LITO? Wasn’t the Duke in Dune? Nope. This is a new Drone Class from DJI

There is the NEO, the FLIP, the Mini, MAVIC, Air, AVATA – and now, the Lito. Just when you thought DJI must have run out of a market to address, well, they have.

The Lito’s demographic is very specific, says DJI.

I have a review model on the way to me and will be able to give further info when that arrives in a week or so. Until, the technical and other guff I have resourced is below.


Designed for aspiring creators exploring aerial photography for the first time, this new lineup of entry-level aerial camera dronesmakes high-altitude aerial photography accessible and beginner-friendly from day one.

With its affordable price point and well-rounded features, the Lito X1 and Lito 1 strike the perfect balance between high performance and value. It’s an ideal camera drone for young newcomers to aerial photography who want to capture campus life, outdoor adventures, and creative moments.

Leading the range, the premium Lito X1 features a 1/1.3″ CMOS sensor with 48MP effective pixels for lifelike detail capture. It’s equipped with advanced 5-lux omnidirectional obstacle sensing and forward-facing LiDAR for enhanced precision—ensuring safer flight in complex environments. The intelligent filming tools, such as ActiveTrack, QuickShots, MasterShots, Hyperlapse, and Panorama, lower the learning curve and ensure professional results from a creator’s first takeoff.

Meanwhile, the Lito 1 offers a 1/2″ CMOS 48MP sensor and comprehensive 5-lux omnidirectional obstacle sensing, bringing safety and tracking capabilities to an even more accessible package.

Smarter Sensing for Safer Flying

The Lito Series features a multi-layered safety system designed with beginners in mind. The built-in omnidirectional vision system actively avoids obstacles like cliffs and walls, allowing creators to focus on the joy of flying from takeoff to landing. The premium Lito X1 takes this a step further, enhanced with forward-facing LiDAR for  highly precise perception in complex environments.

Captures Crisp Imaging, Rich in Detail

The Lito Series makes it possible to capture stunning visuals – from rich daytime details to clean, low-noise nightscapes. Lito 1 is equipped with a 1/2-inch CMOS sensor and an f/1.8 aperture to capture up to 8K-resolution photos and 4K-resolution video, retaining crisp detail even when zoomed or cropped. The premium Lito X1 uplevels the camera with a 1/1.3-inch CMOS sensor and an f/1.7 aperture, supporting HDR video recordings with up to 14 stops of dynamic range and 10-Bit D-Log M.

Get High-Quality Shots with ActiveTrack and Smart Modes

The Lito Series delivers stable subject tracking via ActiveTrack, even at speeds up to 12 m/s. Combined with QuickShots, MasterShots, Hyperlapse, and Panorama modes, beginners can automatically execute complex camera moves and capture high-quality footage with ease.

Fly Farther with a Stable View

The Lito Series offers up to 36 minutes of flight time with the standard Intelligent Flight Battery. It also features wind resistance up to 10.7 m/s, allowing the camera drone to hover and fly stably in windy conditions.

Create with Ease and Efficiency

With QuickTransfer, files can be transferred up to 50 MB/s via Wi-Fi 6. Additionally, the premium Lito X1 includes 42GB of internal storage.
