Guide to the DJI range

DJIMini
DJI’s flagship compact drones and best-selling line for entry-level pilots. These are all models under 250g, which means they have few or no flight restrictions, depending on where you’re flying.
• Discover the Mini range

DJI Air
A step forward from the Mini series, aimed at enthusiasts. These drones are in the higher weight category, which means they are more robust and you will be able to fly for longer, but you will need the equivalent of a certificate of proficiency from your region before flying.
• Discover the DJI Air range

DJI Mavic
Leading consumer drones with cutting-edge camera performance. This is a further step up from the DJI Air line, and again you’ll need a certificate of proficiency before flying.
• Discover the DJI Mavic range

DJI Neo
The cheapest, smallest, lightest and simplest DJI drone. It comes with a one-touch takeoff from your hand, designed for aerial selfies (this type of drone is sometimes called a selfie drone).
• Discover the DJI Neo range

DJI Avata
FPV (first person view) drones, designed to be used with goggles for high-speed, responsive, immersive flight. Legally, you need a “spotter” with you when flying drones with glasses.
• Discover the DJI Avata range

There are a few standalone options to be aware of. THE Lito is a simple beginner drone at an extremely affordable price – it’s a step below the Mini range in terms of price and capabilities. THE DJI Flip is another beginner drone with vlogger-friendly features. At the other end of the scale is the DJI inspires range, aimed at professionals – the sort of thing that could be rented for productions.
