DJI has been busy this year, launching a variety of gadgets, including multiple drones. Recently, they unveiled the Mic Mini (curr. $169 on Amazon), a smaller option compared to the Mic 2 that was introduced earlier this year. Additionally, there are rumors about other devices in the works, such as a robot vacuum and a new camera gimbal.
New Drone in the Works
Now, there's a new compact drone to add to their lineup. Although DJI hasn't made any official announcements yet, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the US has released initial documents that provide information about the DJI Flip. Interestingly, the regulatory agency also included a sketch of the drone, showing various specifications in the process.
Features and Battery Life
For example, the DJI Flip includes propeller guards, which typically suggest that a drone might have a first-person view (FPV) mode similar to the new DJI Neo. However, Jasper Ellens has mentioned that the Flip has been spotted in public with a regular controller. This leads him to believe that the DJI Flip might not support FPV features. On the other hand, it is expected to have a significantly larger battery than the DJI Neo, which has a capacity of 1,435 mAh (10.5 Wh). In contrast, the FCC has disclosed that the DJI Flip will come equipped with a 3,110 mAh (22.3 Wh) battery. Sadly, other specifics and a release date are still a mystery at this point.
