DJI Flip Unboxing & First Flight - A Fresh Take On the Mini Drone

[@BlueDroneBlues]

Hopefully the future Mini 5 Pro will be a big win. I could care less for both the Neo and the DJI Flop. The duel blade props make stability rough. I like the prop guards. Just need them up higher with RID and the Mini Series quality and we’d have a winner. Thank you for the video Billy. 😊

I am just going to wait for the Mavic 4 Pro

[@ProjectArjun]

Interesting design, at this price point, the Mini 4 Pro is a win

Before they start introducing a new drone I wish they would somehow address the U.S. retailer supply issues of their current drones. I realize the U.S. government and customs are the ones making it difficult, but I am sure there is some agreement that can be reached to resolve this. Otherwise individual orders directly from DJI are hit or miss in actually reaching the customers in the U.S.

Thanks Billy . 👍

The propeller guards look like bicycle rims without the tubes/tires on. Lol. It's a nice drone, it's different.

[@observinghumanity3034]

To expound on my previous comment. There is also the issue of the care refresh service for U.S. customers, as there have been many reports of drones being returned to customers after repairs or replacement by DJI that are being stopped by customs and not allowed return. So that is another issue. I love DJI products, and there are truly no viable consumer product options available so I hope the U.S. and DJI can resolve this as soon as possible.

Everyone needs to take a shot every time Billy says "Propeller Guards" - I'm not sure if Billy means the black wire "guards" which don't introduce much noise, but rather the ported propulsion design of the aircraft.

Awesome concept looking forward to seeing how DJI goes forward with it .Gonna hold out for the Mini 5 though ,I live here in Windber ,Pa always seems to be windy right around any corner as the mountains are always in your face ,the Mini 4 handles amazingly well

[@LaserFlightStudios]

First reviewer to comment on the sound of the drone, most are brushing it aside like they are scared of DJI

[@BlairAir]

51 Drones commented, Captain Drone had a fair amount to say, Dustin Dunhill did an indoor sound test, Air Photography did sound comparisons.

I am just starting out with drones, and waited for this release. Based on my non-existent experience flying a drone, I decided to go with the Neo for now and then move to an Avata or Mini 4 series. PS - love the Manayunk, Schuylkill River views... born and raised in Philly / So Jersey.

[@BlairAir]

Billy is looking up for divine intervention 😂. Fo all those predicting the failure of the flip, I wouldn't bet the farm on that outcome. DJI has record orders and is selling out stock worldwide.

[@SkyStepDrones68]

Great video, Billy, But I'll probably pass on this one! 8 is enough for now, lol. I need to downsize my fleet!

[@BlueDroneBlues]

8 is enough? 😂

[@BlairAir]

Good luck with that. Several years ago I set a 5 drone limit. That lasted though exactly ONE release. Currently at 11. My one concession was not getting another RC-2. Going to multipurpose one of the 3 I have. They sold out Fky Mores, had to order separates, and battery stock is once again in short supply.

[@ScottPC]

The price is decent but the noise and wind resistance is a killer!! Also where is the drone only option!

[@TheDroneRanger215]

249 grams without remote ID, does this disqualifies it from flying over people without a waiver?

[@BlueDroneBlues]

Sure does.

[@superpowerforhire]

Worst design ever by DJI.

[@JohnnyMcMillan]

Mini 4 Pro is clearly the better option

[@TommyMartin]

I had high hopes that this would be a category 1 drone. I think they missed the mark with no remote ID ... at least for part 107 folks.

[@thegman7523]

so you didn't lose GPS in the parking garage?

[@rogerhalt3991]

IMO the whole point of the Mini line is to be compact and light. I can fit the M4P in my jacket pocket and be inconspicuous. Whilst this product is a blend of regular and fpv, it’s a weird idea

[@SSpecialDelivery]

Hold up. My guy flying in manayunk

[@MrSeamusFinn]

Come on Billy, insanely cold? Hahaha Thanks for the review though. It will help with my sales pitch, as usual

[@TheGrahamReaper21]

Big pass!

[@steelcityexotics]

How fast is it? I hate slow drones like the Avata 2

[@lpcox]

nice vid as always. I sold all my drones but I miss droning so I’m thinking to get one again. I really like this new DJIs, also this one. but I checked the price and it’s more than double compared to the Neo. so for an entry level drone (if it is one) it’s just too much for me - as a casual/hobby droner.

[@salocinscience11]

DJI flip ❌ Dji flop✅

[@Dronesteve-72]

This drones made purely to take videos and pictures only No FPV etc

[@brianfentress4739]

if only I could fly it with goggles 3....
