^{Wind resistance is dependent upon propulsion. In strong winds, due to the lightweight nature of the drone, slight vibration is expected. However, the aircraft’s power margin ensures the drone hovers stably or returns to home safely. DJI Flip automatically controls the gimbal to adjust slightly to ensure that the footage is always stable and not affected by the wind.}

No. Avoid contact with water during use, as it may damage the device.
If it rains during the flight, return and land as soon as possible, and wait until the aircraft is fully dry inside and out before using it again.

DJI Flip can only be used with the DJI Fly app. You can download the latest version of DJI Fly from the DJI Flip Downloads page on the official DJI website.

^{If you use DJI RC 2 as the remote controller, it comes with the pre-installed DJI Fly app.}

DJI Flip features a 1/1.3-inch sensor with dual native ISO, capable of recording 4K/60fps HDR video and offering an optional 10-bit D-Log M color profile. It also supports recording 100fps slow-motion video in 4K resolution, delivering smooth and detailed slow-motion effects to capture the highlights of action scenes.

Yes. You can manually set camera parameters like shutter speed, ISO, and white balance in the DJI Fly app.

When recording video at 60fps or lower, DJI Flip enables HDR mode by default.

In photo mode and video mode (60fps and below), the image sensor combines two sets of analog gain signals through algorithmic fusion, resulting in improved dynamic range for the final image.

QuickTransfer:
DJI Flip supports connecting to a mobile phone via Wi-Fi and browsing/transferring footage through the DJI Fly app, with a maximum download speed of up to 30 MB/s.*
Keep the drone and phone within 2 meters with no obstructions for the best transfer experience.

Transferring files to a computer:
Without the need to power on DJI Flip, connect the drone to the computer using a data cable to browse and transfer footage.

^{* Measured in a laboratory environment with little interference in countries/regions that support both 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz. Download speeds may vary depending on the actual conditions.}

Palm control is extremely simple to use. Even those with no drone experience can get started quickly.
DJI Flip can take off from your palm and perform intelligent filming by locking onto the subject using visual algorithms,* all without the need for a remote controller or any auxiliary device.

^{* Currently, only human subject tracking is supported; tracking other subjects is not available.}

To use the DirectionTrack feature, first connect the drone to the DJI Fly app via Wi-Fi. Then, select the DirectionTrack mode and complete the in-app tutorial to unlock it. Once activated, the drone will initially move backward to a preset distance, so ensure the area behind is clear of obstacles. If you move towards the drone, it will capture footage while retreating. If you move away from the drone, it will follow you from behind. If you make a sudden turn greater than 90° during front tracking, the drone will automatically switch to follow mode, capturing from behind. You can move towards the drone again to return to front tracking mode.

^{* The DirectionTrack feature does not support automatic braking.}

Once DJI Flip locks onto you using visual algorithms, it will follow your movement trajectory* and maintain a consistent speed** with you, achieving intelligent follow shots.

^{* Intelligent tracking does not support automatic braking.
** The maximum tracking speed is 12 m/s.}

No.

Automatic braking is supported only when flying in the Normal mode and Cine mode and during return-to-home. Intelligent functions (including Subject Tracking) do not support obstacle avoidance.

^{If you use palm takeoff, the DJI Fly app, or a remote controller, the aircraft will only decelerate and automatically brake when it detects an obstacle within 1 meter ahead. The aircraft can perform an emergency brake if the following speed is less than 3m/s. However, if the follow speed is 3 m/s or faster, the braking distance may be insufficient, and the aircraft could collide with the obstacle. Please carefully observe your surroundings and use smart features in open areas.}

DJI Flip supports automatic power-on when the arms are unfolded. The drone will power on automatically when any rear arm is extended. When unfolded, the drone will also power on automatically after a battery replacement, allowing for quick relaunch. If the drone is not performing an upgrade, playback, or download,* folding both rear arms will trigger an automatic shutdown countdown. During the countdown, pressing any button on the drone will cancel the shutdown.
These features can be disabled in the app's settings page when the drone is connected to the remote controller.** Once disabled, the drone will no longer power on automatically when the arms are unfolded or power off automatically when the arms are folded.

^{* If the drone has experienced a collision during the current flight, the fold-to-shutdown feature will not be activated for that flight.
** Please update to the latest drone firmware and DJI Fly app to access these settings.}

After connecting DJI Flip with the DJI Fly app, you can check live feeds of the drone, adjust shooting parameters, and quickly transfer footage to your mobile phone.
You can also use the phone's built-in microphone for audio recording or control the drone via voice commands.
Once the footage captured by DJI Flip is imported into the DJI Fly app, you can add Glamour Effects or quickly edit the footage for instant video creation.

Remove the two blades and screws from the same motor, and replace with the new propellers from the same package and new screws. Attach the propellers with marks to the motors with marks, and the unmarked propellers to unmarked motors. Ensure that the propellers and motors are installed securely before each flight.

Wi-Fi signals are easily affected by other wireless signals. In urban areas, interference is stronger, leading to more frequent lag and disconnection. In suburban areas, parks, and other environments with less interference, Wi-Fi transmission is more stable and provides a better experience.

The human body can significantly interfere with Wi-Fi signals. To ensure a stable Wi-Fi transmission, keep your phone facing the drone and avoid any obstructions between your phone and the drone.

In different environments, the wireless interference level is different, and the max transmission distance will vary.

Unobstructed:
Strong Interference: Urban landscape, approx. 1-1.5 km
Medium Interference: Suburban landscape, approx. 2.5-7 km
Low Interference: Suburb/seaside, approx. 7-13 km

Obstructed:
Low Interference and Obstructed by Buildings: Approx. 0-0.5 km
Low Interference and Obstructed by Trees: Approx. 0.5-2 km
