hi flip pilots just joined so i can comment on the new DJI flip

[oldmanmavic]

well it is with some sadness,that as a long time fan boy of the DJI brand ,that i find myself totally underwhelmed by the Flip
after looking at the specs and the user manual , why DJI have in there wisdom ,released this drone into their line up,is almost like they are clearing the parts bin from previous models
it does not really take up the mantle of the Mini series of sub 250g drones in its abilities,its more like a mark 2 version of the Neo and as someone who already owns both the Mini 4 pro and the Neo ,for me the Flip does not impress enough for me to feel the desire to own one
of course these are just my personal views ,but i felt that i had to air them on this forum

take care and happy flying to all OMM

Hello from the Crossroads of America in central Indiana oldmanmavic.

Your input is noted.

I'm not sure if I'm ready to purchase just yet. I'm happy with the MA2 & NEO so far.

Welcome to the FLIP Forum.

I think it’s more of a competitor to the Hover Air X1 Pro to prevent them from gaining a foothold in that segment of the market.

Well as someone who bought it have to disagree. Camera is great flies well can get about 3 miles out and back on a battery charge. Can use with no controller. Only downside is if it's really windy it's a little bouncy. Bit handles light wind fine. As a Mavic 2 owner I was happy with this purchase. U can fold it up and stick in sweater pocket and take on a trip. All in all for price and all the goodies I am pleased
