DJI Flip Just Got Smarter: Dolly Zoom & Cinematic Upgrades in Latest Firmware Update

The DJI Flip drone, already a favorite among compact drone enthusiasts, just got a major upgrade, and it's a game-changer for content creators. With its latest firmware update, DJI has added a cinematic Dolly Zoom feature, refined video quality, and made the Flip an even more powerful tool for vloggers, filmmakers, and tech lovers alike.

What’s New in the DJI Flip Update?

The standout addition is the Dolly Zoom, a dynamic effect often used in films to create a dramatic background shift while keeping the subject steady in the center. This new capability puts Hollywood-style footage at your fingertips, especially useful for creators looking to elevate their aerial content.

The firmware also includes enhanced skin tone rendering and fine-tuning for photo and video capture, resulting in more lifelike, flattering footage straight out of the camera. These upgrades further cement the DJI Flip’s position as one of the best portable drones in its class.

To activate these new features, users must update to the latest version of the DJI Fly app.

DJI Flip: Small in Size, Big on Features

If you haven’t explored the DJI Flip yet, here’s why it’s quickly become a top-tier choice for creators on the go:

  • Ultra-Portable Design: The Flip folds into a compact unit, with each arm and propeller guard collapsing neatly underneath. It’s ideal for travel and spontaneous shoots.

  • 4K60 Horizontal + 2.7K Vertical Video: Whether you’re filming cinematic B-roll or TikToks, the Flip’s dual-orientation support delivers high-quality footage.

  • 48MP Stills: Capture ultra-sharp aerial photography with a click.

  • Smart Flight Modes: Auto tracking, pre-programmed cinematic paths, and AI-enhanced subject framing make it beginner-friendly and pro-worthy.

  • Long Flight Time: Enjoy up to 31 minutes of flight time on a single charge.

  • O4 Transmission: With up to 8 miles of range, you get a stable, long-distance connection and low-latency video feed.

  • D-Log M 10-bit Color: For color graders and editors, this offers better dynamic range and post-production flexibility.

Why This Update Matters

Cinematic tools like Dolly Zoom were once limited to full-sized drones or high-end production equipment. Now, creators with a DJI Flip can achieve professional results on a pocket-sized device. Whether you're a travel vlogger, indie filmmaker, or social media content creator, this update turns the DJI Flip into a storytelling machine.
