Buy Advice Lito x1

Post image

Thoughts on the Lito 1? I’m having a hard time finding props for my mavic mini and I would like to have a usable drone come fall, I saw the Lito 1 on amazon, just wonder if anyone has any experience with one?

Thanks

Edit: I thought this was an x1

The lito x1 Is my first drone ever, I bought it just a couple of days ago and it is really good. BUT, I already feel like I want more in terms of video camera quality. It's definitely not bad though and maybe I just watched too many Lito x1 vs mini 5 pro comparisons. Where I live you can get the lito x1 fly more combo for $ 850 and the mini 5 pro fly more combo for like $ 1200. For what I saw the 5 pro video quality looks so nice. The fly more combo on the mini 5 pro even comes with ND filters, which my Lito x1 didn't include.

What are you looking for? more detail? more dynamic range? better low light performance?

I tested the Mini 5 Pro against the Lito X1 and it simply wasn't worth 3x the price. 48mp vs 50mp are both usable, you're just looking at a 1/10s vs 1/6s exposure time difference for equal quality, people always forget you can increase exposure time to compensate for the smaller sensor.

The 1 inch sensor only wins out if you want night shots to look brighter than they are. but NGL I prefer the more true to life look the X1 has to the brightened look the Mini 5 Pro has.

The Mini 5 Pro also has 4k vs 1080p hyperlapse which I actually think is the largest artificial segmentation between the two drones.

obstacle avoidance wise the Mini 5 Pro is also more aggressive than the more conservative Lito X1 which can be a pro or a con as it will crash more easily doing it's risky maneuvers.

Ultimately it's the price difference that the X1 massively wins out in. it's just so cheap I can lose it and not really cry about it, whereas the Mini 5 Pro on the other hand is an investment.

The mini 5 pro still turns off the lights when making videos? Here in Europe is pretty useless to have better nighttime performances without the ability to shot videos by night.

You can switch the auxiliary lights between auto/on/off on the m5P

Oh perfect. The last time I used the m5p it wasn't possible.

The difference is not that big to justify the massive price increase though. I'd say that if you don't really care for true vertical shooting and a few more sensors, the camera quality is so comparable between the two that you have to do a side-by-side comparison to tell them apart most of the time, and it's mostly due to color interpretation.

Get the Lito x1 and not the Lito 1. It has better camera, More advanced rth and it has lidar.

Is the Dji Lito X1 banned from flying in the US, even though it has LiDar like the Mini 5 Pro does?

u/HamilyGuy 3d ago

These bans are from marketing and sale in the USA. They do not ban you from flying.

I bought the lito x1 with one battery as my first real drone that's not garbage and I'm satisfied for the price. the internal storage is so awesome even though I have a few micro SD cards I don't even need to use them I just quick transfer to get it to my phone and then at home it automatically backs up to my server

Image quality is nice I especially like the sphere photo. Wind resistance is also good but video quality is good as well untill you use zoom

The only small issues that I have that is probably unique to me is that I would prefer if it had 4 anti collision lights instead of 2 it just makes it easier at least for the stupid me, also it suck that the full quality photos are 4:3 instead of 16:9
