Key Features of DJI Flip

Ultra Safe and Reliable Flights

DJI Flip makes drone flying safe and reliable, thanks to its foldable, full-coverage guard that wraps the propellers to avoid injury or damage to the drone. It’s made of lightweight and strong carbon fibre string, the guard’s support structure is only 1/60 the weight of guards made with traditional polycarbonate material while maintaining the same stiffness and durability to ensure safe flights.

Short Hands on Experience with the DJI Flip

I had a preview and short hands on experience with the DJI Air 3S in Singapore when it was announced in January 2025. Although I do not have many extensive drone flying experiences, I always wanted to add drone photography, drone videography / cinematography to my photography and content creation services.

Flying the DJI Flip wasn’t too difficult for a beginner like myself, it was fun although I still have a lot to learn about drone flying. Check out fellow technology blogger Joe Teh of Techielobang TikTok video on the DJI Flip in action at the DJI Flip launch event.

With more hands on experiences and learning about DJI drone flying, starting from my DJI Air 3S coverage, followed by DJI Flip, I am still looking around adding a DJI drone to my photography and content creation services, I am looking at producing travel vlogs and potentially explore other business opportunities with drone photography, videography and cinematography.

DJI also has another drone that caught my attention, DJI Neo with a very attractive price point. Therefore, I am considering the DJI Flip and DJI Neo, I have fellow techies, creatives, photographers, filmmakers and videographers sharing their DJI Flip and DJI Neo flying/content creation experiences with me.

Hopefully, I would be to share more about my DJI drone flying journeys down the road!
