The DJI Lito is a series of teleoperated compact quadcopter drones for personal and commercial aerial photography and videography use, released by the Chinese technology company DJI.
Design and development
The Lito was announced by DJI on 23 April 2026 as an entry-level drone with two different variants; the Lito 1 and Lito X1. The Lito, which bears a resemblance to the DJI Mini, is a quadcopter with folding arms and a weight of , which puts it below the mandatory registration thresholds in most many regions. Both Lito models feature an O4 video transmission system and an omnidirectional vision-based obstacle avoidance system. The Lito X1's obstacle avoidance system is complemented by a forward-facing lidar, allowing it to avoid obstacles in low-light conditions. The Lito 1 lacks the lidar of the X1 and has air vents in its place. Other differences between the two models include the camera and storage systems. The Lito 1 is equipped with a 48-megapixel 1/2" CMOS camera sensor and has no internal storage, instead relying on a microSD. The Lito X1 has a 48MP 1/1.3" CMOS sensor and 42GB of internal memory. Both models have a maximum flight time of 36 minutes with a standard battery, though DJI offers an "Intelligent Flight Battery Plus" that increases this to 52 minutes at the cost of pushing the drone's weight to above the registration thresholds of many regions.
Reception TechRadar praised the Lito X1 for its omnidirectional obstacle avoidance, noting that its predecessor, the Mini 4K, had only a downward-facing sensor. TechRadar also praised the drone for its video quality, which was noted to be above average for its price, though the default settings often led to overexposed images. Engadget compared the Lito's video quality to that of the DJI Neo 2 and the DJI Flip.
