Buying call

Buy the Lito 1 if you want a cheap first drone: reviewers praised its low price, obstacle avoidance, AI subject tracking, stable flight in breezy conditions, decent battery life and good image quality. Skip it if you want the best footage, because it has a small sensor, no log profile or HDR, and weaker low-light quality than the Lito X1. It lacks LiDAR, the camera can't rotate for vertical, and DJI doesn't officially sell the Lito series in the US.
