The flip sounds like a whole bee hive

YouTube▲ recommend

So the Flip suit my needs while getting excellent picture quality

YouTube— neutral

The footage that comes out of the camera is great it struggles in the wind because of its larger footprint with those big prop guards.

YouTube— neutral

I just wish the body was under the rotors. This would make hand launch so much easier.

YouTube▲ recommend

Just for the price factor, I would go for the Flip in a heartbeat.

The main thing which I dislike about the Flip is the noise it produces making it very conspicuous and annoying to the general public.

If only dji flip had active track that works on vehicles it had been the best budget friendly drone...

YouTube— neutral

The flip also has a short range when used without the controller.

I got it over the weekend and I love it

r/dji— neutral

But the flip definitely has a niche. I love it too. If someone is a beginner and just want to have one drone, I recommend this. I do complain about the wind too though.

I have had a flip since June but wish I would’ve got a mini pro 4, the flips biggest flaw is it can’t rotate its gimbal and the 9:16 shorts videos arent very good quality

YouTube▲ recommend

The Flip performed so much better than expected!

I Love my dji flip.... Excellent for beginners & pros

r/dji— neutral

Overall I've enjoyed using the flip in the short time I've had it but even a small breeze will kick it off course, so that's a challenge.

I almost lost Flip to wind in Scotland - stressed a lot about it while my old mini 2 was resisting pretty strong winds on the seaside in Wales.

THE FLIP IS AMAZING

MavicPilots▼ don’t recommend

It's my second time flying and the DJI flip camera keeps shaking. It's as if the gimbal is not even working. I did not crash it or anything.

YouTube▲ recommend

So for what I need/use it for...its perfect

YouTube▲ recommend

I love it's image quality!

YouTube▲ recommend

I think that good to use for a blog for solo filmmaking like me

YouTube▲ recommend

It's not that bad in the winds and camera is excellent.

YouTube▲ recommend

I bought the flip a few weeks ago, and I'm definitely keeping it.

YouTube▲ recommend

I actually recommend the FLIP to most beginners as the best compromise, especially if the newbies are constrained by price.

i just love this as a creator
