DJI drops a brand-new sub-250g drone line on April 23 — and the timing matters more than the specs.

What Is the DJI Lito?

Two foldable consumer AI drones. The Lito 1 (~$330) is the entry-level pick replacing the Mini 4K: 22 GB storage, 30-min flight time, and basic intelligent flight modes. The Lito X1 (~$759) is the real deal — LiDAR-assisted 360° obstacle avoidance, 42 GB storage, O5 transmission with 20 km range, and up to 50 minutes on the Plus battery. Both stay under 250 grams on standard batteries. Top speed sits at 18 m/s.

Here’s the kicker: both models cleared FCC certification before the December 22, 2025 cutoff. The Lito X1 got approved November 27; the Lito 1 squeaked through December 11. No new DJI drones can get FCC approval under the current rules. DJI is suing, but for now, these are it.

Developer Access via DJI Mobile SDK

The Lito series is expected to support DJI’s Mobile SDK (MSDK V5), which gives developers API control over flight paths, camera, waypoint missions, and telemetry. Real use cases already exist on MSDK: automated agricultural surveys, infrastructure inspection, and search-and-rescue workflows. If you build on DJI drones, the Lito line is likely your last new hardware option in the US market.
