DJI Lito

So, DJI has launched the Lito X1 drone and positioned it as the fresh replacement for the Mini 3, but American buyers won’t be getting it. Instead, the US market is left with an unexpected consolation prize: 31% off on the Mini 3 (DJI RC), now discounted to just $379 from the usual $549. Interestingly, this is what the new Lito X1 would also have cost if it had launched stateside. But here’s why the “old” drone may suddenly be DJI’s smartest buy in America.

DJI has launched two brand-new budget camera drones today, the Lito X1 and Lito 1, and they look exactly like the kind of products American buyers would normally rush to grab. Affordable pricing. Smart safety tech. Strong cameras. Beginner-friendly controls. There’s just one problem: they’re not coming to the United States.
