As you probably have heard, DJI have launched two new drones aimed at beginner pilots with low price points to match - does it now make it easier for beginners to decide which to go for first?

DJI Lito 1: Simplicity Meets Smart Flight
The DJI Lito 1 is built for first-time pilots who want a smooth and stress-free flying experience. Its standout feature is omnidirectional obstacle sensing, which actively detects and avoids obstacles in all directions—giving users confidence while learning to fly.
Another major benefit is ActiveTrack, which automatically locks onto and follows a subject. Whether you’re filming a person, pet, or moving object, the drone keeps everything perfectly framed without manual input.
The Lito 1 also includes smart camera moves, allowing beginners to capture cinematic shots with minimal effort. Combined with its capable imaging system, users can create polished videos straight out of the box. In short, the Lito 1 removes the intimidation factor and replaces it with creative freedom.
DJI Lito X1: Premium Features (With LiDAR)
For those who want a step up in quality while still keeping things beginner-friendly, the DJI Lito X1 delivers a more advanced experience. Its key advantage is the 1/1.3" sensor, which captures richer detail, better dynamic range, and improved performance in challenging lighting conditions.
Like the Lito 1, the X1 includes omnidirectional obstacle sensing and ActiveTrack, ensuring safe flights and effortless subject tracking. However, the upgraded imaging system means your footage will look more professional from day one.
The Lito X1 also enhances creative possibilities with intelligent shooting modes and refined smart camera movements. It’s ideal for users who want higher-quality visuals without facing a steep learning curve.
So there you have it!
