The guarded propellers on the DJI Flip appear to instead fold downwards in the leaked animation, resulting in all four of them being neatly stacked to help make the drone smaller and easier to transport when not being flown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/www.batteryone.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/DJI-FLIP.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.batteryone.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/DJI-FLIP.png 640w, https:\/\/www.batteryone.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/DJI-FLIP-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The addition of propeller guards will not only make the DJI Flip safer for novices to fly, but its larger propellers and their ducted design could also make the new drone quieter, according to DroneXL. Other features spotted in the leaked image and animation include a camera on a three-axis gimbal, landing leg supports under the front propellers, support for DJI\u2019s O4 video transmission system, and an \u201cadvanced LiDAR array matching the DJI Air 3S\u2019s sensor capabilities,\u201d says DroneXL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Flip will ship with a 3,110mAh battery \u2014 larger than the DJI Neo\u2019s 1,435mAh that allows the smaller drone to fly for up to 18 minutes. That\u2019s also larger than the 2,590mAh that ships with the DJI Mini 4 Pro and the DJI Mini 3\u2019s 2,453mAh battery, which gave both of those drones flight times of 34 to 38 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, this makes the DJI Flip a curious little drone, and it isn&#8217;t clear yet where it might sit between the new DJI Neo and existing DJI Mini series. As always with DJI, expect new leaks to reveal more soon&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s still unknown are pricing details or when the DJI Flip will launch, although DroneXL suspects it could be announced as early as January 2025. Jasper Ellens also believes the Flip will be DJI\u2019s replacement for the Mini 5 or Mini 5 Pro that was expected to debut sometime in late 2024 or early 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A leak has just revealed that a tiny new DJI Flip is coming \u2013 and it could potentially be a DJI Mini series successor.The new DJI Flip, which has propeller guards similar to the DJI Neo, will have a folding design that resembles the HoverAir X1, according to a video shared by reliable leaker Jasper [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[10],"class_list":["post-348","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-dji"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.batteryone.co\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/348","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.batteryone.co\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.batteryone.co\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.batteryone.co\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.batteryone.co\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=348"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.batteryone.co\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/348\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":350,"href":"https:\/\/www.batteryone.co\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/348\/revisions\/350"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.batteryone.co\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=348"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.batteryone.co\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=348"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.batteryone.co\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=348"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
