Buying call

Buy the Flip if you want an easy, safe vlogging drone: reviewers praised its foldable full-coverage prop guards, smooth 4K/60 HDR video, 48MP stills, 10-bit log support, lots of shooting modes, palm takeoff and a premium build under 250g. Skip it if you fly in wind or want full collision sensing, because it gets pushed around by gusts and has only forward obstacle detection. Built-in storage is tiny, and flight time trails the Mini drones.
