Not to be confused with a toy, the DJI Flip drone has proven to be a pint-sized powerhouse since it was first released earlier this year. Yet, despite this vlogging-focused drone from DJI already being quite popular and powerful with its 4K60 horizontal video capture and 48MP stills, it’s been lacking a few killer features that you might find in higher-end aerial drone options.
All that changes with a new firmware update that is set to add a cinematic dolly zoom feature as well as other improvements, which should make the DJI Flip even more capable and even more of a popular investment.
Let’s look at this update to the DJI Flip and how you can get yours updated today.
DJI Flip Firmware Update
So, the killer news feature is a dynamic Dolly Zoom feature that will let flyers perform a cinematic warping background effect while still keeping your subject squarely centered in the frame. A great option for aerial cinematographers and editors looking to create a cinematic and sophisticated movie that looks professional and dynamic.
The DJI Flip is also set to get some skin tone enhancements and fine-tuning improvements in both photo and video modes that should make your compositions more pleasing and lifelike. To fully take advantage of this firmware update, users will need to run the latest version of the DJI Fly app and make sure the app is fully up-to-date as well.
You can review all of the firmware update materials on DJI’s website here.
The DJI Flip Review
As a quick reminder, here are some of the best specs and features of the DJI Flip. Physically, the Flip is a folding quadcopter that transforms like no other. Each arm, motor, propeller, and propeller guard is one piece, with each of the four twisting and folding underneath the Flip for ultimate portability.
When unfolded, the Flip can take off from your palm without requiring a remote, and, once aloft, the high-end camera system can capture 4K60 horizontal video, 2.7K vertical video, and 48MP stills, taking advantage of a wide range of intelligent flight modes for professional-quality results.
