What we like about DJI Lito X1

  • Larger 1/1.3-inch 48 MP sensor with f/1.7 lens for cleaner low-light footage than the Lito 1
  • D-Log M colour profile and HDR video give real room for colour grading
  • 42 GB of internal storage as a backup when no microSD card is inserted
  • Omnidirectional obstacle sensing and ActiveTrack in a 249 g C0-class body
  • O4 transmission up to 15 km and up to 36 minutes of flight per battery
  • 4K video at up to 100 fps and 130 Mbps on a three-axis gimbal

What we don't like about DJI Lito X1

  • Clearly more expensive than the Lito 1 for the same body and flight performance
  • The basic RC-N3 controller has no built-in screen
  • No waypoint missions for planned, repeatable flight paths
  • Bitrate stays at 130 Mbps, below the 150 Mbps of DJI's Mini 4 Pro

Verdict

The DJI Lito X1 is the better-equipped sibling of the Lito 1, aimed at beginners who want room to grow. It keeps the 249 g C0 body, omnidirectional obstacle sensing, ActiveTrack and O4 transmission with up to 15 km range. The difference is the camera: a larger 1/1.3-inch 48 MP sensor with an f/1.7 lens captures cleaner low-light footage, and 4K at up to 100 fps can be recorded in the flat D-Log M profile for grading. DJI also adds 42 GB of internal storage, so a forgotten microSD card no longer ends the day. Flight time reaches 36 minutes per battery and it handles winds up to 10.7 m/s. It costs noticeably more than the Lito 1, and the RC-N3 controller still needs a phone. For hobbyists who care about image quality, the extra money is well spent.
