What are DJI Flip's wind resistance and maximum takeoff altitude?
DJI Flip can handle winds up to 38 kph (Level 5) and has a maximum takeoff altitude of 3000 meters.
* Wind resistance may vary, especially in strong winds. The lightweight design may cause slight vibration, but its power ensures stable hovering and safe return. The drone’s gimbal adjusts to minimize any wind impact on footage.
Is DJI Flip waterproof?
No, DJI Flip is not waterproof. Avoid water contact during use. If it rains, land and dry the drone before flying again.
What app is needed for DJI Flip?
DJI Flip is designed to work with the DJI Fly app. You can download the latest version of the DJI Fly app from the official DJI website.
How well does DJI Flip's camera perform?
DJI Flip features a 1/1.3-inch sensor with dual native ISO. It can record 4K/60fps HDR video and offers an optional 10-bit D-Log M color profile. Additionally, it supports 100fps slow-motion video in 4K resolution, delivering detailed and smooth action shots.
Does DJI Flip offer manual control for photos and videos?
Yes, you can manually adjust camera settings such as shutter speed, ISO, and white balance via the DJI Fly app.
How do I enable HDR on DJI Flip?
HDR mode is automatically enabled when recording video at 60fps or lower.
How does the dual native ISO work on DJI Flip?
In both photo and video modes (60fps and below), the sensor combines two sets of analog gain signals to enhance dynamic range and improve image quality.
How do I transfer files from DJI Flip to a smartphone or computer?
QuickTransfer:
You can connect DJI Flip to a mobile phone via Wi-Fi and transfer footage using the DJI Fly app, with a maximum download speed of 30 MB/s*. For the best experience, keep the drone and phone within 2 meters and unobstructed.
To a computer:
Without powering on the drone, connect it directly to the computer using a data cable to browse and transfer files.
* Download speed varies depending on the environment and interference.
How easy is DJI Flip's palm control?
Palm control is straightforward and intuitive, allowing even beginners to start using it quickly.
DJI Flip can take off and land from your palm, track subjects using visual algorithms*, and perform intelligent filming—all without a remote controller.
* Currently, palm control can only track human subjects.
How does DirectionTrack work on DJI Flip?
To use DirectionTrack, connect the drone to the DJI Fly app via Wi-Fi, select DirectionTrack mode, and complete the in-app tutorial. The drone will initially move backward to a preset distance (ensure the area behind is clear). The drone will then either track you from the front or follow you from behind, depending on your movements.
* DirectionTrack does not support automatic braking.
Can DJI Flip's intelligent tracking follow me accurately?
Once DJI Flip locks onto you using visual algorithms, it tracks your movement, adjusting speed to maintain smooth follow shots.
* Intelligent tracking does not support automatic braking.
** Maximum tracking speed is 12 m/s.
Does DJI Flip support manual mode control?
No, DJI Flip does not support manual control.
Does DJI Flip have obstacle avoidance?
Automatic braking is supported in Normal and Cine modes, as well as during return-to-home. Intelligent tracking functions do not have obstacle avoidance.
When using palm takeoff, DJI Fly app, or remote controller, the drone decelerates and automatically brakes if an obstacle is detected within 1 meter ahead. At higher speeds, the braking distance may be insufficient, and the drone could collide. Always fly with caution in open areas.
Does DJI Flip power on when unfolding the arms, and off when folding them?
Yes, DJI Flip powers on automatically when any rear arm is unfolded. It will also power on after a battery replacement. If the drone is not in the process of upgrading, playing, or downloading, folding both rear arms triggers a shutdown countdown.
* The auto power-off feature is disabled after a collision during the current flight. You can turn it off in the settings of the DJI Fly app if desired.
Which languages are available for voice control in DJI Flip?
DJI Flip supports English and Mandarin for voice commands, depending on your DJI Fly app language settings.
What are the charging options for DJI Flip, and how long does it take to charge?
There are two main charging options:
What can the DJI Flip Parallel Charging Hub do?
The hub can charge two batteries simultaneously or store up to four batteries. It also serves as a power bank for mobile devices when connected to the hub's USB-C port.
What chargers are compatible with DJI Flip?
The DJI 65W Portable Charger is ideal for charging both the Parallel Charging Hub and the aircraft body. For optimal performance, use a 65W charger when available.
Can I charge DJI Flip via the USB-C port?
Yes. When connected to a 30W USB-C charger, DJI Flip charges at a rate that supports optimal power.
How do I replace the propellers on DJI Flip?
Check propellers for damage before each flight. To replace, use the screwdriver provided to carefully swap damaged or worn propellers with the included replacement set. Ensure that each propeller is installed correctly according to its markings.
Why does Wi-Fi transmission experience lag or disconnections in certain areas?
Wi-Fi performance can be impacted by wireless interference, especially in crowded areas. Strong interference leads to more noticeable lag and disconnection. Choose outdoor areas with fewer obstructions for the best Wi-Fi transmission.
Why does transmission lag when I turn around with DJI Flip?
When your body is between the drone and controller, Wi-Fi signals may weaken. Always maintain clear line-of-sight between the drone and your controller for the best connection.
Does the max transmission distance of the O4 video system change based on interference levels?
Yes, the transmission distance may vary depending on environmental conditions and interference levels. In open areas with minimal interference, it can reach up to 13 km, but in urban environments, it will be significantly shorter.
