Sharper Images, Smoother Footage
Both drones capture detailed 4K videos, but DJI Lito 1 offers greater flexibility with its 1/2-inch CMOS sensor, 48MP photos, and 4K/60fps recording.
For creators who want smoother motion or slow-motion footage, Lito 1 also supports 4K/100fps recording. Mini 4K remains a practical choice for straightforward aerial photography and everyday 4K video.
More Confidence in Every Flight
DJI Mini 4K provides reliable hovering, Return to Home, and downward sensing for positioning.
DJI Lito 1 goes further with omnidirectional obstacle sensing, helping detect obstacles from multiple directions and providing additional support when flying in challenging environments.
Obstacle sensing has environmental limitations and does not replace responsible piloting.
Intelligent Tracking Makes the Difference
Want to film yourself hiking, cycling, or exploring new places? DJI Lito 1 supports ActiveTrack, allowing the aircraft to follow a selected subject during supported flight conditions.
DJI Mini 4K offers creative QuickShots, but lacks ActiveTrack subject-following functionality.
Longer Flights, Stronger Connection
Mini 4K offers up to 31 minutes of flight time with DJI O2 video transmission.
Lito 1 increases the maximum flight time to 36 minutes with its standard battery and supports DJI O4 video transmission for a more capable live-view experience.
