup, it’s hard to figure out where the Flip fits in. Is it a beginner-friendly option? A new compact travel drone? Or just another toy for tech enthusiasts?Jasper Ellens isn’t convinced. “The DJI Flip looks like a Frankensteined Mini 2,” he commented.
“It’s a micro-drone with 4K capability and a 30-minute flight time. But I don’t see where it belongs in the lineup.”
He’s not alone in scratching his head. While the Mini series is perfect for casual users and the Neo taps into the lightweight FPV market, the Flip seems like it’s trying to carve out a space that may not exist yet.
What Makes the Flip Stand Out?
Here’s the kicker: it might not. Sure, the ducted propeller design could appeal to beginners or indoor flyers who value safety, but without FPV functionality or groundbreaking features, it risks being overshadowed by DJI’s other drones.
Ian-Mad’s Tech shared their take on social media: “New DJI Flip Drone Inbound—foldable duct drone with DJI O4.” It sounds cool, but will “cool” be enough to make it a must-have?
What’s Next for the Flip?
Let’s face it—DJI has mastered the art of keeping us guessing. Will the Flip bring something totally new to the table, or is it just another drone in an already crowded sky? For now, all we have are leaks, sketches, and a whole lot of speculation.
One thing’s for sure: if DJI does launch the Flip, it’ll either soar as a game changer or struggle to make an impact. Either way, drone enthusiasts everywhere are watching closely, waiting to see if this little guy can truly flip the script.
