Flip is Here!

[ryguy80]

To be honest, this is too beginnerish for us; maybe the Flip2 with fpv capabilities is the one to wait for. I see too many things in Flip1 that look "old" and somewhat dated as if a better version is already in the works. Don't get me wrong, the drone is nice but it just looks a bit too plain. Size and 2GB and no PFV and sensors for example. We'll have our answer if a Mini 5 launches in a few months.

I have to admit the Flip looks like something that was released 20 years ago. Boxy look with not much for curves on the body.

I think it's a fun design, and it has great features. I just don't know why someone would buy one if they already have a solid camera drone (Mavic 2 or 3, or Air 3/3S, or Mini Pro 4). The Avata2 and Neo are ways for people with camera drones to try something new.

The body of it reminds me a lot of my old Spark with the front obstacle avoidance.

I think if you don't already have a NEO or a Mini 3 or 4 then it will be a pretty enticing drone especially if you are looking for a sub 250g drone. I know if I didn't already have a NEO and my Mini 3 Pro I would likely have hit the buy button.

It’s why the Neo and now the Flip exist - autonomous mode.

Those other drones are more on the pro side. This a new market for something simple and fun for the average user.

autonomous mode

Good point!

Anyone else decide to pull the trigger on a Flip?

If I didn’t already have a NEO or Mini 3 Pro then I definitely would.
