Jasper Ellens has shared new details about the DJI Flip, which could be one of DJI's stranger drone launches to date. To recap, information about the unreleased drone been slowly trickling out in the last fortnight or so. In part, this has been because of a recent Federal Communications Commission (FCC) listing, which arrived shortly after DJI announced the Mic Mini globally (curr. $169 on Amazon).
Typically, early leaks like these would indicate that a device still has a way to go before becoming official. However, Ellens' latest disclosure suggests otherwise. As the image below shows, the leaker has spotted Amazon Mexico referring to the Flip in an apparent listing for its existing Mini 3 drone.

Allegedly, the Flip measures approximately 300 x 300 x 80 mm, which we suspect relates to the drone when unfolded. If that is the case, then it would see the Flip sitting between the Mini 4 Pro and Neo, which measure 298 x 373 x 101 mm and 130 × 157 × 48.5 mm, respectively. Moreover, the Flip will weigh 249 g, despite also reportedly featuring an 18% larger battery than the Mini 4 Pro.
Presumably, DJI will sell the Flip on its own, and not just in a Fly More Combo package. At any rate, the suggestion that the latter will include an RC 2 remote controller implies that the Flip Fly More Combo package could well exceed $1,000, as is the case with the Mini 4 Pro equivalent. Unfortunately, it is still unclear when DJI will officially announce the Flip.
